^  poor sod, having to face the daily humiliation of riding around on that.  With the full attire of a seasoned biker ..but in fact being a supermarket barrow boy.  And an oh-so-plastic barrow at that, with the riding position of a cheap end of the market chinese scooter., whose bonnet and seat makes my Shitroen Ami's panel fit look very trim indeed !  Imagine the manly proud as he starts the machine, the hoarty sound of a  .. ooh an under-powered electric motor   

 

And just for fun, the supplier reasoned : why not fit round-sectioned tyres to this trike ? .. then they'll be less grip on the road ..but it sure will track along ridges horribly ! 

 

poor, poor sod.  whatever did he do to deserve it ?

Genuinely I feel for the guy.

There's a new VW called the Arteon. Neverbloodyheard of it m8.

 

 

I spotted an Arteon in Berlin last week. It's replacing the (Passat) CC, VW's weird attempt at the Merc CLS.

[Sloth in a bowl]

In France last week and I was passed by a Peugeot 3008 SUV, I had no idea they were a thing, or the 2008 I saw soon afterwards.

 

 

 

 

 

to be honest, except for the badge, I'll doubt if I recognise them the next time I see them either.

I've seen a few of those Ford Edges about. They seem to be an American-market 'crossover' (bleurgh) that they decided to sell here now. They're much bigger in person than they look in photos!

[Brodders]

 

This one genuinely has me stumped. From the front it looks like a generic early 90s sports car, but from the back it looks like a Mk3 Fiesta convertible (if they ever made such a thing.)

 

Any ideas of what it is?

Thank you very much.

 

Only on here would you be able to find several people who can identify an obscure 90s kit car and link you to the owners club site within 15 minutes of posting up about it. Nobody else I know could figure out what on earth it was.

[Negative Creep]

Listed as a Bedford Brava, Toyota badge on the back and steering wheel but a random one on the front. Any ideas?

Identical steering wheel to my Mum's Toyota Aurion. No idea whats going on with the badges or what it is, but possibly worth checking grey import sites to see if there is more of them about

How could anyone not know the XJS existed, you may be asking. Ah, but this is a Daimler XJS. Sharp eyes will notice the flutes on the top of the grille, and it's also a hardtop with a targa roof and no buttresses. It was built in 1985 but the Americans didn't take to it and preferred the convertible so it went no further.

I saw one of those this morning and wondered what it was. Some sort of new-fangled Volvo thing then.

[Yoss]

Saw this today so I know it exists but I still don't know what it is. A quick Google suggests it's a Toyota of some sort but I'm none the wiser. Some sort of JDM?
