What the! Oscar the Grouch can't walk around in his bin, that's ridiculous.

And since when did The Cookie Monster have a ring in his little finger?

from the proceeds of selling raw cookie on the street

My mate's missus was talking to Capt Sensible on a diesel enthusiasts rail trip last weekend.

[Mash]

Allegro Panda on this Jam album:

 

Also, the hearse is a Mk1 Granada 3.0 and in the picture next to the record player, 2 Capris can be seen parked in the street through the window. All this only really shows up if you look closely at the vinyl sleeve.

 

Bad news about the Cresta, I`d always wondered but never been able to get a clear enough shot of the reg to check properly.

I've been a fan of this one since 'Loaded' magazine alerted me to its existence a few years ago. But whats the car? 70's 'GT man' Maserati perhaps

 

[barrett]

pretty hard to tell in that pic but it doesn't look like a real car to me.... i'd need to see the 12x12 version to be sure though.....where's michiel when you need him eh?

[vicsmith]

What the! Oscar the Grouch can't walk around in his bin, that's ridiculous.

I don`t think that`s his regular bin, it looks too small, it must be his going-out bin, what a freak!Also, why is Big Bird wearing a lab coat?

[The Liberator]

It's a Ferrari 365GTC/4.

[angorabedsock]

Top call on Lush - 500!

 

Fabulous song and video:

 

 

Also featured are a Jag XK120, Golf MK3 and a MK1 Laguna

 

Great band. Hearing this song always makes me smile and cheers me up no end.

Hey youre absolutley right!

 

 

Pretty unusual styling that, dont think i've ever seen one. I like it!

[michiel]

Shite Daytona yeah, that's it... I haz been useless this time, sorry barrett!

[barrett]

I'm disappointed in you young man!

call me crazy, but i much prefer the styling of those to the Daytona....

 

As i haz mostly been enjoying Miles Davis today, here's the Japanese pressing of his Jack Johnson LP

any idea what the motor is?

[michiel]

I love how his band's all dressed up in women's clothes.Early Voisin? Or maybe a generic 1920s car...

[155V6]

[AXrescuer]

 

Jag?

[barrett]

ooh I'm a bit obsessed with Blue Note album design, i could spend hours looking through them. Annoyingly the small selection i own on vinyl don't feature any motors, but here some more that do!

 

 

(currently listening to Andrew Hill's superb 'lift every voice')

 

and here's something altogether more 'shite that i spotted today, no idea what the music is like though

[michiel]

I quite like Beirut's music, pretty quiet and folky and quite a lot of brass.

[fotorabia]

10CC.How Dare You?..

The Carpenters.Now&then.

The compulsory Autobahn-KRAFTWERK

The Sandie Shaw Supplement with supplied Lamborghini Miura SV

[pogweasel]

That Transplants record is the bollocks!

[binhoker668]

No vehicular image, granted. However if you know the lyrics, you'll know why it applies to me! Always causes chuckles/fear when it comes on in the motah...

Cannae beat early Antz shizzle....

[Guest greenvanman]

One of my favourite albums...

 

 

There's a picture of what looks like an old Skoda on the back cover as well, but I can't find it anywhere online (and I'm far too lazy to scan my copy).

[barrett]

Ha! i've got that car trouble 7", but the LP version is much better IMHO.The ending of that song is a right pain to DJ with.... don't think i ever got it right!

[Station]

Has this been done yet?

 

 

 

Austin Westminster.

 

Car as it stands today:

 

 

Today, the car in which Thích Quảng ÄÂức traveled to his self-immolation is parked at Huế's Thien Mu Pagoda.

[HillmanImp]

Where is the engine in them? I assume it was in the front but why is the bonnet up? Surely they got the petrol out of the back?

[Station]

I've often though that. Strange place to store it I would've though.Maybe he was adjusting the points prior to his sacrifice? Giving the spark plugs a quick re-gapping before his untimely death?Can I say I played this album to death and went through 3 CD's. I saw them in 1993 and it was a 'life changing moment'.
