Cheggers Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hey Bram just noticed the pic of the hideous Calibra pickup thing, I have a pic of the same (must be the same, surely) up for sale around the corner from my place. That guy often has interesting chod for sale, his current "deal of the day" is a crusty old Saab 900 convertible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreepingJesus Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Great spots there; I didn't think a Metro would ever get my attention, but that banana yellow GT-a is a little bit special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Oh, my god: that collection of spots is stunning. The (quite probably special order) GTA Metro is quite special; I've always fancied one. The Uno: I've had a C-reg (60S) in that colour. The GL5 with the slow rear puncture need some love. The ADO16 is lovely, as is (despite my inverted snobbery of all things Bee-Emm) the BMW. However, it's the CPTC Renault 5 GTL that leaves me spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
