My pre-facelift Corolla meets a facelift friend in the supermarket car park.

'Spotted' is stretching it a bit but don't have a photo of my three together. In my defence, one of mine is in the photo below.

I think one of these siblings is adopted.

Two of my three below - not an atypical situation. I really need to get them sorted.

There are probably more but the MGFs were the most memorable.

Some I have created with my own cars upon spotting a FRIEND

Do my own motors count? They're basically the same except one had a big old turbo strapped to it 😅

At one point I had two identical Fabia vRS's - running the same wheels, suspension and similar plates. The Black one was my daily and the Yellow one was (and still is) a show pony.

Black one now dead and broken for spares sadly.

I'm cheating somewhat here, but it's not every day you see three chestnut brown/sealing wax red 23 window barndoor Duluxes in this country, especially when two are RHD

Finding some hen's teeth sitting in a pile of rocking horse poo is more likely

WHAT are those??

Some kind of 40`s Yanks! Everything from that period looks very similar to me.

By the grille the red one looks like some sort of a Chrysler.

The grey/blue one is a Chevrolet, a Fleetmaster I think, and according to the DVLA, was taxed this month!

So, unfortunately, not twins, in fact arch rivals.

My BX found a base model friend. Apart from the trim, everything else is the same. Taken just before Crimbo '21 IIRC.

Because it's the law. Never did quite catch the Mk4 or get all 4 types in a line though.

Almost confused myself with this one.

I'm informed this is also the law but I don't drive a Bini so cannot confirm. For bonus points note the lorries in the background :D

Not strictly twinned as it's a DAF and a Merc but I usually had either 2 DAFs or 2 Scanias in the yard at any one time, just don't have any photos of it happening!

OK, that's bloody weird.

My other half's black BINI has this reg (and previously had it on an R56)...

When we went to look at another Carmine Red S-reg Maxi in a scrapyard

Maxi twins

And this pair are on a driveway near me, neither having moved for some time

Bentley pair

I have plenty of twin photos from shows but that's too easy.

Some more on the road. It can't be a coincidence that these were travelling together.

Zephyr and Zodiac

 

Toyota Hiaces

Bonus BINI with the proper Minis

Minis (and a MINI)

 

Acadiane and 2CV

Marinas were on a road run to celebrate the type's 50th birthday

What's with the random bird of prey in the Marina photo, is that real?

If that's near Gaydon (which would make sense for a Marina orgy) there's a fella round our way that sells carved wooden animals. I wonder if he set up on that road to attract passing sex offenders Marina owners

It's in Buckingham, about 30 miles from Gaydon and that's where the Marinas were heading. He could be the same chap, he's been there on that roundabout a few times selling various carvings but seems to travel around. Very talented guy who does it all by eye with a chainsaw.

That bloke in Texas did all his chainsaw work by eye as well.

I'm failing to think of a decent acronym for BTE (Betina)?  F10 is my wife's (Fiona) and the BTE was likely a tourist/visitor as we pretty much 'know' all the Binis in the locality (in fact we 'know'  most cars of note - like the lush K reg Citroen BX that I covet and see once a month or so)

this sort of shit happens fairly often, probably keeps the neighbours amused*
