MorrisItalSLX Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Drove past a turquoise Holden (Vauxhall) Frontera Sport with some serious lacquer peel. Never seen one in the flesh before and I hope to never see one again in the future. Also, a Mercedes 300SL Convertible HOONED past me at eleventy-million kilometers per hour. Would love to see it again in the future as I think it is a local car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSdriver Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I noticed I was being followed by a DeLorean the other day. It made me wonder if the driver was thinking 'blimey, I'm following an XM estate, you don't see many of those about nowadays' AlabamaShrimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4wheeledstool Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I had do do a little research into what the fuck I saw on my way home through Northwich yesterday. I knew it was huge, air cooled, and communistical - and thanks to the internet, I now know it was a Tatra 603. If I hadn't sat and totally gawped at its alien appearance for so long, I may have had the presence of mind to take a picture of it.

anonymous user Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 A Smart Car, not exciting in itself, but it was towing a trailer! Admittedly a very small trailer and the "towbar" looked to be a strip of angle iron bolted across the rear plastic bumper, I'm assuming there is some metal behind it.

Luxxo Waftybarger Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Anyone know anything about the Exeter city council black Rover 75 limo? Usually badly parked on the pavement outside Guildhall with quite a few parking dents. Haven't seen it in a while. Would be sad if it's been retired. If anything would motivate me to get into local politics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Just walked into town to get some stuff to eat at work tomorrow when I heard something rorty blatting around the mini-roundabout behind me. Expecting the usual barried Corsa or 206 to dump its fake waste-gate next to my right ear I was pleasantly surprised to see a middle-aged bloke booting a minty XR4i up the Asda service road. Makes a change from being sat behind it in a nylon chair at some car show.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
