Pieman Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Last couple of weeks... Wolseley 16/60 outside my local social club. 205 GTi spotted through the window while paying for petrol. Next three were seen within a couple of minutes of each other. Not many early Vectra V6s about now. Literally as I turned round from taking the above pic, this appeared. Beefy Beemer, dunno if the lights and plate are smoked or just mucky. Snapped cos it had no badges and I wasn't sure at first what it was. (Daihatsu Sirion.)

MiniMinorMk3 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 That Wolseley reminds me of what all the old giffers used to do come the frost, wrap the grille in foil in readiness for cooking the turkey, or in other words, it's a make-do-and-mend grille muff.

High Jetter Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Was common. For some, a fitted textile (leather?) version was available, sometimes with zips so you could peel down the middle portion. (Wolsely/Riley 1.5s come to mind) You have a problem with muffs?

Pieman Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Let's have an update... Penistone Plastic Pig - note the stickers on the shop window in the background, I think they used to sell Reliant spares. Next few from around Kent (Aylesford/West Malling area). Badly parked Caddy. Crusty Crapri. Austin graveyard. Patchwork Scrote. Quantum kit car. Bus. Erm....no I don't know either. Tidy 205 GTi. Back to the Midlands - T25 outside my local railway station. Misery Machine.

Pieman Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Very nice Mk2 Scirocco - passed me after I'd walked further along the road and sounded quite fruity too. My phone clearly doesn't like taking photos at dusk, which is a shame cos this Volvo was mint. Not seen a Carina E in years.

Pieman Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 A few recent spots... A Disco-theque. 106 had at least two large dogs inside. Merc lurking near my girlfriend's place. Barried Bluebird. Pair of posh Beetles waiting to board the Eurotunnel. Belgian Mini estate, also at Eurotunnel. I think this is the same 205 GTi I posted earlier in the thread.

Pieman Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Now some spots from Poland over the weekend. First a small convoy of Polski-Fiats, showing my inability to take good photos from a moving car (I was passenger, don't worry). Mk2 Golf in Leszno. Mercedes van nearby, with hot air balloon. Jelcz truck, possibly an ex fire engine, watering the speedway track at Ostrow (where I was working). Iveco/Magirus fire engine. E28(?) 5-series. E36 wagon alongside. Chrysler Sebring soft top. Ukrainian Lada Samara. Saw a few others but wasn't able to snap pics, including another Jelcz fire engine in much better condition.

Pieman Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Couple of local spots.... Reliable old S70. Corolla outside the local pub. Fez and monster truck. High Jetter and Dyslexic Viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 Been a few months.... Nice Porsche spotted at Donington Park. Couple of spots from Portugal - I admit I didn't know what this one was at first, turns out it's a Ford Taunus 12M. Also from Portugal - this could have been one for the "Cars you didn't know existed" thread - a Chevrolet Alero, sold outside Europe as an Oldsmobile. And some cool trucks spotted at Donington Park back in August at Convoy In The Park. Dyslexic Viking and puddlethumper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Let's have an update shall we? Nice P4 in Tamworth. This was delivering potatoes to my local chip shop. Love an XJ. Barried E36. Traveller travelling. Another XJ. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Renault. (Based on a Master ambulance I believe, the local Rotary Club have been using this every Christmas for years.) Delectable Delica. 340 in the car park at Mallory Park. Not really shite but worth a spot - lurking Austin 7. Not many ZT estates about these days. OMGMGB with its roof down on a January evening, brave man! Clown car. Very clean Ka in the same car park as the XJ above.
