Looks like some sort of mario kart charity rally thing 

Looks a good deal safer than the Mario Kart Experience you can do in Tokyo:

@tul66 the engineless Alfa calls to me regularly. If I could afford, I'd answer without hesitation.

Spotted this going the other way on the motorway, is it what I think is?

Fiat 2300 Coupe?

Think a few of us saw this on FB. Thats going to be a brave resto for someone as it looked rotten AF. Surprised they managed to winch it on there without it snapping in half!

FSO Lanos for your viewing pleasure.

Rather uncommon these days. The vast majority of Lanoses were badged as Daewoo. Also, the last car to bear the illustrious FSO badge.

Beautiful gold rag top Jag at Morrison's. 

I couldn't get a closer shot because it's important that my missus doesn't know that I do this sorta thing

Been on holiday enjoying the many different traffic jams all along the south coast, literally everywhere you wanted to go, and back again. 

Volvo on Brighton seafront. 

Also saw this at Bluebell railway, which whilst not actually anything to do with Volvo, does have it in the name. 

Wedding with chav lights, e34 5 series. 

Also Jag in background which I didn't take a photo of for some reason. 

Beetle on the way to the pub. 

Late Pug 309 in Sainsburys. 

Chavalier whilst we were sat in another traffic jam. 

Hiace camper waiting to leave the Isle of Wight as we were arriving. 

Isle of Wight if full of chod isn't it. Everyone has a project on the drive, saw loads plodding about too. I didn't get much as was generally driving but I'd like to ride a bike round there with a camera and take photos of it all. 

Imp Jr appears in a few of these too as he wanted to show his friends, so apologies about that. 

Clio

Cresta and Hiace pickup? Land rover in the background too (loads of them over there) 

Scrote spec scrote. 

Merc 190

This was my attempt..... 

..... to take a photo of this place that I've screenshotted from GoogleMaps. 

Was a black mk4/5 cortina hidden there too. 

At the military museum. 

Have left out the tanks, but will show the ferrets. 

Just by the harbour. 

Walked a few feet further and found this, just sat in the car park. 

Saw this beetle in Yarmouth. 

But across the road was this bad boy. 

Looked amazing. 

Thats it. Saw loads coming the other way when I was sat in traffic one place or another, just didn't get many photos as wasn't quick enough with the camera. 

Also saw this on the way back yesterday.

I am up and down the M40 and M6 most weekends at the  moment house hunting (in the Stoke/Staffordshire area).  Annoyingly my dash cam has been hit and miss with what it saves but it did capture this early NSU Prinz being towed behind a camper..

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Saw these 2 along with a Minerva Land Rover in That London last week, assumed the Lancashire were replicas, but apparently there was a concours at  The Honourable Artillery Company in Finsbury and they were heading east when I spotted them outside a chip shop on Theobalds Rd.

 

Missed getting a pic of the Minerva .

Where abouts in stoke are you looking? 

[Marina door handles]

All over! My better half has landed a nice new job based in Warrington (yes I know its an hour from Stoke but its closer than Hampshire and her parents are based in Stone and she wants to move closer). We are looking at a variety of options around Stoke, Market Drayton, Woore etc. We may have found a place but wont know till after the Bank Hols if they will accept our offer.

Two Minor Vans that I know of, these two have been in the same place for 20 years at least without moving,  my old Boss tried to buy one 20 years ago but the owner wasn't interested in selling, they have been left to the weather and are decaying beautifully

Wow, look at this woeful hunk of junk, the epitome of AS.

Phoar! One of those cars that looks like it's going fast, even standing still. Honda in their prime.

A few finds from the other day:

We'll start with a very tasty Metro 1.1L. Pretty early one this, rolling out the dealership around 3 or 4 months after they launched.

Next up is this not so nice Citroen AX Elation. It's been off the road since 2012 and is most likely incredibly rusty on the inside. Nevertheless it was a cool spot.

Next up a first generation Discovery with the wrong grille... But wait! It's a moderately rare 3 door variant. Don't know how many of these were made actually...

Now time for a very shite scene - a Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback (or was it a Kamback) with square lights and a rather late Citroen ZX - the Xsara launched under a month after it was first taxed.

And finally, the true meaning of Autoshite: a grim camping holiday.

[abelw44]

Discovered this recently, just up the road from me:







It's delightfully shabby, complete with heavily worn leather interior and tasteful* rug on the parcel shelf...

Someone in the Citroën Car Club will probably know who owns that.

Wow, that's a Brazilian 1600 Variant! Quite a different beast from the European Type 3 - apart from the unique styling, the underpinnings were a sort of mishmash of Type 1 and Type 3 - they built them into the 1980s (in slightly restyled form). It would take a serious VW-licker to import on from South America - but I doubt you'll ever see another. Great spot!
