Who'd make a joke out of a disastra?

It looked slightly abandoned - if so probably only recently, but it certainly caught my eye.

Not very often I feel the need to turn around, park up and get out to take pics but blimey look at this lot parked on a main road in Walsall, some literally in the middle of the road..

This is @HMClevels of dedication. Spotted near Grasmere.

Note the size difference next to the "sub compact" Moka.

This came up in my YT feed. I did not see the Seven in it through. The cars take a fair bit of punishment.

Decent looking Berlingo Partner (other than that giffer corner)

And this - very tidy looking thing

Certainly be a V8 not a V12.

[CreepingJesus]

Presumably V8 SVT was already taken/too expensive. Cos it could apply to Mustangs as well, so it's not the smallest pool of buyers.

Unless in a surprise turn of events, it's got a BMW/Merc/Jag V12 in it, or a Rolls Royce Merlin...🤣

Ah, I see that mrs stinkwheel has been spotted again, the 306 is the Maestro's replacement. Its just had some stuff for an MOT but it is remarkably solid (including the inner rear arch/C-post being as new)

That's a chap called Anthony Barrett, He's on YouTube and seems to be a proper madman who is currently building a life-size FAB1 on a Bedford VAL coach chassis at the side of that road!

Best bit is the guy squatting in the middle of the road with an angle grinder cutting the chassis while traffic whizzes by inches behind him. Health and safety? Never heard of it.

Not a lazy spotter (I've spent basically the whole day walking around) but have a select few off of my phone in Rome. Less than there was in 2019, obviously, but still good. 

[urpert]

Lovely 305, upside down of course:

 

[Schaefft]

Here's an interesting one. This 2008 Vectra C (must be a really late one?) might have replaced the very late E39 530d as oldest taxi in Newcastle. What's strange about it is that it's a 1.8 petrol instead of a diesel (I assume due to the emissions zone) and that it's mot expired in summer, which you'd expect to be a problem? Still fairly low mileage so only recently pressed into service.

This was. In the garage next door to work on Thursday, note strategic half a brick instead of a handbrake

FSO Polonez spotted in the centre of Glasgow. I couldn't believe my eyes! It drove past at the end of the street and I subsequently gave chase, fumbling to get my phone out only to achieve this utterly shambolic shot as it drove away. 😅

 

I could have sworn it had the plate H10 FSO, but that doesn't appear to be on the MOT/tax database so I must be misremembering.

[500tops]

Once again, no pics. But Thursday Ispotted two MK5  Tinas within 2 hours of each other. 

One was a dark blue estate with seemingly no front bumper and spotlanps, in and around Helston. The 2nd was a gold high spec Saloon on the bridge going west at Bodmin parkway.

Is there a Cortina do down West Cornwall or was it pure coincidence?!
