Another JDM that also belongs in the "cars you've never heard of" thread; a Toyota Vista Ardeo.

A cream RR Corniche Drophead with a blue hood in a shade of such vibrancy that fish living on the Great Barrier Reef would say "Mate, that's a bit loud, yeah?".

I think the fair weather has been bringing them out down here!

 

Today’s pick, most of which were from when I’ve been on the road.

 

Ford Crown Vic police cruiser in full state trooper livery, spotted on the A3 just north of Petersfield. Cool as fuck it was too!

89 Volvo 740 estate and an unknown vintage 340 just outside Tongham. The 740 had the same US front lights mines got. The 340 was in ‘drift-yo’ look.

Series 2 Landy driving around Fleet.

Unknown vintage Alfa 2000 GTV doing a serious turn of speed down the A3 southbound. I was doing 70 and it passed me with ease!

Early 70’s Citroen DS on a driveway just north of Fareham, out on the back roads. It was brown and not exactly in the best of condition from what I could see, though did appear to be in use.

Silver MX-6 just sitting quietly in a Sainsbury's car park near Garforth this afternoon.

[myglaren]

Mk II Jag in silver, spotted on my way to Seaton Delaval to collect daughter.

No opportunity for a photo, passed in opposite directions on the A1.

I'd forgotten about this thread, but I'm glad it's popped up.

On Sunday afternoon I saw a transporter on the the M25, on the top deck 2 yes 2 Fiat 128 3P's. The bottom deck had ,what I presume was a replica, Zakspeed Capri and an Alfa Guilia GTA, there was also a modern Fiat 500 Abarth thing on Italian plates. Don't know if it was an Italian dealer taking cars to a show or something .

Subaru Justy MK1 in Aldershot, and a proper LDV 400 dropside in Woking today.

 

Working trains makes it very easy to spot tat.

[vulgalour]

A19, bright red retro-style thing.  I'm guessing one of those Daihatsu Cuore with a Japanese market face on it.  It wasn't the one designed to look like an 1100 or an Lancia, this one looked like it was pretending to be a Wolseley 6/90 instead.

Almost got run over by a giffer owned Proton Persona (90’s saloon type) last night. Parked outside the local chippy, I walked past as he tried reversing out of the car park. Not seen one in ages.

There’s worse ways to go I suppose!

[vulgalour]

Two while out on errands today.  The first a lowered pale gold Y reg Granada saloon, the second a red Mk2 Astra with a black primer front wing that looked and sounded like it had escaped from a 90s retail park meet.

C909ULU

 

Citroën CX 25 GTi Turbo in quite unremarkable circumstances.

[Aston Martin]

I thought I saw an Almera GTI, but it was an Si. Whatever that is.

[Aston Martin]

On a trailer and shagged.

 

UMM Alter Turbo... Whatever that is.

[Amishtat]

Just now in Fordham, G137RUD, a five door Fiesta in flatter than a kipper's dick maroon and rocking the rural look with a roof rack and no wheel trims. I hate Mk. 3 and 4 Fiestas but it's still nice to see one that old still going.

[davocano]

If my borrowed Fiesta hadn't been running on fumes, I'd have chased after C94TPC...

 

...'cos it's a Nissan Cherry.

[Aston Martin]

This drove past me today, after I finished pissing myself. I did a Google.

I meant to post a picture of the 2 Volvos a while back,they're about a mile from where I work.He used to have a 340 4-door saloon as well,also drift spec.

Yesterday, I saw an Aston Martin Lagonda exiting the southern end of Castle Donington.

Amazingly, this was followed by an Aston Martin Lagonda, followed by a third Aston Martin Lagonda.

 

Is this a record?

[mercrocker]

That's probably how many Aston Martin Lagondas you need to ensure getting home in one.

A shabby Ford Anglia with those hot rod type alloys, driven by a Father Christmas lookalike in Bordon today .

[Schaefft]

Saw a Mk6 Escort convertible parked on the overpass on my way to work today. There was noone around so I assume it broke down.

[Aston Martin]

A gold Probe driver was living the dream bombing down the A1 M..... Followed by a silver Probe.

This has triggered a long-forgotten childhood memory......One Xmas Eve back in the 60s I was the usual restless kid trying to get to sleep pending a visit from Santa.   I had just dropped off soon after midnight or so  when I was woken up by a car - we never had one then and neither did our neighbours.   I peeped through the curtains to see two big oval headlamps lighting up the neighbour's back garden.   It un-nerved me enough to send me straight back to my bed.   Turned out it was their daughter and son-in-law arriving for Christmas from their army quarters in Paderborn but for the rest of that night I was convinced Santa drove a 17M Taunus.....

That's a magnificent machine,  Lots of photo's of it somewhere from Citroen rallies.

 

Dropped daughter's Megane off to have the locking problem looked at and walking home spotted an MX5/Eunos Y 819 PWC in cracking condition.

Photo on phone but I can't get them off to upload

Took a load of shit to the tip today, it's on the way to a military port so there is often some growling Caterpillar-powered Oshkosh action along the twisty B road.   Today didn't disappoint with four of the buggers running empty toward the port, let off the leash from carrying Challengers they deffo weren't hanging about.... 

 

That wasn't The Spot, though, although it is lorry-related.   In between the green monsters was a working Volvo F12, E-plate, hauling a 40ft box to the off-dock storage nearby (or possibly also en route to the military port although it was a civilian container).   We often see a V reg. F10 working around the docks themselves but I hadn't seen this before.   Bloody lovely sight....

Yesterday I saw a Mazda 626 coupe in red. Driving out of the local church at my parents between Cheltenham and Gloucester. They can't have been plentiful when they were new! No reg plate as its was in profile, looked tidy though. Guessing it's local if at a church so will keep my eyes peeled for it again.
