Went and visited a few friends and outside one was this rather forlorn Scooby. Mot'd and taxed.

Mate said it hadn't moved for months. Probably since last Mot April 19. Now on a Boris.

Turd of all turds. I mean, I don’t even remember ever seeing one of these, let alone when did you last see... etc.

Alan Gold on Flickr would be absolutely hyped if he was seeing this. He owns not one but two of them!

A very late pre facelift B1 Passat spotted in Llanelli today.  Severely rat scened and in desparate need of some loving Tlc before it go's beyond the point of no return.

Very minty fresh-looking Scandibrick, seen this morning.

Rare to see something still so red after thirty-odd years; unsure if it's been repainted or just very cossetted.

I wasn't that close, in fairness!

I know it's been well documented in the past, but it never fails to amaze me just how cars have grown in size in a relatively short time. You've got a Passat, a full size family car at the time, being made to look small next to a Corsa, which is supposed to be a city runabout. Not sure how much the lowering  on the Passat contributes to this contrast though.

The local rats from McDonald's made short work of the wiring apparently and put the lights out for about a week, probably tasted better than the McDonald's!!!

As they are LEDs, the input voltage will either be 12v or 48v...

She sent me this photo of an ace old Corolla that I've seen while driving.

I'd be more worried about the stuff you can't see, underneath. There's going to be a reason for all those props...

I could look at this all day - literal perfection... Well, except for the gingercators, perhaps...
