Lazy spotters thread

Nice old Jag, Cortina with what I assume are Mk2 Escort tail lights, and a tidy-looking W208.

The fuck is this?

feburary's various spots, featuring more excellent* camerawork

[Spiny Norman]

Been scanning some old slides and found this gem among them.

Spotted at Newcastle Quayside today. This is the 3rd time I've seen this C124 in the last 1.5 years or so.

This popped in for an MOT at work today, complete with proper 'back flash' in the rear window. I did praise the driver on his choice of transport.

Edit: bloody shite photo I'll agree🤣

[Conan]

oh yes

[Aston Martin]

If someone would like to buy me a Ferrari in this colour it'd be appreciated. Just so I can turn up at an owners event without Rosso Corsa and Shields... And not wearing a Ralph Lauren polo shirt.

Saw this the other day on my lunchtime walk. Storage is not improving it

Delighted to finally witness my former Pontiac Sunbird's acting debut in Wonder Woman 1984. Glad it wasn't blown up and hope it's still enjoying retirement at Warner Brothers Leavesden.

Water ingress problems at the back?

[mitsisigma01]

Poor heater, secondary double glazing 🤔

[andyberg]

This has been parked up for about a year just along the road from me. MOT expired in September, low milage but I think many a tin worm has found a home looking at its failure list.

Ami pished or sthat blurry?

I'd love to see a better pic of that van - it looks like the body would cut the tyres on a bumpy road

Pretty sure it's bike engined.

 

There seems to be a few lads in the same garage, or at least the same area of industrial estate all with Hijets. Possibly a couple of vans and a pair of pick-ups! 

[High Jetter]

..anytime you pass by there will be fine ☺️

Pretty sure the name of the garage is SLC, which is in Plympton. They do have a Facebook page although i can't view it as I sacked it off years ago - might be worth a look if you're a member...

 

can access it through the link on this page

In London this morning. Unexciting car but when before have you seen a Russian registration plate in the UK? I have seen a handful of Ukrainian, Turkish (reasonably common) and Belarusian registered trucks over here but this is probably the most geographically 'exotic'.

I remember reading up about Russian plates some time ago. The letters are officially in cyrillic, but they only use ones that also feature in the Latin alphabet. For instance here the Y is a sort of U sound and X is Kh.

"177" is Moscow district, I think. Doubtless all the windows were heavily tinted? That junction looks very familiar......

Bulgarian plates also use Cyrillic script, but only the characters that are identical to the Roman alphabet.

Spotted this little beauty yesterday. As a kid, my dad was a salesman for Citroen and would often bring one of these home for the weekend. Without doubt the most comfortable seats ever. Puts many armchairs to shame.

[MrSteve]

Two local spots from here in Lancaster today.

[puddlethumper]

Toot and a wave from this Mini. We jostled positions for a couple of miles.

[puddlethumper]

This was in B&Q car park. 😄 Check that plate out.😆
