[Captain Mainwaring]

That Viva is uber shite! I'd roll in that whip. BTW, the first fifteen or so aren't showing up (for me at least). Thanks for posting mate!

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

How odd, anyone else see the first 15 (they're hosted by Picturetrail rather than the Bucket).Yes Viva is total Shite - great car!

[Angrydicky]

I can see them all, and what great spots they are! Thanks for sharing. My favourites are of course the Viva, and that lovely Marina coupe. Never seen a Whizzkid on the road before I'm guessing from the registrations of some of the cars that you live on the Isle of Wight (nowhere near Luxton and District) When I visited in 2002 I was overwhelmed by the amount of tat there, always wanted to go back

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Yes you are correct IoW (luxton district)

[VWPowered]

great spots, werid colour that montego counrtyman.. i like it

 

i'm in dept 87 but dont know the car

[Captain Mainwaring]

Hmm, must just be this work's computer then. I'll have another gander when I get back!

[Minimad5]

Never seen a Whizzkid on the road before

Station has one , which he is trying to sell As already said - Great pictures and thank you for sharing

[barrett]

Funnily enough, I think i've seen that same exact Whizzkid parked up in Brighton, can't be many left in that colour?GR11 spots btw!

[brammy777]

That Viva is brilliant. Also, nice to see a MKI Sierra about, I swear most are Y plate.... My brother lives on the IoW, I need to visit him soon.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

 

Unsurprisingly, I love this. What a terrible old crock of shit! I would rather get bummed by a lepoard than drive round in it.

[meggersdog]

The triple headlight conversion on that XM is fantastic.I've never seen anything like it before.Oh,and the Viva looks just right.

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Yeah the front ain't much better:

 

 

And you thought all that stuff from Scrapheap Challenge was scrapped after the filming stopped eh?

 

That Whizzkid fing has also been spotted in Southampton recently too.

 

Some more for you to digest and the regurgitate with your thoughts...

 

 

 

Some clickable ones for you .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

^ Big Chief Rialto he go to big shed that is called B&Q and buy potting compost and low cost emulsion paint..

 

 

 

 

^^^ Look everyone it's Morrissey!!!

 

 

That's all for now.

 

Thanks for your kind comments to date and for making me feel so welcome, I like it here - it's daft!!

[HillmanImp]

Wow, what a bag of wank that Maestro is. Would love to park that on the road outside my Mums house. She is so Hyacynth Bucket, she would literally shit herself all over the plastic she has covering the carpets, worrying about what the neighbours will think seeing that pile of pov spec toss parked at her house.

[barrett]

pointless post, but I saw the yellow whizzkid again today in Brighton, looks like it's a mainland resident now.

carry on!

[Cavcraft]

Couldn't really stop due to inclement weather but think I stumbled across every Mk2 Golf left in the world today. Somewhere near the Horshoe Pass/Llandegla there's a dis-used (deliberately scene taxed?) garage the carpark of which is ram full of the fuckers.

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

I had an air-cooled shite spotting day today.

 

This VW (sorry don't know what model as I am stupid ).

 

 

Something what we used to call "Jap crap!" back in the 70's.

 

 

(lovely condition though).

 

And a black 'n' white Beetle:

 

[Minimad5]

That first VW i "Think" is a Karmann

I could be wrong

[Richard]

That first VW i "Think" is a Karmann

I could be wrong

You're right- about being wrong.

[Justin Case]

That first VW i "Think" is a Karmann

I could be wrong

You're right- about being wrong.

I think it is a Variant (estate version of 1600TL fastback). I also think that an early Porsche 911 has been sacrificed for its Fuchs alloys, but then I may also be wrong

[trigger]

Yep a Volkswagen 1600 Variant Estate, This is my wife's workmates '67.

 

 

 

Lovely looking cars, I'd much sooner have one of these then any other air cooled Dub.

[warren t claim]

IIRC those Honda CB200's were popular with wall of death riders for some reason.

[autofive]

long time since ive seen a cb200 on the road, and rare in green

 

my dad had a few in the early 80s, last one he had is still in his shed, but he wont part with it

[barrett]

Might I just add that the VW Variant is technically a Typ 36, and it'll be pre-1970 with those slim bumpers and sidelights. Known as a 'squareback' in the US, just to confuse matter. The fastback version is far and away my favourite VW design, witness:

I know where there's a P or R reg CB200 that looks identical to the one in the pic, it's done bugger all mileage and has a cable operated front disc brake . It's next to an S reg CB550/4.

[Split_Pin]

Great spots. I love the type 3 Fastback

Isle of Luxton registration number too. Things don't get much cooler than that do they?

[GJR 11L]

....Things don't get much cooler than that do they?

John Woo movies?

 

Car wise, probably not. Unless.........

 

'Leggy flight deck, c/w "Quartic" rudder, cool enough to freeze the gonads off a passing penguin.

 

 

Naughty Google, bad Google; I said "passing", not "flashing".

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

See what happens if you leave your Triumph Herald out in the street and then forget about it?

 

 

The cover rips (as it tries to break free) and then the numberplate makes a break for it too

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

All within 15 minutes this morning I saw these:

 

1979 Suzuki GS1100, which I believe was there first venture into multi-cylinder engines:

 

 

This Holland registered Jaguar Drop Head which I believe is an XK120;

 

 

This Renault Fuego:

 

 

^^^ very nice!

 

And then got followed by this bright red Metro:
