GrumpiusMaximus Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I've done pretty well today, I think... Bastard child of Ovlov & Renault. Does anybody else remember when these were all over the place? This examples has only done 37,500 miles. ...and my best spot of the decade. On the A2, doing 60. An Trabant! Photo courtesy of Lady Grumpius. I got excited and she couldn't work out why. I just asked that she get a picture. This has 128,000 miles on it. Can you imagine how desperate you'd have to be to drive that much in this car? I suppose it's only 4,250 or so a year - but still. danthecapriman, michael t, sutty2006 and 5 others 8
sutty2006 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I remember when these were ten a penny. Infact I had a pepper red Finesse as my second car, one I wished I’d held onto. Don’t see many now, I think the ground claimed them back. GrumpiusMaximus, Dannyk and worldofceri 3
Tadhg Tiogar Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 In the back streets of Ealing, an Opel-badged Astra. Irish-spec, but re-registered on British plates a while ago. Interestingly the MoT on this ran out in April last. LightBulbFun and michael t 2

It felt like a space ship compared to the Metro we had at the time. That particular car had an alarming habit of frying the ECU handling basically all the interior systems. Think it had been through five before it was given up on and sold on. The other memory I have of working on one belonging to a friend is that the engine is center over at precisely the right angle to make getting to absolutely anything a nightmare. GrumpiusMaximus 1
egg Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I vaguely recognise that Trabbie - but can't place it at the mo....found a pic of it on Twitter LightBulbFun and GrumpiusMaximus 2
Remspoor Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Some photos of the North Devon countryside metal. A VW reflecting on life. A Toyota Hi ace and a Mazda Bongo imported from Japan. Datsuncog 1
Remspoor Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 More...... A working Series 11 Landy. Reliant Rialto which was advertising some takeaway. MOT seems to have expired! Cut this one, but basically in God they trust. worldofceri 1
warch Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Some shite in Portinatx in mid November last year. A slightly matt but really good E30 with the inevitable paint fade after 30 odd years of Baleric sun A two door Jeep Cherokee diesel, with a slow puncture, keeping an 80s Merc company in the apartment car park. A lovely Mehari in Citroen racing orange Craig the Princess, Datsuncog, Aston Martin and 4 others 7

morrisoxide Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I spotted this a few weeks back but wasn't able to get a picture. I knew I had a pic of it somewhere, it's taken me this long to find said pic. I don't usually do Vdubs but this one caught my eye. Quantum. worldofceri, Remspoor, danthecapriman and 3 others 6
MorrisItalSLX Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Isn’t that super badge on that Hunter from a Marina?

MorrisItalSLX Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Definitely a BL part, perhaps a case of parts bin sharing between manufacturers.
Tadhg Tiogar Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 2 hours ago, MorrisItalSLX said: Definitely a BL part, perhaps a case of parts bin sharing between manufacturers. Seems there was a Hunter Super, and the one in the photos is a 1500, rather than a 1725. DVLA sez it's taxed / exempt until September 2020, and is obviously MoT-exempt, but it clearly hasn't moved from this spot in a long while. The tyres are all losing pressure by the week. The owner is probably a shiter, with various oul cars dotted in various places in North West London. I think he might also own the fintail Merc that I photographed a while back languishing behind a wheelie bin on the opposite side of the North Circular. UPDATE: he IS a shiter!! Knew I'd seen it before! The Hunter Super used to be parked here - the spot is now occupied by a fintail Merc that I photographed in June last! Angrydicky, Datsuncog, Skizzer and 3 others 6

It's for that reason there's quite a bit of random US stuff floating around here. There's a mid 2000s Saturn Ion I see with some regularity around here along with a near base model Ford Aerostar...not the sort of stuff you'd expect someone to import privately! ...Says the guy who spent a while considering importing a mid 80s Chevy Cavalier Station Wagon... egg 1

Have also fallen out with Photobucket as the updated application keeps fucking up my phone so I am trying Flikr. Will see how this works. I wonder if Photobucket realise they have shot themselves in the foot? Fair enough if they want to start charging new customers or even old customers for extra storage, but to delete old images for current customers and generally make images unavailable? Flickr seem to be doing a similar thing, but at least a certain number of old images are still accessible. Seems to be a fair number of imgur.com pics not displaying. Are they doing the same thing? And tinypic images seem to be broken. They must be all doing the same thing?
