It's a good day for shite, kids. More spots, hiding behind a fence in Holywood.

Late Mk1 Golf 1300 is a bit of a rarity - pound to a penny this might be reappearing with GTi badges before too very long...

I'd love to know where this one's been hiding for the past 27 years.

[Edit - probably just been in Northern Ireland but not taxed or MOT'd during the last five years, so not quite such a dramatic discovery, mebbe...]

A couple of early nineties compact execs in the hospital car park today, The Beemer has some interesting adaptations.

Less Breaking Bad...more breaking wind...why do people do this...that there Londonshire.

Citroen Hydropneumatic envy?

 

I think it's a sort of "display" (in the behavioural sense).

Pretty much every other sort of display using vehicles has been outlawed: speed, loud exhausts, flames and smoke, driving like a tit, etc. All prohibited.

Anyone can lease a new shiny thing. So what?

So just crawling around in an eccentric old vehicle, dragging your arse on the road, is left, if being different and getting noticed is what you think you want.........

It's a fad I suppose, like Starsky and Hutch stripes in 1978 or union flags on mini roofs in 1990. And probably a protest about how joyless modern cars are.

A few from yesterday:

A new Jimny looking fantastic amongst all the tedious grey/silver boxes. I’ve only seen this one so far, but am looking forward to seeing a yellow one.

Also looking pretty sharp was this Hyundai Kona. The electric one of these has become a dream car of late (takes all sorts...)

A US spec Camry on a Q plate. I love the Camry, so was happy to see one of these here.

And the hero of the tale. My brother sent me this saying “your website will like this”. He reckons it was straight piped. Lovely thing.

These vents were stuck on with no holes underneath.

Speaking of 90s. Heres a 90s spec mini.

Not actually sure if this was moving or just dumped in the car park. Was in better condition than mine though.

Some dull old rubbish by comparison, I shouldn't like that Ferrari replica half as much as I do.. post-26064-0-97483600-1554931195_thumb.jpg

This hasn't moved in a long time.

post-26064-0-09369700-1554931260_thumb.jpg

Ditto. There were four of these and a 100E but the guy seems to be cutting down.

post-26064-0-03943300-1554931345_thumb.jpg

Nice day to give the Escort some love.

post-26064-0-00620400-1554931428_thumb.jpg

Now I know this is a shit photo so you'll just have to believe me that this is a Lagonda 3-litre. It's not evident here but it's sitting nose-up so I suspect it's been engine-bummed for an Aston of some sort leaving essentially a worthless decaying carcass. Call me a cynic if you want but I reckon the next time this moves it'll be Pinto or Cologne-powered.

post-26064-0-31297500-1554931736_thumb.jpg

And to finish, I don't really like convertibles or white cars in general. But it's a fine example of how slotmags make many things better.
