'Pandragger', for the lowest of the low.  They used to put castors on the bottom to stop the sump and what have you striking the ground in the very old days before hydraulic suspension.  I suppose the idea of a 'fixed' lowrider would seem ridiculous, today, but that's what there was!  The first hydraulic cars used aircraft bits to go up and down.  

I don't dislike the truck, but have never been the biggest fan of the 'rat' look, on the basis that it's limited to flat black, chrome, rust and red oxide.  They're fine, but once they've been done, they've been done.  There's a lot more variety on the other side of the coin.  Imagine said truck cleaned and re-done in the candy color(s) of your choice...  

Not sure if it's that, or a similar one, that a guy I take welding to owns. He loves unusual jobs.

By the way, it looks like a Maestro Special or Clubman that some one has colour coded the bumpers and mirrors, and fitted MG wheels to.

I noticed that the E type coupe that my mate used to own is now a lightweight racing roadster. Either someone went to a lot of trouble or ring-a-ding-ding.

I think I saw that the same day when we walked back home, but Mrs Concern had already been looking at me funny when I papped the BMW on the way out and it was a bit out of our way so I gave it a miss.

Sorry for being thick, but I'm not sure which pic you're referring to, could you link the pic and give us some more details please? It sounds interesting...

The photo of my mate with the car is not on the internet and I would have to ask his permission before posting it. The photos of the car as it is now I found on google after searching the registration AYM182B.

I believe there is someone on the forum who can look up the history of a plate but can't remember who.

I'm only in the office once a week, and I swap the day around quite frequently so it's pot luck to spot me 😅 Somehow, I almost always get that spot just after the bus stop though.

Still in Switzerland and posting using my phone which I hardly ever do, so please forgive mistakes such as miss spelling Hyundai. 
This made me wonder when I last saw a Saab 9000?

IMG_2248.jpeg.72b4086e2d84c530f1de9ba2757b4987.jpeg

Looks tidy

Spotted this Alfa Syder 2000 while waiting for a bus and saw a green one later while walking about then rather strangely we saw a much later red one while on the train, but didn’t get a pic of either.
