Dead_E23 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 US Cop Car looks like a genner-wine '74 Dodge Monaco for maximum Blues Brothers homage. Respect!Better yet, it's an actual genner-wine Bluesmobile - one of 20 from the film, iirc. I spotted it a few weeks ago and posted it on here.

pogweasel Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 WHOOP!Loving the Jake & Elwood spec-ride. Rollin' something like that would be MEGA.Yes the Mazda is a rare-ish one. I find the rear end on the Yank spec ones (which used to be myriad round here) to the UK ones. A neighbour had a UK-spec (red reflecty rear panel) job until a couple of months ago. They have replaced it with a super-future-shite "51" plate Mitsi Galant. ORSUMS.Oh and for the benefit of the cave-dwelling Ritmo (well, what else explains the perpetual missing of cultural/film refernces)... watch AliG indahouse. R-E-S-T-E-C-P!

seth Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 You & Mr Weasel aren't the same person, are you? Unfortunately for me I have been in the same room as both and they appear to be separate individuals. However after Pogs recent comment on R-R that he was an avid Popular Classics buyer I am now suspicious that he is Johnno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 A few more from the capital city... Its taken ages to be in the same place as this Fiat with a camera. I walk past the road it lives on when taking my daughter to nursery. I've seen it being driven by an old couple too. Quite possibly a one owner car. This Safari lives in Hampstead so is no doubt owned by the "typical" Arty/Designer type A non-shite but super worthy spot I thought. This looks like a fully optioned up special edition of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The U11 Bluebird is a Maxima, run-out special edition with – I think – lots of importer/dealer fitted bits. Getting scarce.Love the Fiat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Sooo cool! But where's the rust??? One of my teacher's had a bright yellow estate in the late 80s and it was totalled in quite a bad accident. he and his sons were injured fairly badly but recovered OK. The car was almost unrecognisable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Dragging this up form a couple of months ago. At least it missed the purge This CX is quite local and has a very long wheelbase. Rear leg room would be enough for the Jolly Green Giant! Blue OAP spec Cavalier I only noticed it was occupied after I took the photo. But I then got to watch a superb bit of giffer driving. From the parked position he whacked it on full left lock and reversed so the front right wheel went up on to the curb and he ended up at 90 deg across the road. The went forward with the left wheels going over the corner of the pavement to join the high street. Qual! Very tidy so unusually not really shite Dolly Don't think this counts either though is in a nicely used rather than polished state Was lucky with the timing to get this at all as it shot past while I was waiting to turn right at some lights. And the last one specially for Pog-bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw118 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 That CX is lovely - wasn't the LWB called "prestige" or something?Is that overspray on that 5 series headlights??!!That yank looks like a beastie; anyone know what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
