Station Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 There's one of those Subaru Justy's in the local scrapyard. Not sure if they're rare or not? It hasn't been 'forklifted', but the interior is a little 'damp'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompo Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Can we avoid having pics taken at wanky angles, with crap filters/effects and reflections of cars in hubcaps/door mirrors/chrome bumpers etc?...Just natural shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 That's a shame about the wanky angles Gompo, I wanted to make my tedious "that car must have a good handbrake" remark. I liked my Carpocalypse Now photos from the Isle of Rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Some class photos there. I was going to put up a load of close-ups of highly-polished car badges but if we're not doing any arty bollocks I dont think i'l bother, have this autoshite 'boating holiday cruiser' instead: And an untaxed Bristol seen at Portmeirion ages ago.

Electric Leyland Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 If it's restrictred to photos taken by yourself as opposed to lifted off the net then here's my 3 entries: Daily driver taken on holiday in downtown Sofia, Bulgaria Another daily, taken on holiday in Amsterdam: And in Leicestershire countryside: But if it's a photo sourced from anywhere, then I'd be starting with this from my collection...

Guest Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I haven't spotted anything truely shocking yet. The closest I can get is the A35 (rubbish with this era of Austin) that I spotted in Totterdown, Bristol, on the hill adjacent to Windsor Terrace where Being Human is filmed. That be my submission, as it's a daily driver and looked a bit shagged. Still cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
