Recommended Posts

Spot on Andrew!, Wonder the the story is with it, Hopefully it will get back on the road again one day, I was lost looking for a car trader on that road with a Polo that was for sale for Mrs. Trigger, Howard Smee it was called, sadly when i started the car i couldn't see nothing for 5 minutes due to the heavy smoke pouring out of the exhaust.

Quick update for ya, yet again sorry for some of the crappy shoots, Still not got the hang of taking photo's whilst driving and Mrs. T isn't no David Bailey neither (or David Bellamy as she called herself the other day :roll::lol: ).

 

This Zafira was towing this very shite looking Renault Extra converted trailer down the A12 with a boot full of Drum kits and other band equiment.

Lovely coloured 1972 DS up a country lane.

Saw this round the back of a garage, GR8 4 AUTOSHITE RECOVERY.

WTF would you fit Bentley badges on a Chyrsler?, Even the big 18" alloys had Bentley badges!.

 

Posted Image

 

The 2CV in this driveway was up on bricks and looking sorry for itself but what is the white pick up next to it?, A Tata?

 

Posted Image

 

Some Yankie thing with fat tyres and twin pipes, Looked cool.

 

Posted Image

 

BMW 636 CSi looked as if it had been sitting for a while.

 

Posted Image

 

I had to turn around a few times to get pictures of this and even these's ones are crap!, This Cambridge looked like proper old bloke spec, Bet he's had it for years.

Vanilia magic tree FTL :(

And my best spot was this 1972 SAAB 99L, I went to buy Mrs T a new car yesterday was this was parked in the yard, Turns out it came into the bodyshop next door for some work then the owner buggered of to Amercia never to come back, still oweing money on it.

 

I also wouldn't be surprised if you could buy it if you wanted it as the salesman said they wanted shot of it, It had a cool SAB 99L plate as well, Not taxed since 1992 though...

They do look terrible yes, but i guess the market its in, along with the country said market is from, doesnt care too much for aesthetics!

Just a couple more blurry Mobile photos for you.

 

This was parked at the garage next door to where i used to work, I did take a front shot but managed to delete it whilst uploading to the computer. :twisted::cry:

My wife took this for me from her office window.

 

Posted Image

 

She then went on to excel herself and snapped this up the road from me!. This one is a bit fuzzy as he said she was being woof whisled at whilst trying to take the photo!.

 

Posted Image

 

And then this afternoon i past this at the same pub with the old Austin and Rover SD1 and MG ZT.

Few more spots from the last week or so to share with you.

 

This Jowett Javelin Rod was back out a drive a few yards from my house this afternoon, Note the number plate on the Golf GTD in front as well.

 

Posted Image

 

The lads on the campervan seemed to like it!.

 

Posted Image

 

Another shot of the Princess taken today, It hasn't moved for a few weeks.

 

Posted Image

 

Triumph 2000 and Subaru Pick Up

 

Posted Image

 

This driveway is a popular sight as it's on one of the main roads, The Cambridge has been there for years.

 

Posted Image

 

Never seen this drive before even though it's not far from me, It's full of Whizzkids!, Not very easy to take a picture of driving past due to all the hedges though.

 

Posted Image

 

This E reg Escort van was up for £495, Had strange light added to the rear doors.

 

Posted Image

 

Bluebird LS at a old people home just behind me, Never see it move.

 

Posted Image

 

Allegro in Colchester.

 

Posted Image

 

These BMW sit at a BMW specialist in Colchester, There is always something interesting there , Most the cars haven't been taxed for years.

The grass was dead under this M3.

 

Posted Image

 

And i saw this BMW M5 (i think) on a rough estate in Ipswich, Bet someone is gutted.

Camper van men are amusing.I can remember lots of decaying older BMWs (and other stuff) at Angus Buchanan's place years and years ago when it was St Christopher's Garage, been driving/driven past there since I was a baby as it was local to us. I think it did used to be a proper BMW garage. I remember mum buying petrol there on the odd occasion. And his daughter was in my year at school.Chances of the Bluebird ending its days at Foxhall Raceway?...

Ha, the amount of money the unlucky owner of that torched 'M5' must have spent on making it look authentic, only to have it both stolen and lit up hopefully tells them to stop playing a charade.That subaru pickup looks mighty clean from what i can see.Also, ive recently developed a fondness for those Blueys, theres also more round here than i first thought.Considering theres 3 banger tracks within 15 miles thats weird.But thats a pretty old one, nice spotting there.

Highly likely, but theres still a few around here, That red one still hasn't moved neither.

 

Anyway time for a a fresh set of blurry updates, Most of these have been taken today whilst on my travels.

 

Spotted this Rover 2000 round the corner from me, Will try and get a better photo when it stops raining.

Mk2 Escort 2 door in a state of disrepair up the side of a house nearby.

 

Posted Image

 

I was just about to take a photo of this tatty C reg Corolla being driving my a young lad in a baseball cap when some twat pulled out in front of me, By the time i caught up this was as good of a shot i could get.

 

Posted Image

 

This was in the car park of a local gym, I was there arranging my 30th birthday party, Not to work on the weight, Note Saab 900 Turbo in background.

 

Posted Image

 

Past this POS on a side road near me. The tow bar was a good finishing touch.

 

Posted Image

 

I still see lots of these about.

 

Posted Image

 

These are all on a industrial estate in Colchester, I used to go there years ago, The place is called Essex Triumph, They have some proper old crud there.

 

Posted Image

 

I didn't want to get of the car in case i got chased off, The A50 hasn't been taxed since 1983.

 

Posted Image

 

I would love a 105E estate, I'll have to go back another day with my proper camera and get some better photo's.

 

Posted Image

 

In the same yard was this shitter, What is it though?.

 

Posted Image

 

This N reg Niva was also in the yard.

 

Posted Image

 

I love this car, It belongs to the wife of the bloke that owns the yellow custom Capri you see at shows, The one that has Capri or not a Capri on it and the Jeff number plate.

This was in Tesco's and runs 3.0 V6 with a autobox.

 

Posted Image

 

They have had it years, His wife must be in her 60's by now and he also has a Mk 1 Cortina estate he uses has his workvan (He's a mechanic).

 

Posted Image

 

Shame this is a bit blurry but I've been wanting to get a photo of it for ages and just saw it parked up my road, So i parked my car and got some shots!, It's normally been driven by a young lady, has baby seat in the front and it's spotless.
