Brammys spots. Round up from the past 6 months.

[maestego]

nice photos

[Mash]

I reckon the Cavalier and caravan combo is one of the best photos I've seen all year!

[brammy777]

Time for some more, Ive had a bit of luck recently, but I have been getting out more with the spotting.

155V6 will recognise this.

Id say I am happy with the amount of tat round here....

[garycox]

That Mini City is AMAZING!

[barrett]

I was gonna say the same thing about the Mini van, proper time warp that.

I saw your Mini's double again yesterday Gary, it's an old boy that owns it surprise, surprise!

[keef]

I was gonna say the same thing about the Mini van

 

Yep: you certainly don't see many mini vans around these days!

Where was it?

 

I must get mine back on the road soon! When I can finally sell the Metro I'll spend whatever I get for that on the Mini. I've been meaning to get on with it for about 4 years now though... It doesn't even need much.

[155V6]

155V6 will recognise this.

Looks like my road,at around 3.00-3.30 pm?

[brammy777]

Blimey 155v6, it was taken at 3:17! Im betting the owners are fairly old, according to the numberplate it was most likely sold in Fleet too! Fleet is good fo spots... that car park in the town centre and Library car park attract all sorts, I missed out on a Silver Montego Estate as well. There is also a Prairie I see every time I go there.

[155V6]

I guessed the time as I hardly recognised any of the cars in the picture,which meant that most of them belonged to parents dropping off or picking up their kids from School.There was a Nissan dealer in Fleet a few years ago,so the Bluebird could well be a local car.Pity the square-shaped Proton wasn't at home,it would have been in the background of your picture

[Gompo]

Good work Brammy.

 

Did you take this at Bloodstock? Or another festival?

[brammy777]

Well time for an update again it seems, Im having alot more time to go out now. Apologies if any of this has been spotted previously, especially the London stuff, which Im sure RL has spotted before me. Credit to them where applicable.

Certainly been having a bit of luck recently when it comes to spots, along with the fact I have way more free time means I am getting more shots than ever before, heres hoping you see something of interest amongst this lot. Obviously most of these are from Basingstoke/London.

[Split_Pin]

 

Is this a museum of some sort? If so, its one I'd like to visit.

[Gompo]

Metro was my favourite, NOB.

[vicsmith]

This thread never disappoints. As a whole it's probably one of the best things on the internet.

[pogweasel]

OMG POLONEZ PRIMA.

 

"Prima" trim added weller-style wheels and faux-walnut door-cappings.

 

Not sure if that one should also have a lower chin spoiler, or if they were added when the boot flap was extended to the bumper in about 1990...

[VWPowered]

jjjjjjjjjjjjaggggggggggg

[brammy777]

Tar for the kind comments, there must be something in the air right now as there seems to be quite a healthy amount of shite out at the moment, Im discovering local cars Ive never even seen before.... And the Musuem with the Polonez is Atwell Wilson, the very place discussed as a meet venue down south.

Anyway have some more.

[Guest]

Atwell Wilson looks like a better kept version of Stondon. Presumably the terrifying doll diorama is absent as well.

[Lord Sterling]

As ever, G=great pics Bram. I'm warming to the pov-spec 1.8 Carlton, for some reason I like pov-specs as well as top-spec cars.

 

Civic 125, I remember 'Father Sterling' buying one of these a few years back from an auction in Belguim. At the time, a younger, pre-shite me wondered why the hell he bought it and why he couldnt have bought the mk1 800 Fastback or something a little more modern. 'Father Sterling' was to go on to buy more old Jap rammle after (And still does)

 

Re; Monza, I've always wondered what they are like to drive, first time I saw one when I was little I thought it was a the bigger faster, more posher version of the mk2 Cavalier.

[CreepingJesus]

Some great spots here, bud. I'll have the XJS with the Lister (or Lister-alike) headlights. Verrr nice. I can see the point in people owning cheap old, economical cars in London - but the VW Trekker? A bumper box of e-cookies for that person, and their defiant individuality!

They're quite civilised, if you're just pootling about; makes nice noises and feels solidly comfy. They'll eat motorways all day, at 100+; pushing on round the A-roads requires a couple of brave pills.

Having said that, they're quite predictable, and easy-going, but they'll never get close to hot-hatch dartiness. Typical big German sports-tourer to be honest.

[Mr Lobster]

GR8 pics Bram_a_lot. Atwell Wilson place looks pretty interesting. Definately on the list of places I need to go.

[Gompo]

Looks like you crossed the border on to my ex-manor.

 

 

2.5 years ago:

 

 

Did you notice if there was another 340s on the drive aswell? I tried get them in my shot but you cant really see it.

[trigger]

Do you have a camera on you 24/7 Brammy?! I wish i could photograph everything i see like you can.

 

Amazing thread by the way, That museum is one place I'd love to visit as well.

[brammy777]

Okay so I was going to wait until the next update to put this one in, but my god, I first saw this car a few months back on the way to Tadley, and I have been hoping to see it ever since.

1980 Ford Escort MKII 1.3 L Saloon. by bramm77, on Flickr

Local plate, no sunroof, and it never turns at up at shows, so I wonder what the story could be. One owner perhaps!
