Lazy spotters thread

[bogeyhead]

Spotted in a Dover car park on Tuesday an Austin Healey 3000. LHD with German plates. Very nice condition.

[bogeyhead]

Hmmm that didn't happen quite right.

[High Jetter]

Hmmm, Mk 1 or 2?

I am not a Healey expert , but I suspect it is a Mk2 due to the proper side windows.

Not every day you spot a 125P in the Homebase car park!  Reckon there must be single figures of these left in the UK now. Minty as well. 

Yes, I did get so excited that I put my finger over the lens...

OMF3G7!!! I've died and gone to heaven! A REAL proper FSO; right hand drive, not a personal import and in good condition! Oh, and I'm loving that "70s orange"

Thanks for sharing!

Even still had the original dealer sticker in the back window - looks to have been bought new in Hatfield, Herts (not far from where I spotted it).

Hello again old friend.  

Some other entries from the car park relevant to this thread probably too.

Papped in Dover yesterday.

With open pipes how fecking cool/loud is this.

Looking at the wear on the rear tyre I don't think the owner tilts it over in the bends though.

Come to Fife for a sunny Saturday afternoon dauner, cos it's 90s day, all day, every day. Of every week. Of every month. Until further notice.

There was an OAP polishing convention at the local Moss this morning when I was picking up some shizzle from Toolstation, so I wandered over for a look. 

The far end was the most interesting by far. 

However that all pales into insignificance compared to my drive down to Shipley just now. 

As I pulled out of a junction, I saw something boxier than normal out of the corner of my eye. 

I looked in my rear view mirror, is that a Suzuki SJ? No, dont think it is, what is it? 

Hold on IS THAT A MUTHA FUCKIN RICKMAN RANGER. 

I do believe it is. Apologies for the shite photo and I know I shouldn't be using my phone when driving but it was a fucking Rickman Ranger. 

Imagine if I'd crashed? 

"How did the accident happen?" 

"I was using my phone" 

"Thats illegal son, you're for it" 

"But there was a Rickman Ranger behind me" 

"I mean, that maybe would be pretty incredible but come on, no there wasn't" 

"There was really... heres a ph.." 

"Don't lie to me son, In the back of the car, I'm also arresting you under suspicion of driving under the influence" 

[Captain Mainwaring]

Pretty sure I've seen that too, I was similarly elated.

[Captain Mainwaring]

A couple of underwhelming ones from me here.

[Captain Mainwaring]

That last one is particularly shit...

What the actual hell?  

Excuse the phone zoomed photo...I didn't want to get close enough to investigate in more detail...

What the fk is this steamin up the outside, I was doing 80ish

A bit fast like

Nothing gets away from the mighty Micra ...

I'll have ya !

Immaculate but smoky when backing off , also when he indicated left he went right and vice versa , I nearly had him once ,I thought he was coming right round on me on the roundabout. Thought about trying to let him know but he probably thought who's this nutter in the Micra 😬

[mitsisigma01]

And back down to earth ...

Bentley R Type. 4.6l straight 6, apparently good for the ton and a bit more.  What a spot though. 

[Yoss]

On the dog walk yesterday. 

Then found this one less than a hundred yards further on. 

And this levitating 300C which hasn't moved in the 18 months we've had the dog.
