Bad photo, but this on a side road near me. 

Errm......that's not Edgware by any chance, is it? The "XWK" numberplate looks vaguely familiar....

[Richard_FM]

XWK is a Coventry issue if that helps at all.

Nah, New Barné.

Here are the spots from the last two weeks. A lot has happened over the past fortnight, school holidays, covid scares, turning 18, it's been quite a wild ride recently:

Holden HJ Panel Van getting a new windscreen:

Dodge Phoneix (AP2D):

Landcrab, being used as a daily by the looks of it:

Suzuki Jimny (?):

Another early Laser, this time a GL-spec model:

Peugeot 504:

Citroen DSuper:

... and another DS only a few metres away. This has to be the shabbiest DS I've ever seen, the boot doesn't fully shut either by the looks of it:

There was this nice Volvo 240 Estate next to the DS Safari, one of the most AS-esque moments I've ever witnessed:

Nice Alfa GTV:

Merc W116:

Alfa Romeo GT Junior (with bonus late-80's Camry action):

Beetle:

Holden EK Ute:

And finally a Peugeot 505 GTI with a lovely blue corduroy interior:

I do love a 505 ! Probably the only Peugeot I do like the look of.

I spotted this two tone 75 on Saturday.

Then I spotted this GTi yesterday (doesn't look like its moved in a while).

Campsite we are staying at has this dihatsu Pick up with a noisey Diesel engine. It’s crusty and used to empty bins n tow caravans on and off site (storage next door). 

[andyberg]

I think this has been left to die peacefully

.....slowly. That 1200 dizzle is a terrible thing, the 1.4 wasn't much better.

Apologies for the shit picture.... Its not often you see a car with a propeller.... Let alone a propellor as wide as the car... 

[sutty2006]

Is that for extra propulsion? Bit like a nitrous button but more flash like...

When it grows up, it wants to be a hovercraft.

[mitsisigma01]

. Gov says its a Rage, but on their website it shows nothing with a propeller so no idea what was in it, looked a bit old skool vw but I could be wrong, website showed Hayabusa or ZZR1400

[sutty2006]

Spotted Cadillac coupe de ville in a village near to campsite.

[Zelandeth]

Had forgotten about this until just now...

Yesterday afternoon I spotted a light metallic blue Citroen GS/GSA heading through Milton Keynes in the general direction of Newport Pagnell.  Always a bit of a surprise when I see a classic Citroen around here that I don't either know or at least am aware of...

Still have major want for a GSA.

A rare Panther spotted this morning in Edinburgh.

[Aston Martin]

Today has been a Jeepy day. If anyone says these aren't jeeps I shall batter you to death with a bastard savaloy.

 

I've seen multiple Bentaygas... Couple of G63s... A black Rolls Cullinan which really does look like a black cab and an Aston DBX that nobody wants.

[Spurious]

A well worn Triumph 2000. Very well worn. Why does the skeptic in me think they've suddenly found out they can drive it without an MOT?

I can never find the other thread. ?

[mitsisigma01]

Put them in this one and I'm sure someone can move them if need be ??

I saw one of those Rollsbmw taxi's the other week near Goodwood, so fkin fugly. 

[Yoss]

This is in the classic car garage in Beaulieu village. The stuff in there is always a bit overpriced plus Ford scene tax and all that so I wasn't surprised to see it was £18k.

I've managed to cleverley* overlay the reflection of my Skoda over the top of it which was exactly 1/60th of the price. I know most people, even on here, would prefer the Capri but is it 60 times better? 

Also never seen those graphics before, are they genuine period ones? It's a 1600 GT. 

 

* Complete fluke. 

[Zelandeth]

I'd personally far rather have the Skoda...

[billy_bunter]

Went out yesterday. These appeared.....

Is that a Harvest Gold crab?

[Yoss]

Looks like it, though it looks even brighter on my phone, but this has a habit of exaggerating colours.
