spotted from the living room balcony hence the excellent* potato quality photograph

 

dont think this ones local regular, first time im seeing it

 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Can't fit the Transit in the back garden so, er, just tie the gates around it.....

 

 

.... and along the way, a Scrote that doesn't go anywhere these days:

 

 

Opposite Hornchurch Sainsbury's:

 

 

Heaven. I'm in Heaven...:

Pair of Jags taken by Mrs Yoss on my behalf.

 

And a pair of mk1 Foci in action. Both local reg with the black one still on original dealer plates.

[Schaefft]

Spotted this crappy old Mazda yesterday. What weirdo would fix their car with duct tape like that... Oh wait

 

 

[Schaefft]

Also don't tell me this doesn't belong to someone on here.

That looks more like brown parcel tape!

[Datsuncog]

Nordie VAG shite within the past 24hrs.

 

Non-$c3n3 Mk3 Golf CL - still with original local dealer rear sticker. Shame about the wheeltrims and number plates, though.

 

 

 

Double yellow lines? Didn't see 'em, pal.

 

 

Big Audi A8 spotted a matter of minutes ago.

 

 

 

Not a top-end version, but nice to see all the same.

 

 

8.75/10 - wud stand next to again.

[Schaefft]

That A8 is lovely indeed. The 2.8 is a bit underpowered for my liking but at least you can pick them up for next to nothing and the transmission might even last a bit longer without the torque of a V8.

[Zelandeth]

Saw a lovely *not* chavved up Nova on an F plate today. Not one I've seen before around here. Glad I had my window open so I got to hear the lovely raspy exhaust note as it vanished up the road.

 

Also saw the unmistakable rear end of an XM disappearing into an underground car park as I passed by. Always forget what fantastic looking cars they when I've not seen one for a while.

Excuse the National Geographic Photography Awards runner - up. Nevertheless, I’d love to meet the character who runs a Savvy and a US market early Focus sedan.

Trip to Boscombe this morning. This lot were all in the side roads off the main Christchurch Road where I parked the car. All within five minutes walk of each other.

 

 

 

Edit: just noticed that Buick has air vents in the boot. Handy for keeping hostages alive.

Fabulous 2 car garage

I know the Webb Family.

[richardmorris]

Unimog this morning.

[MorrisItalSLX]

Oh yes.

 

 

There was also a fleeting glance of a red Ford Laser Lynx too.

[Datsuncog]

Well, this was unexpected. A Dodge Spacevan, in a space outside work.

No apologies for multiple pics, I'm afraid - I could lick this all day long.

I'd previously spotted this rarity at a distance, in traffic, late last year - fantastic to see that it's not only in use doing what it was built to do, but looks just how I remember these Dodges in the 1980s - perpetually down-at-heel, and with that hilariously narrow track.

Just wow.

[Amishtat]

I remember those looking that scruffy too, British Gas and British Telecom with Buzby on the side are the ones that stick in my memory..

Really crap picture, but I haven't seen a J-reg saloon for ages.

Unfashionable, presumably hence unpineappled.

 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

I know the Webb Family.

I get the feeling everyone knows La Famille Webb.

Well anyone in Cx circles certainly. You can’t avoid meeting them

[puddlethumper]

Tidy Micra in Tescos.

 

 

I was down the local parts shop and this little beauty

was outside. Had a chat with the owner who had Fuzz 

look it over, for s.o.s., and he told him to buy a better shell

and use his as a donor. He took no notice and spent about

5 grand on it. Mind you the emblem on the grill cost him £150.

 

 

And, yes, the number plate will get the OCD going in a few.

That's what he was in for, period plates.

It was furkin TINY.

This looked like a grey-blue Dacia 1310 Break, parked with a caravan on a building site next to Shurgard in Harrow. It was spotted from the train...

was not a RHD Dacia Denem was it?

 

that would be spot of the year, seeing as about 1 or 2? are thought to still exist

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Just now, outside Hannants Model Shop next to RAF Museum, Colindale:

 

[Aston Martin]

Upullmeoff had this.

[Datsuncog]

Well, this was unexpected. A Spacevan, in a space outside work.

Feast or famine... look what I happened upon again yesterday morning...

 

 

Now, I was mildly concerned because this was on the M2 onslip at Greencastle, and an ill-timed FTP was possible (although it was a literal stone's throw from the Abbey Fireplaces premises).

 

But stay, what's that parked in front of it?

 

 

Well, of course. What else would pair with a Dodge Spacevan than an Aston Martin DBS?

 

(Apologies for rubbish dashcam crops).

 

Since today's looking actively springlike, have an upbeat pic of shite in sunlight...

 

 

These are parked up at a garage down the road from me, and are apparently for sale albeit at silly money... the same place formerly had some Bertone X1/9s rusting into the weeds for many a long year on the assumption that they were rare and valuable cla$$ics (though, by the end, you'd have been hard pushed to even salvage anything as spares) so hopefully these'll have a happier ending.

 

I believe the R5 is a special edition - Baccara or Monaco, one or the other - but it hasn't run for a right while and four-figure sums have been quoted...
