Lazy spotters thread

The Saturn SL2 next to the amazingly yellow Previa (one of my favorites colors for them) was another surprise. I've also seen a really rough mark viii like mine in the same neighborhood. Drivers advised to not stop there since people get shot all the time, for me it was a gold mine lol. The Fleetwood Pace Arrow is one of my favorite old-school RVs as well.

ah better! :) 

but still not the original Hills plates it had previously!, was the previous owner not able to find those in the end? 

Lost them in a move he thinks.  Those plates were £40 at Bromley Pageant 2 weeks ago. There were some nearer the original type, but they were £80+. Too expensive.

I didn’t give these a second glance when new but now, especially when compared to all the current crossover things, I realise just how elegantly designed they were for a family car.

I quite fancy one of these but the recent MOT history on this one is depressing

These are not to my taste but I admire it when a manufacturer dares to do something different.

Another shot from my skip spotting duties, running around Mill Hill this time. Although bearing a "64" registration, I'm almost sure it was a right hand drive one! How odd is that?

If you wanted there wouldn't be anything stopping you grafting the RHD bits from an old one onto it - though you'd loose the PAS and have to either fit an older engine or massively re-engineer the intake (the multipoint intake manifold wants to occupy the same space as the RHD steering box)...and given that RHD steering bits are made of almost pure unobtainium these days, seems odd!

... Though having said that, someone who's willing to have paid for an imported 64 plate Niva is quite likely exactly the sort of person to either pay to have that work done or to attack it as an engineering challenge.
