The Allegro looks very nice, I would prefer a picture of that, it is in the best colour and an LE has great seats also. The Focus is very grim.

The LE is one of mine....

[Shite Ron]

That is very nice?

[vonmon]

Sorry about the faaaaaaaaaaaar away shot, by the time I'd got my phone out, turned the camera app on and taken it, it was well in the distance. But what a nice Rover.

 

[vonmon]

Saw this on my way home.

A couple from over Hampstead way.  These two don't move often.

You need to walk the dog round the block a bit more then, I've been nodding at dog walkers when I'm doing my lap of exercise, but not knowing you or your dog I am none the wiser 

Aha. We changed the dog walking routine as he had an operation in his foot about a month ago. We’ve been driving him to the park to keep him on the grass. Will probably carry on until they start charging for parking again. Here’s a photo of him for nodding at purposes.

Maybe this should go in the dog thread.

Meanwhile in West Ealing today - this Merc’s rear tracking needs attention.

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.

I used to live in a flat in Marchmont Street just across the links around 1986/7. Golf Tavern was my local; happy days

That’s one sturdy lamp post.

One wonders if care in the community is working.  I know we closed all the asylums, ...

It's more like couldn't care less in the community. 

Meanwhile....

A very rare breed was spotted on the coast today, a non-hoon spec Holden VL Commodore.

Executive spec = bASe

Little old lady driving, all the giffer trinkets, automatic naturally.

Would you like me to leave a note under the windscreen wiper @dollywobbler?

[Cento16v]

Spotted in my garden, in miniature ?

Got a bag of old cars out my parents left for my little boy to play with, there's some corkers!

Another lesser-spotted resident of Ealing:

 

[brandersnatch]

Henley. (Suffolk not on-Thames.)

[eifion]

This early suitcase engine 205 is still out and about near me, although it's beginning to look a bit rusty in places.

[MikeR]

still going well on the M56 ,   old L reg as well about 10 years younger than me !!

[Stinkwheel]

Henley. (Suffolk not on-Thames.)

Oh my god that visa, 17RD spec in black with red pin stripes. I think I’m gonna come over all unnecessary and is that a variomatic volvo?

[puddlethumper]

A couple of, too sunny crap photographer, pics of a rather nice Toyota Crown Super Saloon. 

Mmmm. 1970's.

[Datsuncog]

Pretty ripe Sierra parked up in Belfast.

How ripe?

Yeah, that's kinda crispy.

And it was for sale and all. £1850 'reduced' to £1650.

Wheels not included.

*shakes head and walks away sorrowfully*

I've seen both of those at shows in better times. Hopefully they're just dusty because they've got nowhere to go during this lockdown and they'll be back in action again soon.

In fact, I think the Visa is the only roadworthy 17RD not owned by @Six-cylinder!

I have two Visa 17RD both MOTed, in good working order and in addition to the black one there is one more know to the club.  C184 FCV looks tatty in these pictures but I have seen it at a show. Run out of MOT Nov 2019, but not being MOTed over the winter and then lockdown does not surprise me.

D664 PBH is also listed but has been without MOT for many years.

[The Vicar]

Spotted by my brother in work

[Aston Martin]

I saw a SAAB 9000 beavertail.... With a Citroën XM on the back.

 

I am not on lsd.

Last V5 issued 2012 and no record of MOT

There I was bemoaning the lack of anything interesting on my Boris rides (did see a BMW 6-series but I'll have to go back for it another time as the resident was out watering the garden right next to it) when I stumbled across this pair in a road I only diverted into to avoid oncoming pedestrians and felt like I was back in the 1990s. I think they belong to someone I know but I don't believe he lives here so wasn't expecting to see them.
