Lazy spotters thread

[quicksilver]

Took my sister back home to London today. The capital may be shit in many ways but compared with my locality the streets are paved with classics and chod. These are all from a short walk around Hampstead and are by no means everything I saw. Old Mercs seem to survive by the thousands there.

 

1987 Volkswagen Golf Clipper

 

1972 Citroen DS

Currently in Turkey on hols and there is loads of quality shite here,

A daily driver that I see from time to time

These two were both in the same carpark in Newport Pagnell. Both 3.2 MV6 ex-Police cars, one can only hope welded diffs and chopped springs don't feature in their future.

krusty K11

 

Giffer Carina with shite wheeltrums and BNP stickers all over the dash

 

Epically rusty vanshite, washed with a brillo pad by the looks

Small bus show today at Heath Common, Wakefield today. Few cars but they were the same as the ones as we're out last week.

 

Didn't really take any pics

 

If I had to own a bus it would have to be a Leyland Atlantean just like this but with its full roof

 

This just looked nice and made me think where did actual design in stuff go

 

 

Didn't know even Daimler buses had the special grill thing

 

And I think this is the first one I've ever seen. Or its that nondescript that I've never noticed them

A couple from the recent Le Mans, the Thunderbird appeared at the private house we camp at, not my cup of tea but good to see.

 

 

 

The Merc was in the campsite at the Porsche Curves and was more me....

cheeky red Micra spotted earlier, bonus it was wearing Vauxhall and Mitsi wheel trims

Look at this stunner* spotted by Mrs_LabRat. Comes complete with comedy spacesaver spare on the rear and woodscrews holding the bumper together... Fookin glorious!

Great plates on that Irish Cavalier.  I'll never tire of seeing the old style red rear plates.

Few and far between now but that makes finding them more exciting. My Mk1 Fiesta has its original red plates as does my Mk2 18/85, everything else is on an EU plate 

 

Anyway, an abandoned 440. Sorry for the portrait pic but I took this from the road so cropped it as best I could 

 

[fordperv]

Went to see mrs fordperv's nan at the hospital and was greeted with carpark shite

 

 

 

 

Shite spotted on the road

 

[Duke O Smiley]

Just one from today

 

 

 

I should add that these photos were taken from a Corolla estate also. I missed the turn off for Aldi chasing this and made my girlfriend take the pics (hence the dubious quality) and she wasn't best pleased when I asked if we could turn into the builders providers it had pulled into for better photos of the two cars so I didn't pester. 

 

I have a bit of a thing for the e11 Corolla in case anyone is wondering

 

 

[The Moog]

Malta certainly is shite capital of world.

 

Saw a Ferrari 400 earlier but no Pic.

 

 

What parking

[Duke O Smiley]

A few sightings. The 123 is a 300d, it and the Escort are daily runners around the locale. The T25 was on German plates and had an air of "my owner lives in me", and the 131 Mary Foley was four up with driver and passengers and we still struggled to keep up

 

 

 

 

 

[The Moog]

Missus Moog took the photos

[flat4alfa]

A fella nearby has bought this 1958 Buick Special.

 

We might be taking this to the Harpenden Show next Wednesday

 

Talking of which, who's going?

 

[flat4alfa]

Saw a Soarer in Jaywick

 

 

 

Austin A35 and Consul MkII also at Jaywick

 

 

 

A Nuffield 4/65 near Clacton

 

 

 

A Herald 1200 outside Peterborough

 

 

 

I didn't know these new Twingos were rear engined.  Pretty obvious when you look at it

 

 

 

A Carver by the bins near Radlett

 

[flat4alfa]

Land Rovers

 

 

A wealthy-looking professional in a suit drove off in this growly V8 Defender 130"

 

 

 

This muddy modified 90 lives nearby.  It varies between muddy or very muddy.

 

 

 

This MOT-exempt 86" parked by a pub at Totternhoe

 

[Duke O Smiley]

A few I've been meaning to get off the SD card

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Porches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[The Moog]

Nice to see commercials doing what thy should

 

 

Missed out on the ital van with blingy wheels.

 

[Skizzer]

Missus Moog took the photos IMG_20150716_124550545.jpgIMG_20150716_124619162.jpg

 

Just to prove that every rule has an exception, a brown Ferrari 400 is a Ferrari I could like. 

[Asimo]

Concur about the Ferrari 400, especially if automatic. The less that Ferrari folk like them, the more I do. 

 

 

These are also sneered at by Ferrari bores.

It was parked in my garden for a couple of days while posh neighbours had a big party and ran out of guest parking. 'Twould look perfect in monkey-poo brown.

[The Moog]

Thought there might be some love on here for the 400i Auto.

 

Be like the cool kids in their 306 cabs or 406 coupés

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

I like the 400i in any colour - it's the shape. I also like the Testarossa, but I'm not sure I'd like to own one.
