No photo spotted thread

Seen today, on M6 southbound just past Leyland turn off (fittingly). 

 

Red P6 Rover V8.   Going like the fucking clappers, sunroof nicely billowed up and burning oil like a French tanker driver's strike.    

 

Haven't seen a P6 being driven like that since I saw one get chased by a police Range Rover down the hard shoulder of the M3 in 1985.....

Saw my first Autoshite sticker out in the wild this morning, an '07 Civic outside B&Q in Solihull, who was it?

Spaceship Civic sounds like Noel Tidybeard?

[Lord Sterling]

Yo. Spotted an early White Sierra XR4X4 being driven north between Worcester and Stouport.

 

There is also a couple of Metros that a learner around or Stouport often. One is a clean GTi model and the other a standard model in Orange with White wings.

No pics today from work, but an eclectic assortment including many mclarens ( about twenty), 1 x 1960s Mercedes saloon in white, 1 x xk120 in BRG rally spec, 1x mclaren F1, 1x Bugatti veyron p, 1 x amg mclaren Mercedes thing in blue with orange trim, and 1 x red e type jag s1.5?

[Fumbler]

Saw a V70 today in a beautiful colour, with same rims as ours but the paint was immaulate and there were zero dents or scratches. Also saw a Starlet. And the Metro is still for sale down the road for ££££.

I was following a MKII Alfa Romeo Spider tonight.

 

It was pouring rain, pitch black and on a twisty mountain road full of wildlife.

 

The driver must have testicles measured in gallons or a brain measured in millilitres.

1967 Pontiac Bonneville spotted in Moseley whilst ferrying the other half between Hall Green and Edgbaston, followed shortly by an F-reg Volvo 240 in estate flavour.

[Fumbler]

I saw a 240 as well yesterday. In greyish bule.

Can’t find the Late Registration Madness thread but there is a 52 plate white 306 bombing around Gloucester/Cheltenham - I’ve seen it twice in the last two weeks!

 

Maybe ex-plod due to colour and general Pov-spec look (it’s on black steelies and I assume it’s a diesel).

[MondeoBlues]

Busy day of spotting around Brum without taking a single picture today

 

F reg Golf CL 3 door in the industrial estate in Oldbury that contains Euro Car Parts

 

F reg VW T25 with flatbed in Bearwood

 

C reg BMW 316i in Jewish Racing Gold in Harborne

 

P reg Volvo 960 estate also in Harborne

 

M reg Volvo 940 estate in Northfield

 

M reg Rover 600 in Nightfire red with a collision damage on the offside also in Northfield

 

T reg Daihatsu Grand Move in Quinton that looked like it had been involved in a front end collision because its bumper was just barely hanging on 

 

Then I changed the Mondeo's oil and it was lovely

XYR317

 

Sexy Italian-ness in the form of a pale blue Lancia Aurelia convertible.

 

Shortly after, a black MG Magnette looking a bit postwar austerity miserable-ness in comparison.

[Ghosty]

Couldn't find the thread but the other week:

 

Ford RS200 in Matlock.

[Fumbler]

Polo with gaffa tape holding driver's window up, oh and a diesel Civic what was dented and rusted to hell and back.

[davocano]

A17BXR

 

Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce that I have now seen twice in my locale. Confident* that I'll pin it down with a camera soon.

[mercrocker]

Walked down to Asda today (five mins. max) ....Mid-week, mid-morning in a mid-South Coast mid-sized town.   Yet still got passed by two mid-90s middle American Firebirds, a red ragtop and a black coupe.   Each going their seperate ways.   Haven't seen either around here before.

[Fumbler]

I saw... A Dyane. MOT exempt and was that lovely shade of baby blue with a very prevelent hint of fatal rust.

[davocano]

J308MLX

 

Alfa 164 Lusso. In the words of that jazz club dude on The Fast Show:

 

"....nice..."

[Amishtat]

E230JOO, a pale gold Senator which overtook me on the A12 this morning, driven by a chap who looked old enough to to have bought it new.

[Louise2cv]

Had my mood lifted today as while rushing out of the house trying to get two kids go two different classes in two different towns at the same time, I spotted a red Sierra in the car park over the road. It's an A reg 1.6L. Unfortunately its rear quarter light is missing but it didn't look like it had happened today.

 

We ended up being late for everything obviously. But it was worth it.

MoT history looks interesting.

Been plodding through town on dayshift the past couple of mornings.....Absolute fucker - I hate dayshifts.   Anyway, the traffic is so bad due to roadworks at the moment I am going a different way.   So far this week, I-Spy a K reg Uno being giffer-piloted through the gridlock and an AS-liveried Reliant Rialto estate with a mis-matching beige door.

Yesterday I saw 2 CXes, both in Primrose Hill. One was a late GTi with Alfa 164 rims parked amongst the Range Rovers and 911s.

The other was an early chrome bumper model in metallic brown , with those aluminium full wheel covers that are a bit like Aveger GT trims. The driver was not young , with wild grey hair and beard, in fact he looked like he'd fit right in here!

I think I know which two those are.

 

The met brown Series 1 might be WLO 110X which occasionally surfaces in Ealing, as the owner lives in this area (though I haven't yet found the street).

It's still here. Wonder what the story is.

 

 

Let the curtain twitching commence!

[Louise2cv]

The sierra is stolen according to oldskoolford.com

Reported to NWP.

Got them on CCTV too.

[Louise2cv]

Its now in the care of a police officer awaiting recovery. 
 

YAY for the rescue of another clapped out red sierra!

 

I feel pretty proud of myself actually  Sometimes being a busybody is good for society 

[Timewaster]

Twice yesterday I spotted the same Bond Minicar buzzing up and down the A10.

[taxi paul]

An old chap in whiston lane by me has a c reg cavalier convertible. It lives in his garage . But know and again is parked in the road outside. So I assume taxed and Mot'd. Must get a photo one day.

[oldcars]

03 plate Kia Shuma just gone past work. Black, alloys i think it was a 1800 as it has the alloys and a boot spoiler. I was almost chasing the chap up the road.

[danthecapriman]

It’s been a good day for chod spotting. No idea why but there seems to be an unusually high concentration of them today.

I was driving so no pics sadly but in order of spotting,

 

Vauxhall Cresta PA - rough as hell!

Honda Civic like Ghosty has but in metallic green P reg, absolutely mint with an old boy driving.

LDV Convoy tipper, 03 plate. Not exactly a spectacular spot but it was tidy and you don’t see many of them down here anymore.

Ford Transit mk4, swb, L reg in nice condition.

BMW E34 touring, didn’t get the reg/age but in metallic gold and was absolutely stunning condition.

Volvo 440, J reg in red. Looked solid but well used. Not seen one for ages!

Mercedes 190, J reg metallic red-ish colour, also very very tidy.

 

Always brightens my day seeing old stuff still in use. It’s very depressing seeing seas of modern shit offending my eyes!
