I do love a Magna, especially a wagon.

Dad had one when I was a kid, I remember “helping” him fit a Kenwood CD player and a pair of 6X9s in the back when I was about 6.

At wookey hole today. The owner says he also has a blue and a black carlssen. And what he says about £20000 worth of spares to keep them going.

Spotted this today. Had a full set if Uniroyal Rainsports all round and give an overall impression of being reasonably well cared for.

Spotted at the end of my road this morning. Full Ghia specification and a (wait for it) cassette unit, which must be in working order, given the loads of cassettes all over the seats! It seems to be a decorator's workhorse.

That'll be @N19's Mondeo. :)

The appearance of a decorators wagon is purely because I closed the tailgate on a spray can a few months ago 😬

It's a wonderful vehicle and was parked there as I'd picked up the Capri to go to FOTU.

If you see the Mondeo or bluebird there, I'm out in the Capri somewhere!

My recent spot is not a car, but a person.

Friday afternoon on a roundabout on the the A421 in Buckingham, daughter says to me “ Is that a Policeman taking pictures  of lorries ? “ “No” says I, “ That’s @quicksilver” !!

It certainly was! I've never been mistaken for a policeman before though :) What car were you in?

Not much about but it got me out of the house for a couple of hours and I did see this transporter of excellent Fordness. Just realised the reg on the Cortina almost says BLOBBY.

I was in my Jag, brown XF going towards Finmere, you’d just snapped a 16 tonner  of some sort ( Merc?) and a Ferrari was just coming towards you..

Didn't notice you but I do vaguely remember seeing a Ferrari.

Here's another good spot from that afternoon. International half-track and a Ford Marmon Herrington 4x4 (which I'd never heard of) on the back. Truck is labelled 'not for hire or reward' so must be privately owned just for moving these around, no doubt off to a show somewhere.

Capri says JBJ. The mind boggles :)

Three amigos parked up together opposite a bus garage in Glasgow.

Maybe blame the light?

 

But this £43k used Range Rover outside the main BMW dealer looked a little Cat-D 🤷🏻‍♂️
