In the time it took to walk passed it I went from "what kind of dick would you have to be to drive one of these" to "weeeelll it would be handy for a tip run..."

That Maxi looks to be smaller than the bloody Mini. Bonkers.

Impeccable Granada Ghia and Lexus GS300 seemingly abandoned for a year.

Spotted at the end of my Avenue yesterday afternoon:

 

 

I initially thought this might have been a "cherished" plate, but on refection, perhaps not....Unless the driver owns Stapleton Tyre Services......

[Andrew353w]

I've added this. Although not strictly a picture of a "shite" vehicle, it's from a "shite" road....

This image was originally on the Motor Cycling Club's "News Of The Week" site, so my thanks to them for this.

I was quite surprised to see this smileyface transit on my wanderings today. I used to see it all the time around my old area, and then it disappeared, and lo and behold the same van appears on a backstreet in Barnet, now with a welded plate instead of the entirely disintegrated rear door. It still does a reasonable mileage each year. And is showing as ULEZ compliant, which is curious, because from what I gather this generation of Transit needs modification to meet even the old LEZ. Perhaps said mod causes it to fall under ULEZ?!

(if I had the space, money, and the ability to weld I'd definitely have one of them for the purpose of general usefulness and it being a Proper Van...)

This is further down the road - off the road since 2014, tested in 2021 and a few failures but nothing too drastic?

I've been a very lazy spotter as I've seen all sorts of things but not posted them. Today's beats them all though.

It's a flipping VW Santana! Very popular in China but not so much here. HML suggests 5 taxed, of which this is the one and only 2.0 GX5.

[HillmanImp]

Right, I reckon this is a rare spot but I know some cunt will get it in no time.

I've removed the number plate and badges from the photos. Can anyone tell me what it is? 

 

[Wibble]

Is that an Ora?

[HillmanImp]

Yeah a GWM Ora Funky Cat First Edition. 

Just parked round the corner from my house. 

Interested to see what the rear lights look like. 

[Wibble]

All I could find

What about indicators? They look a little on the small side don't they? Guess a few cars are maybe like that now aren't they? 

[Wibble]

I find so many cars now that are difficult to tell they’re indicating when the lights are on? Have the old regulations for positioning of lights gone out the window?

Thought for a moment whether this was the VW Quantum I spotted at the NEC a few years ago:

Yeah, probably. Like most things car these days its form over function as they just need to sell you the product, not worry about if you kill yourself driving it, theres enough mutton out there to keep the sales coming in.

On the most mundane and boring car, well, ever, virtually, its a stroke of genius

Tree surgeons rocked up yesterday and two of the lads were in these:
Nissan was a bit dinged/dented but the Starlet was lovely

I didn't even know they did the 800 coupes in diesel flavour. Iiiinteresting.

They didn't, it's a conversion. The 825D coupe was on eBay recently, I was really tempted to make an offer but the listing ended before I could get drunk enough.
