grogee Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Do you walk or drive past a place with two identical motors? Extra points for same colour, same spec etc. These identical Alfas are near me (Napton, Warks) and have inspired this thread. uk_senator, eddyramrod, Popsicle and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Back when I had my '93 Peugeot 405 Hunter TD estate in burgundy, I parked next to this '93 Peugeot 405 Hunter TD estate in burgundy. The owner of the other '93 Peugeot 405 Hunter TD estate in burgundy tried to unlock my '93 Peugeot 405 Hunter TD estate in burgundy and wondered why it wouldn't respond. I pointed out that he needed to try the next car over. Cue a stunned look from him. Much hilarity. And yes, that photo was indeed taken on a 0.02megapixel potato. That was state-of-the-art for a cheap early-2000s phone camera. Edit: the cars were IDENTICAL. Absolute carbon copies of each other. Same interior, same specification, same wheel trims, same radio even. The only thing to tell them apart was the registration and (if you look closely) the location of the tax disc in the windscreen. Other than that.. nothing to separate them. rainagain, Bamboocarman, worldofceri and 18 others 12 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markeh Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 My folks had two black PT Cruisers for a bit: Both black, but that's about all they had in common - the 55 was a 2.4 Touring auto with grey interior, the 53 was a 2.0 Classic manual with cream interior. Shortly after I got my first Qashqai, another blue one cropped up in the works car park, followed by a black one - not that surprising really although it was a fairly small company. I was strangely happy that I had the better specced one of the three. The parents of a lad I used to school with at one point had two matching brand new 59-plate C-Class Mercs - consecutive reg, both black, one estate one saloon, otherwise identically specced.

vulgalour Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 That time a friend visited with his near identical Maestro and we did a video. His girlfriend recently acquired another red Maestro with black metal bumpers so we'll need to get all three together at some point I think.

Brilliant workhorse over the decade he ran it for. The only issue he had was chasing oil leaks. He ended up spending a small fortune before the block was completely dry. I can only assume he must have parked it too close to a series Landie during the early days of his ownership which then gave it ideas.

mk2_craig Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 When I was a bit more prolific at uploading my shite spots on here (and to be fair when the supply of decent chod was a bit healthier) I used to see double spots all the time, Many are in some sort of Photobucket limbo but here's an example from that era. Must have been about fifteen or so years ago now which is scary! I think the best one I had was two blue Toyota Spacecruisers.
