[Mr Lobster]

Having finally found how to download pictures off my phone, allow me to present some tat spotted over the past few months

Vandalised Nippa outside a church



Polish reg FSO Caro has seen better days....




Nice R5 at Renault World Series



80's street scene re-enacted on M6



Gorgeous R5 GT Turbo raider goes camping



And finally for now, this horror. Not really shite but truly shit. It was a Rover 200 once....

[andrew e]

Are sure that Rover isn't an escaped design proto from Longbridge There seems to be a few FSO caro's on Polski plates circulating at present.

[155V6]

I think that Rover 200 was on Ebay,if it's the same one,it has Alfa 147 grille & lights

[bones96]

[Split_Pin]

Dear lord that Rover deserves to be slated by the Barryboyz Massif!!!

Thing is hate it or not, some serious work has gone into it, lose the chrome RIMZ and paint it a deep solid colour it would look the bollocks.

No it wouldn't!

[Milford Cubicle]

I reckon it'd still look like an Edsel-grilled monstrosity.

I love the pisspoor repair job, still it's not as if the owner's got a rich pool of dead examples in British scrapyards to choose from. Bosh on a mk1 Metro cluster for a decently acceptable bodge-fix.

[Mr Lobster]

Just had a week in Normandy and I am happy to report on the presence of the following shite...

 

 

R18 on market day

 

R11 wearing oversized badge. Must be a fashion thing

 

 

Gorgeous!

 

Mehari waits in town centre

 

Juvaquatre appeared to be in daily use!

 

 

 

Farm next to the Gite we were in had usual collection of shite about. Sadly couldn't get a decent shot of the two very rotten CX's parked just out of shot.

[Mr Lobster]

Whilst we were there, there was a large car show / autojumble at Manoir de L'Automobile in Brittany, went along to rummage for old Renault bits of which there was much.

 

Was also a lot of cars -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then there was the stuff in the museum but you'll have to wait for that!

[pompei]

Is that red cylindical cartoon thing the same as the one captured by M Bolleaux en vacances?

[Mr Lobster]

Think it is yes, some sort of Tour de France thing!

[VWPowered]

its a Renault Galion

 

 

 

nice spots btw loving the rover 200 even the french arnt that sick..actually scratch that

[michiel]

Lovely, one of each s'il-vous plaît... or at least the Juva! GS has a hint of birotor?

[Mr Lobster]

Think the GS was a Birotor come to think about it.

 

Anyway, after having a good wander round the autojumble we moved inside to see the treasures inside the museum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[andrew e]

The red Camion thing needs "Durex - ribbed for her pleasure" period signwriting

[Mr Lobster]

Still a couple more -

 

 

 

 

And then its outside to the classic car display...

[Mr Lobster]

Deep breath and off we go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More, lots more to follow shortly!

[Mr Lobster]

Loheac was also the venue for the 2nd Reunion de Renault 4. There were rather a lot of them -

 

 

This was very sexy, something very nice about it

[Mr Lobster]

[Mash]

Fantastique! What more can I say??!!! A most excellent selection and good clear pics too M. Homard, merci beaucoup I assume R14s are as abundant in France as Allegros are here....

[carlo]

Heaven.Any close ups of the 504 coupe or Panhard Mr Lob?

[Mr Lobster]

Any close ups of the 504 coupe or Panhard Mr Lob?

Don't think I have any of the Panhard but heres a 504

 

 

Meanwhile, back outside...

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Autoshite did holidays...

 

 

Scene R4

 

 

 

 

Final lot along later!

[michiel]

No more 203s please...

[Mr Lobster]

Enough of the shiney stuff, this is Autoshite after all! So what to do in rural Normandy on a rainy Sunday? Have a drive round and photograph shite of course...

 

Behind the local Renault dealer

 

 

R4, Mk2 Fiesta, Trafic and SuperCinq all quietly being consumed by trees

 

 

R11 sits abandoned having presumably donated its wheels to a good cause

 

Peugeot J9

 

Saviem truck

 

But lastly, this horror, formerly a lovely DS until it was tastefully modified
