Here we go, all 31 pictures i took today.

ANOTHER graffitti'd T1, still taxed.......

One of the last last last MGBs, i actually like this.

Love these, but not keen on the wheels.

Mega early MKII, shame about grille.

Beautiful.

Apparently needs immediate VIC check. Oh dear.

Want one so bad, 2L pinto in this.

And I love these.

Woah, survived the export!

Common sight in London.

Nice! Think this and the next few may have been spotted by EL previously......

I want to know what this is doing there.

Havent seen a Clubman for ages.

Sweeeeeeet.

I like these, my aunt had one and it was faultless.

Gorgeous.

All time favourite BMW.

Lovely and clean.

Yes! Wanted to spot one for yonks.

Too big for my camera. Damn.

A surviving Escort MKIV in a shade of blue which isnt Olympic blue.

Flat paint ftw.

Winmobile, not a GHIA X sadly.

Oldest one i saw out of hundreds in London. The 5 doors look really weird....

Thats it, phew.

GR8 spots, Bramster-san. The red Sierra GLS on the previous page has been around for years in the same place - I've never actually clocked the badge to note it was a 4x4, so presumably a 2.9.

Now this...

...I see parked along Great Portland Street every time I go to my employer's offices there. Never seen the owner, but I'd like to think he* has a trilby and a pipe present at all times.

* I've never met a lady with these affectations, but that's not to say they don't exist.

Do tell me where this one is, because I ought to know and can't remember and it's really pissing me off.

Thats near camden town underground station, you cross the road and go up that section in between the shops, and theres a road with a T junction on it, its on the right of the junction. Theres 3 vans with graffiti on, the others are a 310D and a smiley Transit.

Ah, yep I can actually make out the Levin badge on the grille now.I don't know, calls himself an OJCer....

32,250 · December 28, 2009

A Corolla Levin i beileve but it must be pretty gutless with only having a 1600cc engine.

Was going to say its probably somewhere Camden way as all/most of those pictures are around abouts there/Mornington Crescent/Chalk Farm.Some familiar cars there. I'm sure I've seen that Herald about. Number plate rings a bell. The late B on crusty wires too.R. Welf, There's a Saab of that era parked near Ickle_Seth's school and I only ever see it being driven by a woman.

Good spots, I think I recognise the Herald too.

Correct Seth! The ones beginning with the Sierra are from around Bond street area.Manical drivers round there.I was going to go round some other areas, but engineering work on the tube put a stop to that. When i next go to London in mid january ill go to some other areas, probably the more well off ones.

Great spots mate if I could take one it would be the DS

The vans are on Arlington Road - the smiley Transit can be seen on Google Street View

Im obsessed.

No more London trips for a little while, well maybe when i have the odd friday off(my college is really doing that alot at the moment).

Pictures in groups of 10 to make it easier.

The only shite ALWAYS in Odiham, owned by the same guy for yonks now.

The N13 saloons are nice looking.

Following Basingstokes rule of parking up against pole/wall.

Early swift.

If this were white, it would be identical to our old one.

Bloody lovely.

The best looking ferrari in my eyes.

An early one?

Gorgeous

Credit to EL for this as he got it first, but its bloody buff.

2.5k · January 3, 2010

Minor. Eh, only one I saw.

I like them.

Eats fuel and money.

DVLA sez 1997, big mistake.

Still fairly common.

Ooooops.

Yay for DS

Another Sierra. Sorry guys.....

Anuvva DS

Bet this smells of damp.

Not visible is the guy in the corsa staring at me.....

Not seen one for a while.

Nice colour, old Mercs are 10 a penny in London.

Civic shuttles are weird and awkward looking, which is excellent.

Shite since they were made.

Pleasingly clean.

JDM DRIFT YO

Yes, thats what we like to see.

In 30 years time they should hold contests for 80s/90s red car which is now the brightest hue of pink.

Pretty much a base model.

A week since my last update? God its hard to keep this up with icy pavements. Probably going London this weekend to try and spot some more stuff but heres my latest anyway:

CALLING VOLKSY...

Do we still need a donor for the blue heap???

Sun glare ruined the front shot, OMGZ MY LEGZ.

Fuck off sun.

Noice. See more vans than actual Maestro cars now.

Recent TG made me love em a bit more.

Looks like an XR2 from a distance....

Was in such bad condition!

A GT apparently, which so I hear didnt really do much to speed or anything else for that matter..

Thats all. PHEW.

Also, to people in Hampshire, do you know if theres alot of tat in Alton?

17,521 · January 3, 2010

Nice spots, that Amazon is totally epic. I would love to blat about in a ropey old shed like that. Also something brilliant about a really tatty merc saloon that gets me slightly excited.

4,587 · January 3, 2010

Yep that Volvo is brilliant, right down to the plates, love it. Nothing cheers me more than to see a slightly tatty 60s motor out and about.

+1 for the Gaffazon, what a car.

GT was a run-out model to clear stocks for the Mondeo turning up. Added a rear spoiler, five-spoke alloys, sporty wheel and seats and a few electric gizmos. Not a bad spec but you're right, the 'GT' had the bog standard 2.0 DOHC so speed wasn't a standard feature.

I saw this behind Harrods a bit before Christmas. The damage seemed fairly fresh then. Compared to the BMW whatever-it-is behind, the Mondial doesn't look big enough to fit adult people in.
