Thought I was seeing things in Lincoln on Saturday night when I saw the back of this when out on the piss. Thankfully it turned up at Cadwell on Monday and my sanity was restored. Would love to know how you cram a GM V6 into a Matiz.

Bloody hell. That is some achievement. It only just fits between the headlights

Nice pair of Volvos.

The first one is in a student area of Southampton. The second one I snapped while walking the dog. It's in Chilworth where all the houses are well over a million. They were pausing whilst their electric gates opened. You can see the rust above the number plate. This is proper old money. These cars are truly classless aren't they?

The above Volvo went in here.

There are bigger more sprawling places in Chilworth but it still looks like a nice pad.

Someone sure likes his Rovers/MGs.

I approve of the red V6 ZT, low mileage too.

Went to a little Cars & Coffee meet in Cambridge today. Probably the best place for spotting.

My Paseo alongside a friend's pretty clean 2001 Saxo:

Very nice J Reg MR2:

92 Celica. Wonder if its running LPG? 🤔

Sweet Subie.

And to round it off, I coinsidentially ended up parking next to the mighty @Three Speed Scimitar.

And some other modern shite was there but as I'm not too keen on the slammed Volvo C30 and VW Polo scene I didn't bother taking any photos.

Cherwell Valley Services now. I am parked opposite. Would have parked next to it but they were disabled spaces.

Aye that's the one. It had a Hub Nut sticker in the rear window.

This looks like that green Cortina which was posted here a few years ago. Ace.

Not many dodge Darts in the UK. For a reason... Probably us service personnel.

Whilst attempting and failing miserably to get a better view of a Volvo 240:

This was sitting behind:

Probably still worth a million pounds even though it's gubbed.

Copper bottomed shite down the tip today - driven by a mk1 old giffer with a nose like a strawberry.
