Some Devon cream......update today....

[Hudsonpie]

Bram, that Scania is the baby of the fleet, they have a five axle wrecker as well called The undertaker. Is lovely with all the airbrushing etc but I'd rather see a thirty year old Daf any day...

Some more from around the village.....the first five are from Tescos carpark...

Just missed this scruffy Stag...

[Captain Mainwaring]

Unlucky with the Snag, what is visible of it looks delightfully tatty.There's been a recent surge of shite activity around my neck ot' woods so I'll have to crack the camera out and find the cable for it.

[Hudsonpie]

Have missed loads of good ones lately....including that tatty Stag....there is a flourescent green Mondeo "cruizin" around here with all sorts of ghastly accessories glued to it including the tallest spoiler ever......I keep missing it.....here are a couple to make amends......

Marina Coupe is mint and has just had new wings fitted, the old ones were not bad, matey is fussy.....

I saw this while the missus was driving, I spotted it out of the corner of my eye and said I wanted to nip back for a pic. Now if I was driving I would have either reversed along the road if it was clear or quickly done a three point turn to go back....job done......oh no.... we had to drive through two housing estates and an industrial estate so she could turn around......

[barrett]

Oooh....not sure which one I like better! Both so awesome, good spotting.

Cannon commercials used to have a detroit two stroke diesel (8v92) powered Bedford TM recovery lorry in the late 80's early 90's named 'The Detroit hooker', you could here it approaching quite some time before it came into view with its straight through exhaust stack I can also recall an elderly 'normal control' Scania named something like 'Yamir' which was apparently a giant in Swedish folklore, I think, but this was about 20 years ago

[Hudsonpie]

Jees I remember the TM from when I was a lad.....I wonder what happened to it....I will pop into Cannon for a mooch as its only up the road from me and thier wreckers are always immaculate. They are based at Heathfield, used to be a good chod hunting ground

I once worked at Wessex Leyland/DAF (Wessex DAF in later years) just around the corner from where Cannon commercials are now, when I first started there Cannon commercials were in a workshop next to the roundabout on the Old Newton Road in Bovey Tracey, and I recall they ran a Minivan and MK1 Astravan as service vans at the time, I believe Cannon is still under the same ownership from all those years ago, and 2 of the fitters from those days now work at Wessex.....

[Hudsonpie]

Yeah I remember the Vans, crikey that takes me back.....the Old Newton road site has been re-developed since Cannon moved to Heathfield. Its now home to a self store place and a bus company,plus some other little businesses. The site now runs almost as far as Bovey, I think as well Cannon use a yard on a bit of land that has been opened up behind where the huge Potters yard scrap yard used to be.

[VWPowered]

that marina is delightful, good on him for being fussy

[Hudsonpie]

Had forgotten about these, had a row with the wife late yesterday and ended up going for a stroll......the chod made me feel better, so did eight cans of Stellas finest.....which made me forget the pics.......

Opposite the Rover is a tatty bungalow which is home to a tatty Saab 900 Turbo, minus back window. I was in the drive trying to get a pic when the owner stuck his face upto the window.....I did'nt want to get eaten so I scarpered....will go back......

More....

Saved the best till last....yum....

[pogweasel]

Great pics, poor choice of beverage. Please imbibe something less oafish next time!

[Hudsonpie]

LOL Pog it was on special offer.... and I was cheesed off so I had a midweek spesh sesh. Here is some more crud to make amends, from this mornings school run......

The Z28/IROC Camaro in the last pic has been there for years, they are not for sale according to the blue rinse that runs the hair "salon" that I had to go past to take the pic. I wanted to go right in as on the left of the shot is another Camaro of earlier vintage, but they dont like visitors and miss nothing. I wonder whats in the barns as well....

[Hudsonpie]

It started like this....."Hey Hud wanna go car spotting.....?"

....beats watching fucking Gigglebiz....

It went downhill after that, here are the results...

Tidy Rover's rent ran out in 07, nobody home though...

[Hudsonpie]

More.....

MG was well ropey up close....

I hope this Volvo had good suspension, the woman driving it was definately STGO CAT 3...

Keep missing this stag, has had a wash and the owner throttled up while I was taking the pic....sounded nice though...

And a couple the wife took on her phone....

[Hudsonpie]

Some more....firstly this Mini, looked innocent enough but I could hear it was running straight cuts and it sounded a bit throaty. Followed it onto a dual carriage way and matey booted it I struggled to keep up.....made me smile as it still had its automatic badge......

MGF has'nt moved for a while....

Quite a varied selection, Tiny-pic seems to be resizing them funny....might be me though......

[shite_meister]

 

These Mini-based 'things' are very rare and very horrible.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice to see this still parked there, it always caught my eye back in the mid-late '90s.

[barrett]

At the risk of being strung up and ceremoniously whipped, I really like that grey MGBGT on steels...

[55bloke]

How come about a third of these pics are showing up as not available? I absolutely LOVE that Sunbeam Rapier!!

[keef]

How come about a third of these pics are showing up as not available?

you mean?

 

I assume it's because the image in question has been moved or deleted?

[Hudsonpie]

Shite-meister, yeah he's had thet Mini for years. He keeps messing about with different wheels etc, I like it as it is....

Thats a bugger, I can see 'em ok just been re-sized funny....I have no idea what is going on.........

Heres some from today.....

Also saw a mint Orion 1.6 GL, but fucking tinypic is playing up.....I wondered if I was trying to post too many at one time....never had any bother before.......

[504GL]

Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Clio Williams? YUM if so.

[Heep]

Love that Type-R! One of my teenage dream machines, they were.

[Hudsonpie]

504, Yeah its a williams, there are two around the village the one in the pic is a minter....the other one is a bit tatty.

Here are some more from today. The Audi in the first pic I found on my missus's phone, thats me having a good nose about. I loved this car and would have happily sat staring at it for hours.......but I had to take the kids for a walk......

Some more from Teignmouth, lots of good chod in seaside towns.....

More to follow......

[Hudsonpie]

Here they are....

Very nice....

Not so nice.....

Fucking awful....

[Hudsonpie]

Tinypic is being a twat and only letting me have one size....or I'm being thick......anyway....some more....

Sunny Coupe is lovely......

Had a nice E30 Tourer in the rear view mirror on the way home....

[Hudsonpie]

UUUMMMMM......now they are coming out better......

It would'nt let me post this tidy Orion earlier......

.....so here it is now....

[keef]

Never used it, so don't know.Why don't you use Photobucket; that always does a good job for me, or Flickr, if you can be arsed to post the URL (it's a bit "hidden").

[brammy777]

Isnt that Audi one of those V8 quattro saloons? I love them, really stood out in the range back then.Havent seen a Sunny coupe for ages, but saw a lovely gold saloon today.Good spots!

[Guest]

At the risk of being strung up and ceremoniously whipped, I really like that grey MGBGT on steels...

I love it as well. I love MGBs on steels. If it has the massive steering wheel and red interior, er......it'd be spot on.

[VWPowered]

 

lol that looks so funny, again i like the early MGB too
