Lazy spotters thread

These beauties were across from the cruise terminal I boarded:

The Pulsars are quite common here - some of them have snazzy chrome grilles with vertical bars! 

[Lankytim]

Parked up in Barrow at the weekend. These are all apparently owned by the same guy who sounds like a bit of a Shiter. He leaves them parked until they get ticketed by the council and then moves them to a different street where they eventually get ticketed again and the game of musical shite carries on forever. 
 

I’d love to own that Marina estate. It’s a Mk3 in the right colour and 28 days younger than me. Lush!

Time warp bi-planed jelly mould hiding behind a BMW specialist.....

Was for sale but no price on the little card in the window 😐

Two cylinder!

What is the Landrover lookalike? I presume it’s called an Ibex but I’ve never heard of them.

Ibex appear to be a British low volume off road manufacturer (they even have a web site!). I think I have seen that very car about, can't be too many Ibex in the Stoke adjacent area!

Another spot from my brother.

Always nice to see an old car being used

[Captain Mainwaring]

Retired LT horsebox. Used to see it on the road occasionally and it looked shonky then. I've driven past this spot loads and assumed they were using it as a shed of some kind, but on closer inspection it seems to have just been put out to pasture.

Own up, which one of you is this? Islington, yesterday. Cherokee and Bluebird. Both clearly in regular use.

[Wack]

Dropped on a car show in Seville , thought they were fiat 500s but no Seat 600s with a few Abarth versions 

As we were leaving a mini turned up , didn't get the memo

Middle of nowhere this afternoon, in between nasty showers:

L200 in its natural environment. No idea who it belongs to - not seen it around before. MOT check suggests it was off the road/farm hack maybe for 15 years - currently on 78K. Nowt to do with the silver Landie - just co-incidence.

I thought somebody was being a hero, this was in Central London, near Swiss Cottage, but then I thought it might actually be old enough to be exempt from everything. 

And turns out it is! It became exempt in June so the proud owner can smoke around in it as much he likes. This has to be a perfect daily driver in London now.

Driving back through the middle of nowhere looking for a cash machine I pulled over rather spontaneously after spotting one only to find this! There's even a Safrane in there!

[Captain Mainwaring]

Grateful for your efforts of photographing that magnificent selection of shite, despite the apparent risk of getting axe murdered.

I was thinking that. I certainly wouldn't stop to use a cash machine there! 

[AnthonyG]

Sadly no pics as the driver and passenger were still in it, but saw the first Autoshite spec Tesla today, Model 3 doom blue metallic, 20 plate with very, very squeaky brakes indeed, best and most shiteworthy bit was a dented passenger door, short of straightened out a bit and then repainted with a vaguely matching shade in a very half-arsed way like a student might do with their £200 Fiesta. 

I suspect someone, either the current owner, or the company that pays for it, will be getting a bit of a surprise when that goes back at the end of the PCP/lease…

I might go back in daylight tomorrow to have a closer look and take some better photos.

Also spotted today, this GTO:

Interesting spec Landy tho.

There's one or two farmers' late model LWB Defenders knocking around here that are a bit different - that one, another silver in a crew cab configuration with open back and another crew cab in metallic burgundy with canvas/hoops on the back (dealer supplied). The last one is owned by a family who continue to run another two 90" models.
Completely outnumbered by the Jap type pickups but the LR owners seem to cherish/own outright whereas most of the pickups now are on three year leases. Older ones like the L200 are not so common but I think that may belong to a guy that is a true Autoshiter and has a moveable feast  of three or four pickups/4x4s on the go at any one time.

[puddlethumper]

Spotted this Airstream. Shit number plate.

[Schaefft]

I've returned during daylight and took more photos. The Safrane has been off the road for 15 years. The Laguna is a V6 and has been off the road for 13.

There used to be one of those  in Broxburn that appeared each summer.

[Captain Mainwaring]

Looks decidedly less axe murdery during the day. I bet most of those are well beyond redemption now, especially that R18. I'm sure there must be a good reason why people amass old chod like this and leave them to rot. I'm reminded of that fascinating 'Field of Dreams' place up in Scotland.

Ta for going back, great spot!
