Lazy spotters thread

Now, where did I get up to yesterday?

 

This car lives across the road from me. Its absolutely lovely. Not managed to chat to the owner yet.

 

More modern 3 series. This was an 318is. Was not aware of this model in this shape. Apparently its not as good as the E30.

 

These next ones were all in Sainsburys car park. when I saw the 2nd Lolvo, I thought it must've been the same one that I had seen the day before but the lack of lacquer peel sugfested it wasn't.

 

Saw this at the top of the M62 when I was heading to Wales to go mountain biking.

 

And I saw this in Wales. There was a rally on there and saw a few Escorts knocking about but this was the only photo I got.

[HillmanImp]

These two are next to each other in the middle of Baildon.The Mini hasn't moved in a while.

 

Homebase car park.

 

This was a right spot. The driver looked right pissed off sat there as the traffic was gridlocked just before christmas so I whimped out of getting any other photos.

 

These were all in Hebden Bridge but up the hill so are not going to have been swept away in the floods.

[HillmanImp]

This was also in Hebden Bridge I think. It was next to the Co-op so may well have git caught up in it if it wasn't moved.

 

Not sure where this was.

 

This was an odd find. I was in Otley and saw what I thought was a Porsche 914 on some ramps in a garage in the distance, so I walk down the road to investigate and it turns out it was my imagination playing tricks on me as it was an old 4x4 with a bumper with the lights on it, not a Porsche. However in the yard next to the garage was a Porsche 914. I AM SEPTIC PEG.

 

This was ourside Screwfix. Not sure if I have seen it before.

 

Living around Bradford, you may have noticed there seems to be a lot of old Mercs smoking about. Here is another.

 

This was driving through the middle of Bradford.

[HillmanImp]

This is the last lot I think.

 

This was on the Leeds ring road. Looked like a daily driver too.

 

Was at Tesco getting my lunch and took a different route back and bumped into my old Shaguar. I knew Volksy had moved back up to Leeds but didn't know where so it was a cool surprise.

Please excuse my wonky number plate.

 

I will get a proper soot of this Subaru soon. I see it in motion all the time. I actually saw it parked up the other week but was so hungover I couldn't bear stopping to take photos which I am kicking myself for.

 

These have got to be getting rarer now.

 

At an office round the corner from work

 

Was driving the Rover through Kirkstall and was surprised to see an even shitter car ahead.

 

When I uploaded thus on the Autoshite facebook oage a lad said it used to belong to him but i am not sure who he is on here (if he even comes on here).

 

And talk about ending on a low.....

It goes by the name of 'Eugenie', nice fella well-known in 'Crab circles.  He's had it a good few years and also restored a Morris 1800 recently

 

Amongst others, you can see it annually at Tatton

Spotted in Canterbury yesterday,this hasn't moved for at least a couple of years,could be more.

 

 

 

[Coprolalia]

The English Riviera and Torbaydos fail to disappoint.

 

Hospital management treat themselves... twats.

 

UMM! The owner used to have a LR forward control, but that must have been too reliable.

 

 

Tasty little Trump. Think this is owned by a student.

 

 

SYNCRO!

This in Sainsbury's car park at the weekend...

 

[spartacus]

And this, just now in B and Q Chez Vegas. I've seen it before, it looks really clean, original looking interior etc.

I don't know what this was. Shit photo I know but its all I could get as we drove past it.

Rear end/tail lights made it look yank, but I've no idea - anyone?

1960-63 Ford Ranchero, based on the Falcon.

[dave21478]

Im watching the remake of Battlestar Galactica on the internets and spotted this.

 

Is pretty common to see a DS in scifi stuff being passed off as mega futuristic.

Apologies for the shonky pic, just spotted this in Chez Vegas.

[spartacus]

Another gem in Chez Vegas, I have to stop myself from polishing this...

 

[spartacus]

And this on the motorway just now, what happened to them, they used to be everywhere...

Lacquer Peel told me there was a shonky Dolomite near the hotel I was staying in this week. He wasn't wrong.

 

 

[MiniMort]

I also done saw a Lada Niva and a Lincoln Town Car but it seems that they're gone before I can even get my camera switched on! Oh well, here you go!

[Split_Pin]

This just pulled up outside my folks house when I was fitting wiper blades to my dad's car. Citroen CX and its a late one! 284,000 miles with an MOT hostory that will no doubt be familiar to other old xitroen owners!

[Ratdat]

Saw this today. Better than another half arsed OFAH clone aye.. Dig the racing windows...

 

[noseypoke]

Well this guy's a hero. Seems to use the Rover as a daily but I didn't know til yesterday he had that marina too..

 

Near Aberdeen.

 

An a COP one at that,  eeaw   eeaw

Spotted today, it was snowing so lazy pic.

Some shite spotted whilst out yesterday:

 

Is it because I'm now a Kia owner but these are suddenly starting to really appeal to me. Especially as I've heard the V6 engines sound pretty good:

A rather nice Mini at Sainsbury's. Window sticker read 'BMW Mini my arse!':

1989 Austin Mini by Tom Ellis, on Flickr

 

These must be heading into pure shite territory fast. Scary to think these could have been badged as a Rover:

2005 Proton Gen-2 1.6i GSX CamPro by Tom Ellis, on Flickr

2 for 1 deal in Brockley SE London.

 

This Metro GTi is near Rochester and had a bit of paper on the window saying ''not for sale'' (grumpy fuckers).

 

This had wet itself on the A2 @ Gravesend..

[trigger]

A few recent spots to share.

 

 

 

The owner of this bought it years about for £150 and been running it into the ground since.

 

 

 

And the main reason for this post is this excellent 1985 council estate spec Allegro seen at Tesco today.

[Pillock]

 

That makes up for missing a J-reg Proton on exactly the same bit of road an hour earlier. I thought I'd got it, just looked at the photo and I've got a really crisp picture of a 63-plate Focus that pulled into the lane behind it. Anyway. That Sierra is PERFECT, and straight out of the brochures in the era that I was pestering dealers for them. 

 

 

Also, this was beautiful to behold but again my camera proved it's worth(lessness). It had a side exit exhaust and took off with a modicum of speed and a LOT of noise from the lights.

 

 

Other stuff I've seen recently

 

 

This was in barefoot's neck of the woods when we went for a bit of a Munzee walk last weekend. I sadly missed the Porsche 928 in full Gulf colours that passed me though.

 

This had some sticker that seemed to suggest there's an R8-only specialist somewhere near here. That's a specialist specialist.
