There’s tailblazers and then there’s taking the piss.

I saw a black CX near Heathrow last week. 

Anyway, I'll see your C15 and raise you another C15...

Plus an Escort van.

If any design needed to be left alone...

Can’t remember the last time I saw one of these out and about and it looked great fun to buzz around the lanes outside Cambridge this morning.

A mixed approach to station cars round here. That Polo is the flakiest car I’ve seen in a long time

This looked amazing in such a bright back colour. I get the feeling we’re in the verge of people buying bright cars again

Finally, a really highlight, on dealer plates, faded to pink and brightening up the drive through no end

Ha, I saw a blue 02 plate Convoy today still with those square yellow school bus signs in it. I'm surprised they still let school kids anywhere near one of those.

I can ask my Dad to have a look next time he's down in the garage (I live in Nottingham).  Lovely motor, and obviously looked after!

Yes please, would love to buy it back. Should have put it in storage instead of selling it!

This area is delivering. When was the last time you saw a Mini this rough still out in combat?

Also parked next to this 205 Mardy Gragh. There were chequered blankets rolled up in the foot wells.

Faded grandeur Series 3 Daimler spotted in Helsinki. Amazing how small and dainty it seems compared to modern stuff.

Ahh the Carina E. The Irish farmers favourite with the Liam Byrne 1600cc and steel wheels. Usually with a square bale hanging out the back...

...driven everywhere at a max speed of 25mph, weaving on the road and slowing down at every gate or gap in a hedge, so the driver can look into a field to see if the neighbours have started to cut the silage, bought any calves, had many lambs etc. etc. 

Towing a rickety homemade trailer made from the axle of a 1955 Morris Minor with a sick ram in the back is optional. Mangy, highly unpredictable and vicious sheepdog panting away in the passenger seat and steaming up the windows is a standard accessory. Leave keys in car when visiting pub.

Fill the boot also with half a bag of calf nuts, a dosing gun, an old battered copy of The Messenger, some receipts and a huge ball of baling twine and you're good to go.

:D

Wierd front and entirely numerical number plate.

Which banana republic uses only numbers in their plates?

That's what I was wondering. This is in Fulham so it could be any one of those Middle Eastern lot I'm guessing.

I think Israel and the Palestinian Authority also both use all numbered plates.

Possibly a Santana? & ...what's that roll of carpet up to?

Whatever it is, they apparently got their bodykit from whoever were supplying the Lada dealers with the kits for the Niva Cossack towards the end of UK imports.

It looked as bloody awful on the Niva as it does on that...

Getting ready for its close-up?

Not a Santana PS10, they don't have scuttle vents.

I spotted the star of yesterday's HubNut road test video in the wild :) Don't think he saw me but @Six-cylinder was out and about in the AX today.
