davocano 3451 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Soarer that's gone a bit Sauron or summat. Not my cup of tea but someone's enjoying it. Again, make your vehicle whatever you want it to be. MOT history recommends a weldathon; if it hasn't been done, I hope it will be. Sacre vert! Ooooh those rims. barrett, Split_Pin, LightBulbFun and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 A couple of spots that started life in Swedenshire; this XC70 Cross Country looks a bit bASe in white, apart from the decadent alloys of course. That's more like it. On the hoof grabshot of an A70 Supra. W202s are starting to thin out nowadays; this one is 2.4L Still a fair few of these around my way. Fairly early MGF Two 205s in one day? I was fairly* pleased. LightBulbFun and Split_Pin 2 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 A contender for my Spot Of The Year; 2L GL with manual 'box. danthecapriman, adw1977 and Rad_slav 3 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Oops, nearly forgot this one. "Pam" has excellent taste in 'shite. Split_Pin and mk2_craig 2 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 In this interminably awful year, October seems like a good place to be 'cos we are that much nearer to 2021. A brand new calendar won't change the shit state of everything of course but I take my smol comforts wherever I can. Big comforts can be found in this Alphard. Big* powers in this V5 Golf. Always a pleasure to see an old Volvo estate. A well ventilated container full of crap. And a portaloo. Does anyone pay much attention to vans? I try to. These are quite hard to spot nowadays. It's very green and has a good old fashioned diesel smear. danthecapriman and LightBulbFun 2 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 It's all about the details. I spotted this and thought "interesting modern" and lo, it's a wheelchair access conversion. Not a delivery vehicle. Still fairly common but they'll likely disappear one day along with their late owners. A re-spot from 2017, still hanging in there with the help of wob. A re-spot from 2018. Oooh. LightBulbFun, mk2_craig and danthecapriman 3 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Never did like the styling of these but in this 2020, my opinion is changed to a positive. Nice to see a 200SX that isn't all DRIFTMONGYO. Also, purple. Still not sure about the rimz. Nice plate tho. Oooh, a scene. One owner and 27,000 miles. I could SWAN about in this, no bother. Some bASe Malaysian joy. Want level is sepuluh. LightBulbFun, Schaefft and inconsistant 3 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yet another contender for SOTY. Sapphs can still be found but in 1.6 L spec? Not very much. There was some other stuff too, also from as recently as today. puddlethumper, garycox and danthecapriman 3 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 It's now December so it must be time to review November's spots. Hashtag lazy spotter slash uploader. I'm getting a bit of a thing on about later Saabs. Just look at that rear end; ATTRACTIVE Nice wheel covers. Toyota Vitz. I don't understand why someone would go to the trouble of importing a JDM Yaris and then bolt multifits to it. PURPLE Tail lights and ^ head lights similarities. inconsistant 1 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 How this wasn't beaten to death years ago is a mystery to me. Oooh, facelift. Oooh, hockey sticks. 1.6 Flight in the lesser spotted 3-door variant. Haven't seen many examples of my current wishshite in red. Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Not a common sight parked streetside. Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as PLANTLIFE Previously spotted in 2018, now with the grille re-fitted. Previously spotted in 2017, it's now had it's doors kicked in (matching driver's side not pictured but I WAS THERE, MAN) Another example of the average* Londoner's favourite old Merc. inconsistant, Three Speed, LightBulbFun and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Another re-spot from 2017; can't tell if it's improving. Yet another re-spot from 2017; it's spun around 180 degrees. Previously spotted by someone on the Lazy Spotter's thread. I don't recall who soz. bunglebus, barrett, LightBulbFun and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 It's got an autobox but please don't hold it against it. A pile of shit (if you're not a 'shiter) A pile of shit (unless you're a Ford licker). It's a JOKE*, yeah? I am a Ford licker. Even tho I'm cheating on 'em a bit with Saab. Oooh, one owner.

davocano 3451 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 A long overdue update to wrap up the glorious* year that was 2020. This sat for a while with For Sale signs asking for a frankly mental six bags. Reduced to four bags, car and signs disappeared soon after. Apart from the Transformers bollocks on the bonnet, nice. This was also nice. CD spec. Posh. V6. Nice. Oooh, very bASe-ish. Driver's side door was stoved in so I didn't think this would last very long; saw it again a couple of days ago and the door has been repaired. Owned by a winnah obvs. Those wheelcovers tho.

davocano 3451 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Parked outside sheltered housing, I'm guessing the elderly owner mistook the go pedal for the stop pedal. Busted fence and tyre track visible. Stumbled across a yard with some abandoneds in it. Probably the least interesting car in it but Vectra Bs are quite the rarity 'round my way. Starlet with a cherished* plate and a Cuore under the cover there. Spareship for the undercover Cuore? Nah. Did lulz at the "BOTTOM" sticker and "A. HARRIS" plate tho Brake and suspension issues meant MOT fail in 2019. Standing under trees for nearly two years won't make the repair bill any less. Blimey. Thread epitaph deleted to spare everyone the TL:DR Been a shit 12 months ain't it. I caught the Covids just before Christmas and still haven't properly gotten over it. I think I'll just lob the odd spot into Lazy Spotter's thread from now on. puddlethumper, bunglebus, danthecapriman and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

barrett 10616 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Please keep updating this threa, it's great! That Maxi a couple of posts up is astonishing - I'm so glad things like that are still chugging around in 2021 davocano 1 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted Monday at 06:56 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 06:56 PM What's the point in having a mind if you never change it? I'm gonna re-rail this thread. Two early-ish examples of their kind, both in eye-catching retail silver. <<<<<<<THIS IS NOT AN ABANDONED VEHICLE<<<<<<< the windowscreen sticker sez. OK M8 Type 2 that appears to be working for a living; light duties only tho. Not a pineapple in sight. REFRESHING but that plate font.

davocano 3451 Posted Monday at 07:15 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:15 PM ^ Lean month that. February has blessed me with full Covid recoveries and increasing levels of mobility. Mk1 Clios are getting quite rare 'round my way; this is 1.2 RN Grande. Unusual choice for the "been through a hedge" makeover If this showed up in a roffle, I'd probably fall asleep TEMPTED Modern vans eh? MAN eh? Caught my eyes. Probably 'cos it's not white.

davocano 3451 Posted Monday at 07:19 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:19 PM Oooh, these are lookers eh? Oooh, an Express TD. Mere days later, a 160 appears. Gah, multifits. LightBulbFun and crad 2 Link to post Share on other sites
davocano 3451 Posted Monday at 07:32 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:32 PM HWM Aston Martin currently have TWO Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brakes in their showroom; my Lotto dream garage would have one of them and I would use it for nothing but carting crap to the tip. This is not one of the Shooting Brakes but it IS a Zagato. Not 'shite but my inner child loves this kind of ludicrous exotica. They also have this immaculate Caddy. I miss gingercators 'cos they are ACTUALLY FUCKING VISIBLE on the road. Ahem. In the same town but not HWM related.
