What the hell is this?

 

Posted Image

 

Not so much auto shite.. but this has appeared near me sat in a main line depot for some reason.. ah well it can only be more reliable than the usual crappy trains we are subjected to around here

Finally.. went to recommission the 2.0 S to go back on the road for summer...

only to find the boot like a swimming pool. Joy.

You found the Muchty stash then :lol: Quite impressive, I think you'll agree. There's usually a red M(suffix, not prefix) Range Rover attached to that trailer, I'd assumed it was a non runner but apparently not. You might have noticed a recovery lorry with a dead Transit on the back parked in Station Road. That's his too, and I expect the Renault 21 with flat tyres is another of his. My 9 year old son informs me that the steam engine is an LNER Class K4. I expect it was assisting the

on some part of its trip up North a couple of weeks ago.

Like these spots, esp. as a lot of them have nice local reg's. the 1100 is my favourite :D I wouldnt like to be greeted with that pool of water when opening my car boot :(

The 'what the hell' thing is some sort of Maserati I think

Masser 3500GT?Not sure, my first reaction was Lancia Flamina...GR8 PICS THX 4 SHARIN.

That Mk3 escort is grisly. Seems to be a recent and somewhat bizarre trend in putting outlandishly large and cheap wheels on old cars. Popular in Australiasia I believe. The banger racer is a C31 Datsun Laurel - should do him proud on the curcuit.

Posted

I think that Escort is on the road into Cowdenbeath and I'm sure it didn't look like that when I saw it about a month ago. :( At least it all comes off I suppose.

I wouldn't be upset by that swimming pool in the spare wheel well. It means there's no holes!

Where can you do that kind of search? i only know the tax one...I actually quite like thae spotlights on the escort... :oops: The wheels are rubbish though.

I don't find that escort so totally offensive - they are Ford optional fit for Mk1 Mondeos and are 16in diameter which is not totally outlandish. It's probably nt far from what I would do."Cosworth" is braying too hard to have the real deal underneath. I'm voting 1600 clattery Pinto too.

Love the FE Victors! Would love one of them some day.

But they just look so wrong! Pop it back on steelies and that's a nice old scrote.

I thought the mk3 scrote looked alright as well.. at least it wasnt a sticker clad abortion like the sierraSierra man also has this horror currently on ebay..http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ford-cortina_W0QQ ... dZViewItemDrove past the depot again yesterday to see the black engine in steam and accompanied by said Union of South Africa.. they were maneouvering them into the engine shed. Will post a pic later.. my missus has done some shiteseeing of late as well so i'll try and get those pics up too.

"real headturner"

 

Yes, that is true I'm sure, but he fails to mention they are all turning away from the car, reeling in horror and disgust.

Posted

Left matte black without the pro stock scoop or the sills ( I like the spoiler...) it might have worked, just needing a lourved bonnet. Maybe.

Posted

Love the 'Rati, I'd say it's a Sebring.

Posted

Is that a brick to stop it rolling away, or has the Rat Rod trodden in a massive turd? Is the brick/dogshit included in the price, or does that cost extra?

Even if it has had something meatier slung in the front end, it's a rare event that DVLA is actually informed about a capacity INCREASE. Means you can get £££ extra for it on t'Bay by shouting LOW INSURANCE STILL 1.6 ON THE LOG BOOK :roll:
Posted

...until you crash it then the insurance assesor comes out to see the totally standard base model red 1.6 sierra you told them about :lol:

Update time I think...

 

Most of these taken on the move so the pics are in most cases as shite as the cars...

I saw this one today in Auchtermuchty. I think I know the owner again.
I know him too, loves Saabs and French shite,and fiats. I worked on that 95 a few years back and repainted it in that loverly broon.

 

Just down the road from it you will see a MGB roadster,mounted on a Range Rover chassis- very professional job it is too!

Whereabouts is the MGB? The best mod you can do on an MGB involves a box of Swan Vestas but sticking it on a Range Rover chassis is a close second. I'll have to have a look for it.

 

If you're local I take it you've seen the Range Rover stash at Back Dykes? It belongs to the same guy who has the breakdown truck with dead Transit in Station Road.
