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.

Yes I like the AX as it easy to park and yet not cramped.

Filled it up today 43.2 mpg.

Sorry I did not see you quicksilver.

Can't remember the last time I saw a Proton Impian actually at work....

These only very loosely fall into this thread since I spotted them on Rightmove but this guy has his priorities right. House is virtually derelict but don't worry cause he's got his new tyres in the living room and a Forrester abandoned in the garden

Cracking little car that is too...if only small cars these days were half as comfortable!

Went to Hailsham the other day and found an old corsa in pretty good condition with giffer krooklok

Then a crusty Merc with giffer aerial with bonus gaffa tape for improved radio reception

Nice example ! Wonder if the pop-ups both work :-)

Unusual to see a towbar fitted to one of these as well.

Found this in Edinburgh the other day. The density of cool/interesting cars in this city is off the limits (compared to Newcastle anyway), I will start uploading all of them on my Flickr account over the next few days. There are many!

Shameless self-promotion

Full of character.

My neighbours opposite briefly owned two of the things, one navy blue, the other metallic light blue. The navy one was a bit rotten,  so they salvaged its bonnet lid and fitted that to the metallic one. I really should post a photo of it on the mismatched panel thread.....

These 2 belong to a discerning gent,who lives in our street.

 

The Toyota parked next to me yesterday,even comes with a stoplock..

Ahh the good old 8.2 V8, built before America cared about the polar bears. Smiles bet gallon in one of them!

The extravagance. America still doesn't really care about polar bears; that's the job of the Canadians.

Apparently they are around 595lb dry weight.

Approximately 2.94 fiesta 1.25 zetec-se engines or one 1982 Honda Goldwing GL1100

Spotted this today, I haven't seen one for ages!  Always liked the rear lights on them.
