egg Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I did not know that there was a Pug 505 coupe concept.

bramz7 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 This website is utterly superb (albeit a real throwback) and I could spend hours on it, but here is a highlight: http://www.auto-pub.net/ASL/page_Talbot_Horizon_Sherlock.htm Horizon Sherlock which had loads of cheap wood fittings and tweed seats, as well as Sherlock decals in the rear quarter.

HMC Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Plus also please note a Sherlock deer stalker type hat perched on the front seat. Is there also a pipe holder? CLASS timolloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspiral_Mondays Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Spotted today in a traffic jam near Stuttgart, a new one on me, a Lada Vesta. Looks reasonable from a distance, looks totally crap up close. Peter C and Yoss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 No not that Imp. Note it's cooled by a very 50's 'turbine blower' (no it's not just a fan) and also note it's 'adequate brakes'. The third paragraph sounds a bit sarcastic to me, almost as if the designer and president isn't to be believed.

barrett Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Jesus, those dash cam compilations make me so agitated!

The camera car drivers in some of the clips don' t actually help some situations when another motorist screws up as the often drive right into the danger zone.

barrett Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yeah I actually just watched about 10 in a row and the overall effect is more calming than I thought, mainly because of all the different regional accents shouting FOOOKIN CUUUNT over the top of the footage BL Bloke and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd 'BELLEND' or 'DICKHEAD' thrown in for good measure. Think there was a 'COCKWOMBLE' once. Remspoor, MorrisItalSLX and bunglebus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
