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

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...

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?

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

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.

Spotted on the A1 near Catterick last Friday.

Given the choice of spending March 14th with my wife on her knees... Or looking at this...

 

...I'd soon be starting up a profile on Plenty of Fish.

 

"Interests: lovingly preserved Citroen motor cars"

 

I imagine I'd be fighting them off with a shitty stick.

Just spotted in Chez Vegas B&Q car park. I worked for a Ford dealer when this would have been new, I never knew there was an estate version of this model.

 

[panhard65]

Had a few days in Italy last week. Lots of Fiat 500's still about and the little Piaggio Apes. There were also a lot of dumped cars but as we were on the train doing 250kph no pictures of them.

There were a lot of heavily armed soldiers around all the main tourist areas and the vehicle of choice was these Iveco's with a few Land Rover 90's as well

I do like these little Lancia's but running a fleet of French cars is risky enough.

This was in the lobby of our hotel and I have forgotten already what it was. Anyway that was Rome next up Florence.

And that;s about it. There isn't much chod left on the streets of Rome probably due to the standard of driving. Overall north west France is a far better chod spotting destination.
