Brighton Spots - 2014 OMG

6,841 · May 3, 2012

Top spotting there, Barrett, you need to get out more! The 6-bags Landcrab isn't even that old, it's 1970. The Husky's been off the road for at least the past decade, which is a shame, and that early V4 Saab has been off since 2006 (hence the relatively recent font number plate). Interesting offset-cyclops take on the low-light Moggie Minor too...

Looks like the Ital van is ex BT as well, for added shite points.

Ace spots Barrett

Has that 525 just clipped Terrys 635?

Top spots Mr Barret O' Tache!

I sometimes view peoples spotted threads as a "what would I like on MY driveway?" challenge.....and this time I'm torn between the OMGR84DRIFTIN Levins or the Escort Van.

Does that make me a bad person?

I bet that Cobra is a real cheatah, it's probably got a 1.6 4 cylinder behind that almost convincing 'grille'.
