PieSpots: Shite Photos of Shite

[Pieman]

Not spotted anything for a bit as everything I have seen has been while driving, but today I had time for a walk...

Merc I snapped earlier in the thread has gained a friend.

And this Corolla is next door!

Red oxide.

The not-sure-if-it's-closed-or-not Rover garage has gained a new car too.

[Pieman]

Phone fixed, and this was waiting for me after picking it up.

[Pieman]

Crusty Corolla in Derby last week.

[Pieman]

Scrote.  

[Pieman]

Just caught this Fester as it went past while I waited to cross the road.  Bonus Punto as well.

 

[Pieman]

Did a couple of days work around Norfolk and Lincolnshire last week, saw an absolute shedload of spot-worthy chod but annoyingly these were the only ones I was able to get pics of.

These two were outside a restoration place, the SAAB was in beautiful period condition right down to its dealer stickers.

P100 spotted from the passenger seat of my colleague's car, near Wisbech iirc.

[Pieman]

A few from today.

When was the last time you saw rear lights like that?

Just caught this one as it left the lights.

Lovely condition.

Parked outside a curry house - wonder if it's the delivery car?

[bunglebus]

Oh god Lexus lights! Looked alright on a Lexus, and that's it

[Pieman]

In a nod to @Essex V6's recent purchase, have a rubbish photo taken at dusk.

[Pieman]

The current steeds of a serial owner of Yank shite.  (I think he's got another ginormous truck at the moment as well.)

Then by sheer coincidence, some modern Yank pickup shite parked up at the chippy down the road two minutes later!

Cast-offs from @stuboy's previous project?

[Pieman]

Merc at my local shops - just after I took this he proceeded to wheelspin all the way down a busy car park.  🙄

[Pieman]

Campervan shite spotted lurking in a sidestreet in Berwick upon Tweed yesterday. 

[Pieman]

How about this for some cool Ford shite?  Spotted in the paddock at Silverstone of all places.

[Pieman]

Been neglecting this thread lately, so it's time for a pic dump from the last few months...

Super clean cabrio parked outside a pub.

Lucky spot through the passenger window of my dad's car.

This hadn't moved for some time.

Micra and a little truck which I think is a Piaggio.

Dubber.

This looked like a one-owner-from-new.

Next lot are from a weekend in Bewdley.

One for the bus shite thread.

Classic car display at Bewdley station.

 

And some bonus shite in the car park.

Dodge van owned by a motorcycle racing team.

Local Saxo at dusk.

Neighbour's wedding Austin A135 Princess.

And some Farina beauty at a local Tossco.

Yes, Piaggio Porter pick-up. Some great pics there, especially Ethel ("don't look, Ethel") and that Marina Estate.

[Pieman]

Formatting question - should pic captions go above or below the associated pics?  What looks/reads better?

[Pieman]

Sadly my only decent spot from working in Spain in the last few days - an abandoned SEAT 600 in Sabadell.

I tend to put words before pics - the opposite of how a magazine works but seems to fit better when scrolling down the page

[Pieman]

A few recent spots...

Fanny Magnette (with a very noisy dog in the back!).

GORGEOUS '67 Impala - parked outside a Supernatural fans' convention at the NEC.  Pleased to see the owner had left the original patina instead of painting it black.

Rover 100 "1.1" - Doovla check reveals what appears to be an MGF conversion.

Here's Johnny!

And a slightly scruffy Defender to finish.

Massive exhausts are clearly still in fashion somewhere.

Same car park as the Scoob.

Subaru with trademark big exhaust and rusty rear wheel arch!

[Pieman]

I am currently working at the Motorland Aragon race circuit in northern Spain, and am staying in the nearby town of Alcaniz.  There is SO much shite-worthy stuff here I could fill an entire forum with spots - these are just what I got in a couple of hours yesterday, and there were loads more I didn't get because they were in motion, including at least one Renault Extra van, a couple of Golf GTis and the cleanest Peugeot 505 I've ever seen.

 

Amusing cutaway advert for a motor spares shop.

[Pieman]

Part two...

 

[Dyslexic Viking]

I envy people who live in climates where cars do not rust.

I was going to say, I envy people who live where petrol is cheap, but then looked up the places where it’s really cheap, Iran,Iraq, Venezuela  ……

A few from the last few months...

Super clean Beetle ragtop.

Horsebollocks.

Clean E36 coupe round the corner from my sister's new place.

This Cortina has apparently not moved for many years.

Late plate for a C15.

Couple of big ol' Mercs.

Dutton Sierra, I think.

ADO16 just caught as it whizzed past me.

Mk3 Disastra spotted at the local tip (taken with owner's permission).

OMG Honda Insight.

[High Jetter]

Beetle looks honest, despite the wheelz

[Pieman]

Here's a few from the last few months...

DS420 was a friend's wedding car.

Tidy Xantia at Tamworth services.

Hot rod filling up at my local supermarket.

Rough Prelude.

Super clean Cortina Crusader.

Now some Peugeots.

Belgian plated 406 Coupe spotted in France.

Rare 405 Le Mans edition, one of only about 500 produced - belongs to a Peugeot collector who lives near me as can be seen from the 306 and RCZ on the right.

French Granada.

[Pieman]

And this isn't really a spot cos it belongs to my uncle and he's been restoring it, but I thought you lot may like it.

[Erebus]

I recognise that Dutton Sierra.  It's just round the corner from where I live.  It was at the FOTU last year.
