My Spots - Occasionally Updated

[Negative Creep]

Thought I'd share the few pictures I've picked up on my travels. Don't expect much as I tend to work in the dark or have the time to stop. Well, that and I don't want people thinking I'm some sort of weirdo taking pictures of old Rovers. Anyway, here they are

 

 

 

 

These have been there for a very long time

 

 

 

 

Not sure if this counts, was very well polished but could see some rust on the sills

That's what I call forward thinking, they've got it painted for the track already!

What he said... 'cept I take pictures of just about anything at (or beyond) the the Rusty Gates (if there was such a thing as Autoshite Heaven ). My only worry is that people think I'm snapping the said car so that I can come back and rob it later... Am I being silly?

[shite_meister]

Bloody hell I saw that Renner 5 yesterday as I'm on tour in Plymouth this week spreading the meister's love, think it was in Stonehouse.

no i see that too take afew pics and afew days later its gone... lucky i have a big old camera so i tell them i'm doing a piece on ol' cars, most are ok but the curtain twitchers get worried, had the cops called on me once; they laughed i shat it... but as i hadnt taken any pics there wasnt anything they could do...

It's been there for as long as I can remember. However it does move around a few spaces, but never seen it on the road!

[Gompo]

 

This is such a shame, I dont remember the last time I saw one of those early Swifts on the road.

[Negative Creep]

A few more for you

 

 

This thing was actually taxed Wasn't going to stop as it's a very dodgy part of town, but there was rust everywhere and the tyres were flat

 

Bit of a fail of a fail on the photo front, but a standard mk.1 Golf!

 

 

I also went to the Dorset Japanese Car Show on Sunday, not much retro action there, but here it is:

 

 

This thing was mint

 

This one wasn't

 

 

 

Both entering the concourse

 

 

 

 

A 200SX not only without stupid 'drift mods but with no rust!!

 

Someone liked mine enough to snap it

 

I used to own the red Colt as well!

 

 

Nothing like being individual

 

Finally, it was rahter foggy the other night so took what I think are some rather cool photos

 

 

[Negative Creep]

Plenty of shots from the RR gathering. Was a good day out, a nice mix of show queens and tatty but still great. Was tempted to go onto the track for a laugh, but the day before selling a car that would just tempt fate

 

 

Some obscure Renault

 

 

 

 

 

Yes there are that many Stradas left!

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yes

 

 

 

My mate's old Sapporo

 

 

 

 

Quite a nice attempt and a mini VIP car

 

No idea what this was underneath, but funny as fuck round the track

 

 

Plus mine at the show, to go to a new owner in the next few days

That 'obscure' Renault is my old Fregate!First 'long' journey in many a year-completed without incident.Nice pics -cheers

WTF is the point of this? Is it to say "look how nice this once was, and I did this to it" it worked.

 

I don't normally mind the Rat Look, had a Mk2 transit like it and had no issues driving about with genuine hand crafted gaffer tape wheel arches (passed its test with them) but that's how I bought it, I didn't go and purposefully make it bad.

[dollywobbler]

I actually quite liked it. Worked really well in the flesh and was very, very well executed.

Sorry, but I'm with Mr Transit on this. Executed is what the half wit who did that should be! Restoring or preserving old cars is surely what most of us aspire to, but taking what was obviously once a very nice car and deliberately spoiling it is just moronic! Baffles me.

[AXrescuer]

I agree, it looks like the sort of thing that only a 5 year old would find cool. I'd be less embarrassed coming out of a sex shop than being seen in that.

[Richard]

Ms Transit, I think you'll find.

I'd be more concerned that Richard has saved a picture of Fred in her spandx onto his computer!

[FredTransit]

Er what can I say? Apart from if I previously owned that VW I would burn it with the culprit who did it, in it.....

Im gonna go against the grain and agree the the wobbler, i wouldnt drive it but i think it is interesting which is something hard to find at shows at the moment ?

- me too - it made me laugh, perhaps a 'scene' car that doesn't take the scene too seriously at all = win. Mind you it does smack of schizophrenia...

[FredTransit]

I actually could cope with it as full rat, but the nice shiny side just make you think how nice it was to start with.....

[Mr Lobster]

The Scirocco whilst not to my taste was very well done, must have had an immense amount of thought and effort put into it as the details were impresssive. I guess it's been built with the intention of getting looked at and to that end it works spot on!

[dollywobbler]

Yes, but there are loads of nice shiny 'roccos. If fields were full of immaculate cars all as they left the factory, the world would be utterly boring.I wouldn't want to own it and I wouldn't do that myself but I applaud the thought and the fact that it clearly didn't just take 5 minutes with a sledgehammer to effect.

So why not start with a less than average one then? Far more of them about.

[UltimateJames]

dont think that would work tho as the effect is mint/rat ??

[FredTransit]

Sounds like a bizarre toothpaste, minty rat.....
