Chod Bothering & shite spottings. Annual update complete!

[eddyramrod]

Pretty sure it's a Chrysler. It's immaculate, no rust anywhere, even arches and sills. Lovely bright chrome trim everywhere.

Beautiful dark blue crushed velour interior too.

He saved it from being Banger raced. He's just saved a Cadillac Fleetwood from the oval too.

I think it's pretty safe to assume Dan and I would leap on that Chrysler and cherish it!

Oh yes, but we'd have to take the Fleetwood too. Can't split them up now can we!

Why would anyone race that Chrysler if it's so nice!? Such a waste.

You and I really really need a warehouse.....

It's ok chaps, they're in good hands. I'll ask him if I can get some photos for you.

He really really should be on here! And yes, pics please.

 

You and I really really need a warehouse.....

Funny you should say that.

I've been looking at a couple, works been pissing me off badly again recently and I'm thinking about getting somewhere and bringing some cars over to sell on. Probably have to stay in my normal job for a while and see how this new idea works in spare time.

[inconsistant]

Some recently bothered chods all papped in the last week. Quite pleased with this lot:

 

Same friend who has the Dodge Diplomat, Cadillac Fleetwood and the Granada Limos also has this:

 

 

 

Spotted this nice proper Ovlov at work, looking lovely as long as you ignore the Halfordztrimzyo:

 

 

 

Saw this coming from about half a mile away and managed to pap the fly past:

 

 

 

Bloke who did some work on my 924 had this parked around the back of his unit:

 

 

 

Spotted in the rural countryside, with a Rover 75 and 45 parked in the front garden also:

 

 

 

SE London, on a boozy late night walk to the station I spotted this:

 

 

And next to it was this. Assuming it's a real one there can't be too many of these about:

 

[danthecapriman]

Oh my! That blue Volvo 244 is lovely. I'd love another one of them, I miss my old one.

[inconsistant]

Mini update... walked past this Transit on the way to the station, it was outside a house that was being extensioned and was being used by an actual builder as an actual builders van.

 

 

Got to the station and whats this little beauty hiding amongst the monochrome status mobiles? Yum!

 

[Supernaut]

Then you also get a tidy-looking E34 5-series in there too! Nice.

 

That transit is wonderful though.

[inconsistant]

Oh yeah... collateral bothering! I hadn't even properly registered what it was.

[danthecapriman]

Love the Transit, what a great looking van and great that it's in use still too.

 

I'm 99% sure it belongs to DodgeRover on here...

[adw1977]

That Transit lives about half a mile away from me.

I've been papped! Did you spot the angry duck on the dash?

Causes much amusement on site as nobody stops to take photos of the shiny new mk8 that's usually lurking behind it

[DodgeRover]

Pretty sure I've seen one of those long Granny's about local to where I've been working, nice to see one being used.

[inconsistant]

Yes, that was me that commented on the van. Obviously neither of us recognised the top secret Autoshite coded greeting.

Didn't spot Angryducky but did clock the CB aerial, 80s front air dam and the serck plates though.

 

The Long Granadas (there's 2 of them almost identical) belong to friends of ours, see previous page on this thread for more.

Nice pictures.  How many people did you get on the 924 stand saying "it's got a van engine, you know"

[inconsistant]

Only the one.
