@Cavcraft got himself a boat... Then took it to a Polski handwash.

Been for a bike ride today. 

This was at the top of a big hill and I couldn't be fucked getting any closer, hence the telephoto lens. 

And just caught this as it noisily shot off into the distance.

I suspect this is one I've seen around numerous times in years gone by, but never got a shot. Lazy.

Went to Knaresborough today. 

Didn't manage to get photos of a 70s Merc SL or Scimitar Reliant that we saw in Pool in Wharfedale but did catch these:

Old A40

RHD blues mobile. 

Stag with a roof made from an old washing line and donkey jackets. 

Saw this and said to ImpJr 'Lad I know called @trigger owns one of them' 

Walked 10 metres round the corner and saw this and said 'Lad I know called @trigger sold one of these to buy the last car we saw' 

Which oddly was the 2nd Capri I'd seen today as this was down at my local garage when I popped in to get some brake pipes flared in exchange for biscuits.

No pic, but saw a Wedgewood blue spit driving today. With a local HC reg!

Good spot(s) 🤣

No photos as I was driving, but I followed a vintage looking car along the A689 towards Brampton, Cumbria yesterday (2 ish).

I couldn’t overtake to see any badges but it was entirely constructed of bright metal work , ( stainless or chromed?) nothing at all painted.

I don’t know if it was really old or not, as it was quite quick getting to 60 ok. It turned onto the A69 towards Carlisle but I went the other way.

I’m sure someone will know the car, it must be unique. I’d be interested to know what it was.

A few Somerset spots, couldn't stop to get the Capri so nicked a Streetview image. The three campers were all within a few yards of each other.

No photos but also spotted a lovely looking blue Renault 12 on the A303 and a red L plated Volvo 240 Estate which must be a pretty late one.

Aren’t they a big problem around Glastonbury now? Lanes full of people living there permanently all crapping in the hedge.

Tidy old mk1 diesel focus.

Off work this week but haven't got the kids today so I wafted up to tesco for some freezer bits and immediately parked next to this beautiful rolls Royce!

Sadly it was gone when I returned and a citroen c1 was in its place 😢

[EyesWeldedShut]

Wheels are awful but I have no taste…

I wouldn't be surprised, there's a lot of them around and when we went up the Tor, we could see a cluster of them by a roadside in the distance

[Yoss]

Just managed to get my phone out in time to snap this 75 before it pulled away. 

Only to find it had parked in the next road up. 

Serious lacquer peel on the bonnet. The rest looked tidy.

My other half sent me this earlier as she thought I'd appreciate it.  She was southbound on the M3 and stopped at Rownham services. Said it looked in good condition.

I've been trying to find one of those around here for months without any success.
