brownnova Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 A jaunt was had over to a car show near Cannock, never been to this one before, and the Pontiac got the nod. The selection was diverse and interesting as you will see below! RayMK, Spottedlaurel, Minimad5 and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 A few more “in the wild” type spots now… A rare little Paseo: An early Zafira (this is a cheat… I helped move this car for a friend) Samurai!!!!! Crusty MG ZX!! A Merc which is in daily use apparently. Exocet Spotted doing the shopping at Tesco. Two Saab 900 spots: Yes it’s cheating as it’s at a meet, and I’ve posted the pic before… but just fucking look at it!! Llandudno old money style. Nova came streaming past on the M6. Toll… Pogweasel Proton. Hey hey I wanna be a Rocsta Some ancient racer thingy… Not seen this locally before, but it was parked in a back street not to far away… Was visiting family in the Saab 9000 when I saw…. Very very low mileage one by the looks of things. Miaow…. 309 on the way to Scotchland And finally…. Spot of the day! Went for coffee today and this was parked in the car park! No not my 9000 but the 635! (Excuse the birdshit on the 9000) Coprolalia, Minimad5, Dyslexic Viking and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 On my way home I saw this monstrosity too! A Maestro trailer of sorts… Although the number plate belongs to a Peugeot 406… not a Maestro or the Land Rover to which it is hooked up.

Think it belongs to one of the houses by the coffee shop. It had a retro disk lock on! Cord Fourteener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Came across these whilst on a track dropping my 2CV at a welder… apparently this collection used to be a lot bigger but a few were moved on more recently. The Asia Rocsta I’ve pictured before, and this Proton… but today I had more of an explore…. And finally a guess the car game! I spotted this in the undergrowth and could barely see what fine steer it used to be… Good luck!

Schaefft Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 That would be great, although it would need to be around scrap money considering the mileage and how it's been stored. Off the roads for a decade and who knows how long in a field always is a bad sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover is tasty, but at this period in my life if its not an estate is not a real car... gone are the days where a long fastback is practical enough!! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 The spots have been a bit thin on the ground lately. It’s been cold… and salty. But here are my quality street… Starting with the Purple one. Continuing on the 90s theme… I did try and buy this Xantia but it wasn’t for sale… Like Keely Hawes it’s back to the 80s for this Oldsmobile. A gen1 Xsara! In Rhyl! With all its wheels and windows still intact! These used to be everywhere… but now… only on roads containing half timbered buildings. Snap! A late Omega… this was the second Omega I’d seen that day, I couldn’t get my phone quick enough for number 1 And a 190… which has seen better days. And has no Mot but is parked ont he road… outside an Mot station… Dyslexic Viking, Minimad5, Shite Ron and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnova Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Idly perusing my phone whilst I wait for the phone lines of insurance companies to open so I can try and get quotes on a potential new purchase… so I thought it was about time to update the old spotted thread! First up Trooper… not the Iron Maiden based beer, but an Isuzu Living the life of luxury… Just yards from the roller… That’s a bit more like it. Same as last month… I found a Volvo fwend! Layer cake special MGBGT… one of the better chrome conversions I’ve seen… This festa… apparently has only done 5k from new…. Hence the price tag which was so high it appears to have made me fall over! Sticking with Fords… Mmm Mouldy! Down the road from my grandma’s house… have I put this one before I can’t remember… When did you last see a Camry!!! Well for me it was last weekend at Tesco Chester. Scimitar festering away near Chester. And a nice local Sierra! Next, on to the American car section of the post. A few American cars to be spotted recently… got to admit I’m slightly falling for American cars lately… First up.. LeBaron! This was round the back of the garage… But i preferred… Straight line speed is available… New York New York! Cruella… Those last ones were on my way home from work last night… I had to explain that I was late home because I’d been perving over some Gold American cars… my wife just laughed. And finally outside the same house as the Chrysler New Yorker and the Caddy… privatewire, GrumpiusMaximus, Dyslexic Viking and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnoyingPentium Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 That last house with the two American motors and the Rover is a good reason to have AS leaflets made, fire them through the door. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
