Hirst Cabs at "the local show"

[Guest]

About time I got pics up from this event, it was like July or August or something. Whoops.

 

 

2000 was parked near me, old boy owner.

 

 

Shouldn't laugh really, but I did. Soz fellas!

 

 

LOTUS ESPRIT TURBO CHALLENGE (Spectrum 128K)

 

 

This turned up last year I think.

 

 

Quite like Midgets. Wouldn't have one.

 

 

Spitfire parked at a "sporty angle".

 

 

"Just-a one Cornetto, geev eed to me-" "That'll be £3.50" "You what?"

 

 

CRACKING TOAST GROMIT

 

 

Top colour-combo if you ask me.

 

 

Delboy used to have a Velox.

 

 

Didn't have a Corvette though. Unless that's in one of the new ones. I didn't like them.

 

 

Shame these have been lost to the linedancers, I like a good Cadillac.

 

More to come!

[shite_meister]

Ah man that Lotus is lovely, I've always loved those more so than the softer facelifted Esprit mmm very nice.Volvo looks very tidy dunnit.

[Guest]

 

Almost Autoshite-spec Triumph Estate.

 

 

SLAMBULANCE

 

 

AEC Mantador, I quite like old lorries (except when they're delivering a circus).

 

 

Nice 348, rubbish plate.

 

 

Lotus Cortina not on Minilites.

 

 

GAH! Not YOU again.

 

 

"2 Unlimited" CD stored behind the grille for when he needs emergency access to some pumpin' choonz.

 

 

Don't you know there's a war on?

 

 

I drive past this with alarming regularity.

 

 

THUMBS UP to Chevettes! Top owner.

 

 

I'd like to drive one of these around and sneer at everyone whilst puffing on a huge cigar.

 

 

Lovely HA.

 

 

FREE SWEETZ

 

 

Mad colourscheme on this, which you can barely see. Soz.

 

 

"Yeah, turn left at the rubbish Charmant and you'll be there"

 

 

Jim Bowen takes his rubber-bumper Midget for a spin.

 

 

SUPERB! If Autoshite ever had a Manta, it'd be this one.

 

 

Though I doubt they'd have this super-clean 244.

[VWPowered]

has to be this for me

 

 

i love the ol' triumph estates

[michiel]

Souperb! Thank you, Hirst Cabs & Captions.

[Guest Tony Hayers]

360, QUAL FOR MID KORNER LUFT OFF OVERSTEERVery nice collection of snaps Hirst, Chevette does it for me though. 2 door and brown = +++++++ triple shite points

[Guest]

More still to come.

 

 

Daimler version for a change.

 

 

JAVELIN! I like these.

 

 

Vicsmith has driven this, it's got a 2-litre swap and is meant to drive very nice. The stickers are removable.

 

 

Mint Z.

 

 

RICH PEOPLE.

 

 

RS500 apparently.

 

 

Suppose you can't have a local classic car show without a Dolomite.

 

 

The other 244DL was enough, but CRIKEY.

 

 

Hey watch out, mk14dr is here and he's going to CHIN someone.

 

 

And Nev off other forums. He probably won't.

 

 

Rover "4500S". With a heavily tuned up SD1 engine. Most curious!

[Guest]

 

HI M8 I FINK U SHUD RATLOOK IT MATT BLACK

 

 

Hooligan!

 

 

I love ignoring all the fancy stuff to take photos of things like this. GR8 4 DUMPING TYRES IN BEAUTY SPOTS

 

 

Oh no, gypsies!

 

 

Thunderbirds are go!

 

 

Roverdose.

 

 

Shite fans rejoice - it's a Marina Coupe.

 

 

I wonder if owners of these get really wound up if you call them an Allegro?

 

 

Excellent! Another "internet person".

 

 

JDM INNIT, HONDA MUGEN SPOON

 

 

And here's a Civic more suited to my tastes.

 

 

Alan Partridge.

 

Still a few more, then I'm done and I can have my breakfast at last.

[Gompo]

Good pics and commentary Hirst!

 

I saw this and for a split second I thought the 'sunstrip' thing said 'CLIVE', which would have been 1000% cooler. Nevermind.

 

[Station]

Had that e-type had a burst hose or something? The owner looks a little dismayed.

[mk1_4dr]

Nice pics, and captions. Where have those two months gone Bah.

Is it bad that Im looking forward to next years already?

 

The spec sheet for this was quite impressive, a real gentlemans sleeper (well it would be if it was a P5b)

 

[Anglevan]

Heres a shot of that marina taken in Horbury

 

 

And that beige Allegro (sorry VP) is my neighbours car and a sound chap he is too

 

oh and great pics by the way I could not be bothered to take any on the day

[Spottedlaurel]

Yikes - the P6 has a 4.5 V8 yet braking consists of merely new pads and discs...

[Guest]

Here's the final lot.

 

 

Reasonably tidy old Micra. Wasn't part of the show, but I made it that.

 

 

Nice Wolesley. There was some guy on a forum with a Wolesley, he was a bit of a moron unfortunately.

 

 

One for the management.

 

 

Fire engine was not required in the end.

 

 

AEM Scout, it's basically a Mini Moke, but when it speaks it sounds like it's asking a question, even when it isn't.

 

 

Scumbag-spec Cortina. Great!

 

 

Fiat 126, great for 360 spins.

 

 

Volvo Amazon owned by forum member "oldskool1977".

 

 

Roverdose innit.

 

 

Marcos Mantis still looks like some mad car from the future.

 

 

Justin Lee Collins presents Bring Back... DeSoto. Perhaps.

 

 

Nice Amazon owned by the music legend Scatman John.

 

 

A neat and stylish way of hauling around boxes of rotting meat.

 

 

Look at the guy on the right, I don't think it would be possible to be more wistful-looking.

 

 

Super-concours Capri. However.....

 

 

Here's something we can all get behind. Probably best not to get behind it when it cracks up though, unless you want a face full of fumes.

 

And that's your lot. I'm done.

[retrogeezer]

Great pics & captions Hirst - a most agreeable start to the morning!

 

Love this Civic S:

 

[Split_Pin]

Superb pics and thread Hirst, its definitely the yellow Volvo 244 for me.

 

 

However, theres nothing quite like this sight of a rotting Freight Rover/LDV

[Gompo]

 

..This was following me a couple of weeks ago on the M1.

 

I was well aware of them being ugly cars but thought in the metal they could have had some coherence or something that worked.

 

..No.

Yeah, the Corgi model flattered it somewhat!
