And a shite streetname - the streets in this totally sleepy, beige OAP 'hood are named after the farms that stood here pre-1960. Livin' in da Crack state man!

I agree about the Kadett, what a lovely little car. So comically overbodied – just look at the acres of metal above that rear arch. They don’t strike as me looking like a very sprightly thing to drive. Is it an early one? The rear lights look daintier than what my memory tells me they usually look like.I may appear to have been a bit quiet on the spotting front recently, but they’ve been stacking up nicely on my PC – my new route to work and school/nursery drop-off is revealing a few gems, plus there are plenty of oddities in the rather nice little rural town near us. However, it’s noticeable that Lidl and other places around town where I work is throwing up very little nowadays, and the scrap on the stream of trucks going past my office window is getting depressingly modern.If broadband has been set up today as they suggest it will then I’ll try and do an update this weekend. I’m quietly enjoying the rest of yours in the meantime!

Another vote for that Camaro, I think it’s nice because it’s an early one so looks pretty much as they intended with no plastic nosecone. That ‘beak’ was a real family thing with GM then wasn’t it? Victor FE has a very similar look.

It's nice to see one that hasn't been messed about with jacked-up rear suspension and massive slot mags, that's for sure. Personally I quite like the style of the later 70's ones - not sure I'd like to pull out from oblique junctions in that one, it's quite a blindspot between the side and rear windows (rectified for the '75 IIRC)!

They allow the Bucket, but not Flickr? Strange. I have filled a few pb accounts, but prefer flickr... and I've paid for a two year subscription :)

 

Serves you right, mucking about on the internet in the boss's time (pot, kettle->black) :wink:

 

Seen just now, a 1982 Escort, same owner since '84:

oh you're just teasing me now, first a GSA and now a low-owners mk3 Escort! And you can't just tell me about a 4F6 when I'm not able to see the pics!Still, home time soon (yes this is being written in work hours, despite my previous post being made strictly on my lunch break)

I was gonna harp on about how there used to be a red beetle van in Jersey with an oval back window, and were they a factory model, blah blah...

But your one is famous!
