I have never seen an MG6 or MG3 on the road but yesterday I saw two MG3s in and around Northampton.  Both were driving normally, the drivers did not look stressed from impending Chinese electronics doom and both cars actually looked rather good. No photos 'cos my 'phone doesn't.

Yeah, it does look a bit that way but to be fair the guy who got out of it didn't look 'scene' at all, more like he could be the real thing, if that makes sense.

Iron cross, EMPIs, cabover roof rack and sun visor say different but without all that toss, it'd look fantastic. I particularly like the the unpainted replacement panels - the only correct period mod on it, IMHO.

A few of my lazy spottings. So lazy in fact that some of them were mine at the time. Is looking on your own drive too lazy even for this thread?

Not Shite at all this. '90 or '91 Alpina 850 V12.

This Camry is in daily use and is a minter. Driver happy to natter too. 1987. This isn't shite either.

However, this Corsa IS Shite.

And this caught my eye after I started driving an old Skoda,
FeliciaShite_zpspfjr73wq.jpg

 

There was this Volvo beast,

And this Skoda,

RapidShite_zpszuqgzzno.jpg

 

And this bus, which made me giggle. I thought Keanu Reeves saved the bus, but my mistake.

And this fine bush belongs to my new next door neighbour, who has a Kitten out in the yard but I was too lazy to get out of my car. Must visit this boy once it stops raining. I think it's a hedge full of Reliants and 2CVs.

For good measure here are a couple of my own. The Fiesta is now banger racing. The Favorit is my precioussssssssss.......

Actually, you can have a better one of my £145 fiesta. Ragged it stupid for three months then sold for £30. Bargain. This picture really makes it look good, and you can't smell the interior in a picture.

More to come. I live out in proper banjo-strumming Irish countryside where everyone is related to everyone else. Everyone loves a bit of chod around here.

I should really have taken pictures of other driveways in this street to show how incongruous these two are.

You don't see enough of this sort of thing any more.

This has been on my radar since 2010, when I first got my first 306. It lives round the corner from me and moves ocassionally, I think it's been there since well before 2010 too. Flat cap-wearing giffer-owned, faded paint gem of a car. It's an XLd, and my 306 was an XLdt. :D

 

Those straight XUDs may be slow, but they go on forever!

Also notice the two almost identical Corollas in the background.

What a field of old shite.

That Volvo is nice, but not £3k nice. Especially considering the seller doesn't take good enough care of it to keep an eye on the bloody fuel gauge!

I saw this heap of shit yesterday but didn't have a camera. My other half just spotted it whilst out shopping so I thought I should share it.

To be fair he was on his way to fill it up, it photographs well but it's not mint, plenty of scratches and steel wheels painted with rattle cans straight on to bubbling rust. I'd want perfection in a misery spec 244 at that price.
