Kennedy's captures - 1st May - Science

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. (I would link the thread, but I'm full of cold today and can't be bothered :lol: )

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!

Still like those - I will get a VR4 one day!

Sorry Pog, you trendy geezer, I just like things you can say! Aretha Franklin never sung R-E-S-T-E-C-P :lol:

You & Mr Weasel aren't the same person, are you? :P

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!

 

:wink:

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 :D

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.

Thats a little cracker, extra shite bonus points for the roof rack and stoved in rear bumper :lol: I had an 'R' plate 128 of that model and colour just over 20 years ago, but one morning in March '87 an old giffer in a W123 Merc went up the back of it when I was stationary and totalled it, the Merc wasn't damaged though....

Dragging this up form a couple of months ago. At least it missed the purge :D

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 :D

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.

It was a shite filled night at the Ace Cafe classic meet last night! Figured I'd stick them in here.

A better one of the Astra as I know it will cause Pogweasel to have an embarrassing accident.
