vicsmith`s wild spotting ride - even wilder as of 23/11

[vicsmith]

Hold on tight, here we go, no vic, that`s no good, you gotta get higher than that etc.

 

 

 

 

 

Espero!

 

 

 

 

Mk1 Probe on a space-saver with permanently popped up lights:

 

 

P100/barrel crossover:

 

 

 

Concerto 4 - door, which, I am led to believe, is something of a rareboy.

 

 

Homebrew 2-tone job on a 416. I though I was into two-toning stuff but this guy is a pro.

 

 

Loads more to come, including some that weren`t just taken through the windscreen to avoid having to get out of the car.

Good work! This thread has been a long time in coming, when was it that we spotted that Ital, summer 2009? Turned up later at the Citroen garage, asked to see if it was an unwanted part-ex, it was actually there to get some work done! Scummy 1.3 L model to boot.

 

The P100 is driven by the most Autoshite looking bloke you could possibly imagine, great big scruffy beard and mad eyes. Have to wonder what's in the truck bed - probably just bits of rusty metal and broken plastic, but he's saving it because it might be worth a fortune some day. Come to think of it, doesn't he also drive the 416? If he doesn't, I am guessing he is at least responsible for its appearance.

Exc. spots

 

Theres an Espero that's started popping up near to where I work. I didnt realise till then how long it was since the last time I saw one. Probably 2 years or something.

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

Does anybody know if they did a facelift version of the Concerto anywhere? I saw one yesterday which had an Accord 4th gen. style nose.

Top work with the spots there! Ital is of course, amazing, but that first gen Probe is a rare sight indeed. I also like how its still possible to see knackered looking Granadas on the road, while at the same time seeing mint ones at shows. I dont think any cars image is transformed as much as a Granada when it loses its wheeltrims.

Merc S-class...

Mk1 Probe! They look well crap in a cool way, or vice versa. I suppose they were meant to be a 'Sports Compact', but that didnt work did it..

[autofive]

is it just me or does the probe look simlar to a nissan 200zx

This was an absolutel mintball:

 

 

This was at a Renault specialists, hopefully it`s all sorted now:

 

 

This looked great in BT Grey, looked like original paintwork:

 

 

Caddy based van affair, would this have been a factory item?

 

 

Mazda6 service vehicle, had to be captured:

 

 

Tidy two-tone job on this Cortina, quite a fan of this guy`s work, have to say.

That Cortina turned up at Thornes Park, it's a tidy enough motor and it has the winning dartboard/trim-ring combo.
