Spotted!

[Cord Fourteener]

As promised, some rear end action.

[Cord Fourteener]

I was lucky to walk past this, then after these snaps I even got a drive-past!

[Cord Fourteener]

Been trying to get a snap of this for a while, and now success.

Just look at that paint work!

That gorgeous Saab 99 again!

Some recent spots.

Some misses, saw a pug 505 estate, occasionally seen driving round. And a couple of nice Lancia rally things, amongst others.

[Cord Fourteener]

Tasty!

Here's a very well kept Golf MK3 GTi

How have a I missed a fellow North Wales spotted thread! I'm enjoying playing identify the location as much as looking at the cars! 

The Golf's on Mold High Street  if I'm not mistaken!

Reminds me I need to update my spotted thread! Maybe one day we'll pap each other's cars ?

Yes, it's Mold High Street!

Let's hope we do pap each others cars. Do you have a spotted as well?

I've been seeing this, then today I took the opportunity to pap it as it drove away.

Lovely to see the old Pug 505 doing the rounds.

[Cord Fourteener]

Here is a car I'd love to own

Also, previously, this is seems to be a permanent sight at Erddig, the ubiquitous Citroen food wagon.

This particular one sports National Trust insignia.

Haha ok, if I catch it for sale yes.

There was a nice well-looked after Volvo 240 near me, I was tempted to knock on Matey's door and ask if he ever wants to sell it to let me know. However, before I had decided if knocking was a good idea or not it went away forever

[Cord Fourteener]

Love this! Ideal for a windy winter's day in North Wales...

Nice. I like the AS sticker Is that the Red MG in the blue cover?

[New POD]

Red MGB Roadster was at one end, the blue cover hides a rubber bumper MGB GT, at the other end.

We spent 2.5 hours swapping the radiator on his mk4 astra, but obviously I failed to take photos or charge him for the part. 

What I  can tell you is that residents are not allowed to fix cars in the garage. 

I know because when we were at the point of no return, some bloke decided to inform us of that fact. 

I explained that sometimes, for some people it's a choice, either shop in Waitrose and plan a 2 week honeymoon in the Maldives but get your dad to lie on his back on a cold concrete floor and pay to repair your car, 

Or, shop at Heron Foods, plan a weekend away to Prestatyn, and pay a main dealer to do your servicing on a 69 reg merc you've funded by lease hire. 

Poor bloke looked confused.

Surely you are not a resident, thereby exempt from such regulation?

To be honest, the space he uses to park his car, does not come with his fiancee's flat. 

When he first moved in he did a daily check of the car park and worked out which spaces were never used. (Assuming that's  because it's on a bus route to the city, and close to cycle paths that some people just don't own a car)  

So if anyone complains, it won't be to him or his flat. 

They are planning to move later in the year to a house, and I've requested that they look for one with space for a garage. 

[Cord Fourteener]

Old Polo saloon daily, I see this car everywhere!

 

[brownnova]

I used to have a blue one just like that! Was still kicking around locally until about 2 years ago.
