Turns out I might be in Morocco! Well is have got a 404, 504 and Renault 4🤣

If you have a MK2 Transit, or a smiley Transit, or a Merc 190E then I can confirm you're definitely in Morocco as there are plenty of them too!

None of the above, that's lucky I was getting worried about where I was!

Lambo Islero.... Which was burning petrol.

I spotted a cracking Peugeot 305 SR saloon earlier near the railway station in Totnes. Unfortunately it was only brief and was gone by the time I had got my camera out. 

Looked to being piloted by an elderly gent.

Beautiful blue colour. I would say it was completely original. The number plates looked to be the correct font. 

A145 MFJ Which is a local to Devon plate. 

Looks to have only done about 2.5k in the last 18 years. Lucky to have seen it out!

Do you know it @carlo?

Yes I've seen that a couple of times, a wonderful sight.  I am hoping to be driving the 405 next time so a headlamp flash might have a bit more meaning!  Love 305s.

Was fortunate to be followed by another 405 up the A38 yesterday, an Aquamarine estate and a rare treat too.  He pulled off at Smithaleigh so might well be local.

It was great to see this tonight when walking the dog:

This one at the French end of The Chunnel today.
Sprog creamed his pants when he saw the picture - says it's a Ferrari F40, rare and expensive. Being a grumpy old giffer, I hated the wheels and the spoiler but if you wanted to gift it to me? (p.s. not sure if this is really Shite but where else does it go on AS?)

Top speed is impressive , 0-100 kph, less so for that kind of car.

It was impressive in 1989.

If I had spend around a million quid on one I don't know if I'd have the balls to take it out amidst all the grumpy giffers at the Chunnel. My wife says she'd would take it out as that's what you should do with such things.
I'll say one thing for it - you could hear it ticking over from 100 feet away - sounded lovely.

[edit] - Google says his 0-140 is 6.5 secs, mine says 17.7 secs - I'm happy with mine

On a bus and one of these passed by, too slow with the camera, then another less yellow one followed.  Both of them in immaculate condition and with Dutch registration.

Later a SAAB 900 Turbo, again in immaculate condition and also Dutch plates, stopped outside my daughter's place of work (funeral directors).

Noticed while wandering along the Seine yesterday. That's the nicest unmessed with breadvan Polo I've seen for a long time.

The ferries are wicked😀We were there on a Tuesday and the only place open for scoff was La Petite Flamme - pretty decent meal at a very good price

I’m at a car drive experience today at Bicester Heritage.

There is a Batman car, a GT40, Aerial Atom. But here I am taking a photo of this behind a fence.

Didn't expect to see one of these on the Shore Rd in Belfast this morning...

It still weirds me out that the front/rear engined versions of that are near totally identical save for them having grafted the nose of a truck externally onto the front of the ones with the engine up front.
