Lazy spotters thread

That mouldy ZX is only a 16v! Definitely worth more enquiring....

[mercrocker]

Looks quite high spec. Wood rim steering wheel (genuine option) and auto. Defo not derv or 1.8t, they all have boot badges so I'd like to think it's a V6.

^^ Shite picture of shite. Love it. We could almost start a new thread for that.

 

Edit: the arrows ^^ would make more sense if it hadn't come out on a new page but you get the idea.

Oh well, I've lost interest now. V6 or nothing with these for me.

My amazingly shit picture doesn't do this justice , it has a 4 tailpipe exhaust system that sounds like a (slow) C63 AMG.

Which is why I love this. I have a friend with one of these. He'd wet himself at the sound of this.

We've been told the yard where I keep my bus is likely to be sold in the next year or so with plans for some sort of retirement village. Yet nobody seems in any hurry to leave, in fact new stuff keeps arriving. Like this.

Battered gold Scorpio in Barnstaple today - never seen it around before.  It looked tidy from the front but there's hardly a straight panel on it and the rear bumper doesn't match -  despite the dents down the passenger side it was fairly clean and there's no obvious rot on it.  These do look quite appealing, getting to be a rare sight now.

 

Just looked up the MOT history, it's been on the road consistently since 2006 but has only done 3,000 miles in that time!  Probably explains why I've not seen it about before.  Rear suspension area rot has been an advisory for years and last year was the longest list yet so there's probably some welding coming up for it.

What a day for spotting shite!! The photos below represent 10% of what i have actually spotted. Today is officially the first day of shite...

 

27 shite points to anyone who can see the bonus Austin 3 Litre lurking in the background of one of the pics. Good luck!

I love the last pic, it looks like it could be the rear cover shot from the brochure.

 

Have one from today

I went for a totally unapologetic cruise out yesterday 

 

.. all along from St Marys to the Gibraltar...... No piccies [kos drivinn] but saw a Manta400 in Blue n White Rothmans (quite funny because the guy inside was actually bobbing up and down enough to loosen his teeth!!) and a pair of Rally Evos, the three looked like they were together.

 

XR4i  silver + rust.

Mooching around West London today. First these two in Harrow.

 

 

 

 

 

But then I saw this from the upstairs front seat of an E2 bus near Brentford.

 

 

So I win today.

 

It's nice to see someone out in their Alvis on a Monday afternoon.

Mint P1800 in Newquay

Check out my amazing stealth like photo skills at photographing this R reg Safrane 2.5 Executive being driving my a elderly couple at Waitroses, it looked really smart in the flesh too.

Picture 11, thanks. Do I get another point for the white Felicia in the Beetle pic?

Can't find my old spotting thread; recent phonespot tat.

Down at the local MOT station, 'Yaz' 'The Only Way Is Up' playing on the radio helped the '80s atmosphere...

Excellent restaurant name, too!

Oh my days! For those that can't tell, this is an early Alfa Sprint.

The pic doesn't really capture the weirdness of this car...

^^What is it, a Cadillac or something?

 

Various south London spots from this week

 

 

 

 

Land Rover evolution

 

 

A couple of modern rarities

 

 

 

The hazard tape is a recent thing on this Fiesta, but his bumper has been in primer for ages.

 

 

Proof that living in London has its benefits. These four were within 20 yards of each other in Penge (which has a rich vein of daily driver chod running through it).

 

This is it's good side, the OS had massive dents on every panel.

 

 

 

Bonus Saab convertible in the background.

 

 

Pogging doesn't just happen to red cars...

 

 

To finish one from France a few months back that I found on my phone. Silver Renners, both with dented wings (although the 19 is worse than mine!)

 

[quicksilver]

The white Yank thing is a Lincoln Mark VIII. Here's another that turned up at the Festival of the Unexceptional last year and turned a few heads and stomachs.

 

 

[spartacus]

It's fucking vile!

[Asimo]

If you have to poo a car, that Lincoln would be the one.

 

*Actually I'd quite like that, but then again,  I like shite cars.

This and your description took me straight back to 1989!

Ultimate lazy spotting. I'm sat on my sofa eating my toast and this came past.

 

Not that old but well beaten, look at the door shut lines. The other side was full of dents too. Obviously ex-RM
