LOL @ the Chavs in the Rover 25 also checking out the yellow wedge.

 

Hope I find a girl that has some sort of tolerance towards my habit of liking shit cars.

Someone's been to Marlborough!!! Polly Tea Rooms does the BEST carrot cake I have ever eaten. And I have eaten a LOT of cake.

We're over that way quite a lot, will have to sample the cake. This post was brought to you in association with Polly Tea Rooms.

Your wife has a great eye for spots. Some QUAL there.

[seth]

I've previously spotted that Capri in probably the same place.

 

Great shite spot spreading skills

[Spiny Norman]

We need women like her on this team, get her signed up !

[Station]

She's good! I know nothing about cameras, but the tone, the framing, the subject, c'est formidable!

[In The Pit]

A few more:

 

Renault

 

 

I heard he's crap in bed and she's only with him for his Renault 9

[Des]

I've seen that Capri as well, usually in Devonshire Street.

[Guest EccentricRichard]

Generic Luxury Vehicle

Hyundai XG300 if my memory serves me correctly. Now replaced by the actually rather good Genesis (RWD, V6 or V8, sounds good too).

 

 

Looks like Harley Street or somesuch? Just remember walking around that area one early evening before a concert at the Wigmore Hall.

[boobydoo]

Sorry, but there's no way ANY woman in the UK would have the slightest interest in photographing a Hyundai XG30 of her own free will.

 

What the hell have you done to her, you PERVERT!!!!

[synx508]

OK, this has me baffled. I can't work out what it's based on. My wife saw it today, in Devizes (Wiltshire's autoshite epicentre, obviously)

 

 

It's reassuringly 3-boxy.

[eddyramrod]

It's obviously one of these Japanese pastiches; supposedly a Bentley S2? I would guess it's a Corolla or some such underneath.

[HillmanImp]

Its one of these Micra jobbies isn't it?

[HillmanImp]

Based on a Nissan Crew apparently

Does anybody else quite like that, or is it just me?

[Negative Creep]

At least the rest of the car looks a bit more period, unlike a 1950's front stuck on a 1990's shape car

You're not alone, I'd quite happily roll that and enjoy then looks of sheer bewilderment as to what it is. Also, it looks more like a Bentley than a Chrysler 300C with some new badges.

[synx508]

Check this out!

 

 

There's something so right about the shape of this car.

[Volksy]

Monteverdi?

[michiel]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh that's nice. SUPERSPOT!

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

Check this out!

Super rare and wonderful! I tried to buy one long ago but when I went to see it I found the owner had taken it to bits and it was in boxes. I would have been mad to buy it but I still regret walking away from it in dark moments. I don't have the money now.

[seth]

Great spot! Somewhere in London?

[synx508]

Yes, it's London, Stanhope Terrace.

 

Wikipedia reckons only 192 made, which makes it a similarly rare italian thing to the synthesizer-shite my nickname refers to.

[barrett]

Fidia = megaspot. I've got a massive lob-on for that. That is all.
