Kennedy's captures - 1st May - Science

[michiel]

Wow - Traction plz!

[Gompo]

That is quite an eclectic mix, thanks for the effort.

[barrett]

The Fiat camper is superb! The interior is how I would like my house to look. Escort and Z also look bloody great in black. Cheers Seth!

[Quintus]

I love the Rolls-Royce Camargue. Always fancied one. Very popular with Saudi Princes and Bernard Manning.

[seth]

As ever a particularly special spot has nudged me into uploading the most recent phone cam collection. More of that at the end though.

 

Went to Camden Market for the first time in a while a few weeks ago. Resulted in a couple of "scene" vans and an excellent Peugeot/Porsche combo that were parked opposite each other.

 

 

 

 

 

This lives near my mum. Not sure if I've "spotted" it before though.

 

 

A couple from out and about.

 

 

 

Triple JDM y0! surely not a coincidence even if they were in a Tesco car park.

 

 

I see you there.

 

 

But here we have the motherload.

 

 

Only a frickin' Montreal out in the wild!

 

 

[pogweasel]

Personally, I think the T-reg 305 avec biffed door is the real mega-spot here.

[brammy777]

Is that Porsche near Belsize Park station? That 305 is bloody ace, great find. Must be so rare to see Montreals out on the roads, great spot.

[barrett]

Yeh, I wasn't sure you would be able to beat a 305....and you didn't. Sorry, never been a fan of Montreals, and i've seen more of them on the road then I have 305s.... ps, Pog, your sig is borked

[seth]

Ah, well I would have expected that 305 to have been spotted by the management before on one of their bike ride tours of North London. Brammy, yes down the end of a side street near Belsize Park.Don't think I've ever seen a Montreal on the street though.

[dollywobbler]

Well I'm impressed! (and not just by the 305)

[brammy777]

Ah thought I recognised it! Saw it a couple of months ago, havent posted the picture though as I reckoned someone else would see it.

[michiel]

A sunroof... but great spot(s)!

[seth]

Just a couple more. This is the place I went to last week to get tyres for the Hillman

 

 

 

Saw this on the way there.

 

 

Haven't seen one of these Accords for years! Black plates would indicate an owner who kinda cares about the car even if they are a bit misguided

 

 

Last night a I popped across to the Ace Cafe for some VAG. Hadn't been to one of those meets before and not really my scene but I fancied getting out of the house for a bit. Some non VAG in attendance too.

 

 

 

There was a mint, bone stock Mk1 Golf in the car park. Not even a GTI. Didn't get a photo though. I'd left my memory card at home so walked around carrying my big camera while taking photos with my phone Only felt alot stupid...

[Minimad5]

Great pictures That Mk1 Fiesta is nice - Yum

[55bloke]

There's a red one of those Beetle convertables lives not far from me - posted a pic of it a while ago. Must be some sort of kit?

 

Oh, and when you said you'd popped over to The Ace cafe for some VAG, an entirely different image popped into my head!

great pics seth..

this one speaks volumes to me, as its the way i am, cruise down road, what to fuck was that, screaaatttttttch, jump out bolt across roads afew pics, run back, drive off with mucho satisfaction of pics of said spot... sometimes i think this is even better than ever owning the spot in the first place

[seth]

Its been a good month or so for spotting. Partly it must be warmer drier weather but also it means its daylight so much more of the time so the phone cam can cope...

 

A non-car image to start.

 

 

These next two were almost opposite each other, seen when I was out taking photos of the Hillman a few weeks ago.

 

 

 

A bargain at the Enfield Pageant.

 

 

Local spots.

 

 

 

 

Modern. But a Lancia

 

 

 

 

I've spotted the Dolly before but the Fiat joined it a couple of months ago.

 

 

 

 

 

I've seen a couple of XM estates recently.

 

 

Proper stripped out, roll caged racer near a local seems to have arrived where there's often an Italian or two.

 

 

 

Still not quite sure if they're connected to this place.

 

 

This just for Pete_M

 

 

The remainder are from the M40, homebound last Sunday afternoon.

[michiel]

Great spots, nice Seize sequence!

[Angrydicky]

Bloody hell, is that a Renault 16?

 

Top spots!

[seth]

I'm not sure this update will compare with M'Leylands but its been too long since I emptied my phone of sightings, or should that be shite-ings.

 

A VW Golf owner.

 

 

My local ZX

 

 

 

This is the farmhouse of the campsite we stayed at for the Festival of Speed. Owner is a bit of a Ford freak.

 

 

He's got a Mk1 Capri he bought new and an Escort ticked away somewhere too.

 

 

Spotted while picking up an Ebay haul for someone.

 

 

The haul itself came from this house.

 

 

 

 

 

ALL UR DIRTY WINDOWZ R BELONG TO MY XR2

 

 

 

 

I've decided to start compiling a collection of photos titled "Silver" Here's my first two.

 

 

 

 

You know how rubbish cameras/phones have a massive time delay from pressing the shutter...

 

 

Fortunately I had time for a second attempt.

 

 

 

 

An old garage - For SL?

 

 

Yee ha!

 

 

 

 

Spot the small spot

 

 

 

 

The next lot are from our longer break down south around the time of the Goodwood Vintage festival.

 

 

 

 

 

We had a bike ride to and around the Witterings

 

 

I love this

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two in CHichester itself

 

 

 

More to come at some point...

GR8 4 DRIFTING AE86 CR4P @ PHOTO THO

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nova sported quality parcel shelf accouterments.

 

 

I think I'd nominate this for the oft discussed AS calender

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This caught me by surprise in Holborn.

 

 

As did this!

 

 

Great to see this early Mini still taxed and parked on the street with totally smashed tailight. Must be about 5 years since I first saw it.

 

 

 

 

 

Staggered height VWs

 

 

This was the mega OMG spot that I dragged the family through a dodgy estate in Euston for.

 

 

Very tidy unmolested 205 shopping at Brent Cross

 

 

Fairly sure I've photographed this giffer spec Astra (with liberal application of gaffer tape) before.

 

 

And this was todays mega spot. Well worth my last minute decision to dash into Sainsburys for fuel. I think I got its good side. As the bloke drove it away I could see most of the rear door bottom on the other side was missing.

 

 

That's the lot!

[trigger]

GR8 SPOTTAGE SETH!

 

There are some real gems down your way!, That Talbot/Chrysler must be very late on a W plate and the Fiat is lovely!

[michiel]

Excellent work!

 

 

Is that what they mean on the tv when they discuss a 'Stag party'?

[brammy777]

Well done for some great spots, weird how both the London updates had two Talbot Avengers! Amazing. That Fiat is also great, and I will always love Londons ability to provide some real timewarp sights.

[Spottedlaurel]

Yes, I like the garage Seth! Lots of other good stuff too.

[seth]

I couldn't believe it when I spotted that Talbot, hence the requirement to drive around the block to get a picture. Fiat was a bizarre spot too.

 

I'm guessing that teh Triumph chassis in the garden was a one time attempt at a kit car or something. Was tempted to knock on the door and find out if they'd sell the Cosmic wheels but they would have been tricky to carry on a bicycle.

 

I also now know the whereabouts of a pukka Mk1 Espace but haven't been past with a photographic device yet...

[chaseracer]

 

 

Hope the toilets work better than those on London Midland...!

It's a 'Wizard' roadster, I believe. The firm that made them is long defunct.

 

[seth]

Here's a few from last night Ace Classics gathering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously getting pretty quiet now. Buckley turned up later on in an Orange Ro80...
