C6 in the wild.

CLK dash claiming a half decent mpg too 👍

Very rare on a Weegie reg. number!

Love a Primera, but this one is out of test since 2011 and very crispy looking.

Tell me about it - my dad had the saloon version and managed to get three teenage kids (and a pressure cooker) squished into the back seat for a fun* family holiday

Some Belgian LEZ (Ghent) spots:

Not so much a lazy spot but we did go to the Mahymobiles place near Lille  - had the place to ourselves too - lovely pile of old cars. Worth a couple of hours (and the 15€ entry)
Spotted two cars that I always fancied as a twenty-something one was a TR7 Drophead (no photo) and this wee thing (I did own a 5GTX with the 1.7 n/a pezz but one of these would have been great)

Yup - October, week in a farm cottage near Biggar. Cold, damp, wet (so was the weather). It was the only family trip we made in that car (I wonder why).
He then got a cut down Dolomite (Toledo :-)) which was a much better car. We went many places in that one.

I see chod most days getting off the boat.

 

This poor bastard didn't even make it off under his own power. He was getting towed by an MGTF.

So I've just seen a load of them gathering at the petrol station. 

 

He left under his own power.

Some more local to me.

Dutch 2cv with boot bustle on the M4 past Reading just now

Locally registered C15 in Bleu Celeste with optional side windows.

Final continental stuff from Bruges.

Oh, hullo...

This Fiesta vanished from its long-term driveway three years ago and I thought it was gone for good; however it's now back again with a fresh MOT and looks slightly less crispy than when I last saw it (though the headlights appear a bit bleary still).

2022:

Does appear to be an original RS Turbo, not a replica.

Hopefully it'll actually see the road now!

Not something you see every day.

Random stuff spotted vaguely recently.

This is all sorts of wonderful...

[Joey spud]

I've walked past these for years and once or twice I've had the urge to knock on the 3 wheeled mini owners door to ask if he wants to sell it. I mean there's even a handy pallet truck to drag it home on.

My Hound is more interested in the pick up.

A silver Citroen GSA by the look of it (emerges from the left of the hedge/tall street light in the distance).

Lada 1600 earning its keep by ferrying market produce. Owner was confused why three of us are staring in awe. 😄
