trigger Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 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.

trigger Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 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 ). 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!. 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? Some Yankie thing with fat tyres and twin pipes, Looked cool. BMW 636 CSi looked as if it had been sitting for a while. 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...

Milford Cubicle Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I think it's an African market Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompo Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Nice spots!Shame about the Saab, I thought Mr Bickle had all the Saab 9x plates available. Doubt it'll see the road again, maybe Pete-M could retrieve the plate 'somehow'. Dont take that the wrong way Pete-M! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It's much too boxy and upright to be a Loadbeta.I'm sure this machine was on eBay a while back, and it's some kind of third world-spec Toyota. I can't find it online though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 I've had a google search on it as well and can't find anything, It does look like it has Toyota on the door though, I'm sure it had the model written on the tailgate but I can't remember what it was now.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Milf's got it bob on i'd say, I remember it being on the bay as well. Those african boys put styling lower down the priority list than most! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. My wife took this for me from her office window. 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!. And then this afternoon i past this at the same pub with the old Austin and Rover SD1 and MG ZT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I also have shots of the weird Toyota, 2CV, DS and BMW 6-series! Just up from where the first three are is a village garage where they used to have some odd stuff, I've photographed an old Rover and a big '70s American coupe of some sort there.

trigger Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 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. The lads on the campervan seemed to like it!. Another shot of the Princess taken today, It hasn't moved for a few weeks. Triumph 2000 and Subaru Pick Up This driveway is a popular sight as it's on one of the main roads, The Cambridge has been there for years. 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. This E reg Escort van was up for £495, Had strange light added to the rear doors. Bluebird LS at a old people home just behind me, Never see it move. Allegro in Colchester. 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. And i saw this BMW M5 (i think) on a rough estate in Ipswich, Bet someone is gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 It had me fooled It had the pukka looking 4 tail pipes as well, Maybe some locals chavs nicked it thinking it was a M5 and burnt it out in disgust after finding out it wasn't!

Spottedlaurel Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 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?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy777 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 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.

trigger Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Chances of the Bluebird ending its days at Foxhall Raceway?...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. 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. 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. Past this POS on a side road near me. The tow bar was a good finishing touch. I still see lots of these about. 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. I didn't want to get of the car in case i got chased off, The A50 hasn't been taxed since 1983. I would love a 105E estate, I'll have to go back another day with my proper camera and get some better photo's. In the same yard was this shitter, What is it though?. This N reg Niva was also in the yard. 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. 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). 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.
