epic pictures

[Electric Leyland]

What a coincidence! I saw this today in the most southern part of Amsterdam, over on the other side of the road, wishing I could have taken a pic... so thanks, excellent foresight!

 

It's a pleasure! Most southernmost part of Amsterdam, is that how far we'd wandered? I had no idea.

[Electric Leyland]

What´s that?

Ford Fairlane I think.

[seth]

Simply too many to comment on!

:|Theres so much shite in the past update! How do you see so much?! London must be the best place for shite spotting in the UK now.

[Rusty Pelican]

Truely magnificent spots , going back a few pages I always fancied a AMC Pacer , truely crap , too wide , too short and odd sized doors , class

[barrett]

Incredible! did you do anything other than spot cars on your hols?

the 'what is this?' a page back is a one-off aluminium bodied Austin-Healey special iirc, I cant seem to find any more info on it on the web though. I'll have a dig around later and try and find some other pictures....it's a really nice looking car.

 

edit: found it!

Well, we did actually think we'd headed West at the time!

Not really! Always got the camera to hand. Or in lap when driving, a lot of these pics were drive by shootings. Well done Mr Barrett on the AH ID, it was in a parade of about a dozen big Healeys. A few days earlier they had been used at the GP for the parade lap, one F1 driver per Healey. Glad you enjoyed the pics chaps. Spotted a mint Lotus Europa Special coming home tonight (got a photo), and Adam Ant in the local offie to boot! He was wearing full leathers and a bandana, and looked a bit wasted to be honest.

I just noticed, that Orion is a C plate, I havent seen a MKIV (Presumably) that old for a while, most of the early ones have rotted away. I also really like that Gremlin, never seen one before. They look pretty big....

Warning! Do not approach Adam Ant under any circumstances! He's a proper nutbar these days, my mate got accosted by him more than once in Portabello road.

[Electric Leyland]

He glared at me like a fella who'd had a few actually, as I brushed past him. He is proper mad. But at least he didnt start waving a sawn off shooter at me, like he's inclined to do these days.

I love that Melbourne selection to bits. My folks went there recently and all by dad could photograph for me was a fucked Probe and a 1992 Corolla.

 

 

This by the way is a Colt Lancer. Mitsubishi often sold their cars in some markets under the GM banner - mostly to fool people into thinking that they'd bought a non Japanese car I guess.
