Croydonshire earlier. Quite a surprise considering ULEZ, innit...

 

 

Just pay the £12.50 exception fee. That way all the pollution has magically disappeared.😁

I'm bloody glad I didn't just assume you can do that in the zones outside London.  I very nearly drove into the middle of Aberdeen when visiting a friend up there - nope, it's a £60 penalty charge in that zone if you stray in with a non compliant vehicle.  As I need to deal with the London one relatively regularly given it includes Heathrow, I'd figured they would all work similarly.  Glad I checked!

Haven't seen a single one of these there before but I did see a Porsche 944 every time I walked along there.

Did 450 miles today and this is pretty much it - A14/A1 services.
Not a lot of other Shite spotted - too many Audi/VW/Merc/BMW in the way

Bit if a photo dump from a cycling trip to France a few weeks ago. Le chod spotting was fairly disappointing on the whole, there are a lot of R4 and 2CVs, which are probably like MGBs over here but there wasn't much else out on the roads day to day inbetween Nantes and Tours. 

Still got a fair few spots but it it was few and far between. 

The body on this was in good shape for the age. 

Check the badge on this:

And a final spot for those with good eyes at the train station on the way back to the airport.

Spotted this earlier. Quite a surprise. Weirdly I spotted a TR7 in the least week too having not seen one in ages.

I appear to have accidentally time travelled back to 2002...

Is it just me that thinks pulling a trailer with a car on without anything on the back of that flatbed seems sketchy?  

Granted I've only driven one beaver tail, but that was sketchy enough even in a straight line on a perfectly dry road without a car on the back.  I'd shudder to think what it would have been like with a tonne and a half of trailer pushing the tail end around.

This 309 is in daily use around here.

Are not blue lights fitted to a non-emergency vehicle illegal? 😆

When was the last time you saw one of these on the road. Spotted at a garden centre in the Forest today. 

I still find it hard to believe they sold any of these. 

I should just point out it's an Aston Martin Cygnet, not a Toyota IQ, the badges haven't come out as clearly as I hoped. 

Taking up two spaces too, they must have thought they were in their other Aston.
