My spottings, old and new - toy fair

52,143 · June 19, 2017

I thought it about time I started my own thread. I've been taking mediocre camera phone pictures of old shite since about 2006 or so, therefore lots of these cars may no longer be alive.

Warning, there will be lots of air-cooled VW content, suck it up.

Great pics, thanks for posting these. I loved the Borgward Coupe, I have not seen one before.

Wow!

Any ideas?

Mitsubishi Shogun?

An overwhelming amount of tat, too much to take in. Particularly like the Panhard, for obvious reasons, but lots of other great stuff here. Just goes to show how much stuff was still knocking about until quite recently.

I think the squashed car is an 80s Subaru

I think lots is still about, you just have to look - many of these are on quiet residential streets, dead ends, small villages. You just have to take a different route now and again.

Mitsubishi Shogun?

Definitely a Shogun - Badge on the wing is still visible

Yep, Shogun - although I had to zoom in on the photo to see the badge. I thought the indicator/sidelight was the biggest clue.

No-one fancy the Disco?

Wow, there's some great stuff here. That righthand drive K70 at the top of the page must be a rarity.

Slumbering 'Ovlov' looks more like a Pissrat to me

This thread is so full of WIN.

Apart from the pictures being hosted on photofuckit. That site just infuriates me.

52,143 · June 29, 2017

Yeah sorry - I have three accounts and thousands of images, almost impossible to move them elsewhere now.

...and now I have to thanks to Photobucket's ransom attempt on everyone

Anyway;

Not old but I have a slight fondness for these, most of the MINIs look dumb to me, be the vans are a bit cool.

I've been trying to pap this for months but it's just before a set of lights, I'm never in the right place!

I'm tempted to start a new thread as all the Photobucket images won't display - thoughts?

Here's a couple from a Yorkshire Dales trip a few years back;

Today I went into town, and walked a longer random route back to the car;

V12! Found outside a classic car garage/storage unit I didn't know was there, a few interesting motors inside but too many people about to take pictures.

What did people who do this to PT Cruisers, do before there were PT Cruisers to do it to?

I was in Brighton on Monday, this place is Chodsville. I think the Mazda UmBongo Friendee is the new VW bus, didn't realise they came in Ford flavour too;

I probably saw twice as many but couldn't get a snap.
