Fantastic Fiat Fiorinioioioioioiaiaiaio!

And a Mister 2!

@Burnside - isn’t that your Fiat?

Very tidy looking truck.

Before I say goodbye to my local area, here's a few of the local sights...

Tidy looking Mk2 Golf living on the street round the corner from mine, though is sorned and  appears to have failed MOT on emissions and headlamp aim last December. Surprised how rare they've become.   

Is that Marchmont, by any chance?

Down here in the big smoke, there are still a fair number of them kicking about.

The rather less pristine side of The Meadows that is Tollcross, Lauriston Gardens. Bit of a chod desert here.

Of course! I don't know how I managed to miss that, given that a friend lives around the corner on Lonsdale.

Yeah, there always seem to be a few hippy transit/camper types knocking around Marchmont area, the odd thing of interest in the outer suburbs.

Somebody loved this, this, THING once!

[vonmon]

And this heap

 

[vonmon]

Somebody will LOVE this!

[spartacus]

Who?

See what I did there?

Anyhoo, have a Triumph, in Chesterfield.

[Hertz]

Anyone know their Motorbikes? Spotted this on my daily Covid Walk, looks like it's been dragged out of the nearby hedge.

What is that heap, I recognise the roofline but can't put my finger on it? 

[spartacus]

1st generation Tigra I think.

[vonmon]

I think it'll polish up OK.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Plateless C220 has been sitting there for several weeks now. No idea who dumped it there.

[DarrenKC53]

I couldn’t find a Sign Shite thread so posting this here. 
 

Quiet at work this time of night so took a quick walk about and see this on the building across the road. From the era when diesel and catalysts weren’t quite so mainstream and mentions the Vehicle Inspectorate

That is £2k more than the next most expensive on auto trader however it appears to have only done 9k.

Yeah, it's very salty, but it appears to have been extremely well looked after. I think they're a fine looking motor

[MiniMort]

On yesterday's essential journey I saw:

A cursed Chrysler

A shitty Starlet

A multicoloured Micra (the rest of the car was turquoise)

A... I've ran out of things to rhyme...

And peak 90s dullness itself - a Jewish Racing Gold Mondeo saloon

That must be up there with the MG 6 as cars that were shite as soon as they rolled off the production line. Not in a bad way, just the fact nobody's heard of them (or is that just me) and sold by the dozen rather than the thousand. 

 

EDIT: Just been looking at these. It's a 2.4 litre with 4x4 and auto. Now I'm impressed, I was assuming it was gonna be about 1.5 litre basic car, like suzuki do well. This must appeal to the Suzuki demographic about as much as an Austin 3-Litre. Says its ULEZ compliant too on autotrader but that be a lie.

Never heard of it!

Surprised it was ever officially imported - as many as 500 cars, all 2.4-litre, all with part-time 4WD. Might be a FoTU / ShiteFest candidate in 10 years' time if there are any left.

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

Nice looking old Jag.

[mitsisigma01]

Those spaces are so small even a Jag needs 4 of them ?

It was, but now resides with The Old Bloke Next Door.

We sold it just over a year ago via AS as sadly needed a bigger Van. Although was kindly offered the option of 1st refusal, if it comes up for sale again.

Which mean's alot as my Dad's owned it from New. Great to see it still going strong.

Looks like it could do with a wash though!
