Once again, I'd decided it was about time I chucked a load of spotted chod up. I actually uploaded them to Photo'SHIT'bucket sometime last week and decided that I'd stick 'em here another day. Well, today is that day.

 

Enjoy.

 

Some rammle from the UK first:

Spotted this in an Arnold SHARK "dealership" its one of 'Uncle Arnies' collection:

Not long after the above photo was taken, I found myself in Girona, North of Spain:

Then of course, it was onto South France near to Beziers where I was to be based where I spotted these just walking around my village:

Spotted these pair of shites on a French bombsite, was actually looking for a pre-90s Jag XJ6 I saw whilst passing. Never got to see Jag:

20140405_175338_zps5679e332.jpg
 
It was in our garage for a while, one of the lads did a bit of work on it, I cleaned it inside and out and it passed its French MOT. I think it was later sold to another lad in the warehouse.

 

Strangely, some other French photos don't seem to have been uploaded. I'll have to do these another time. Next up, Türkiye.....

Ä°stanbul, Türkiye. where I met up with Lady_Sterling  :mrgreen:

 

Strange thing was, when I lived in France, I lived in departement '34'. '34' is also the "department" of Istanbul where I went to.

 

Yep, no matter where I go, I will spot a Rover 800:

Now, here is an interesting one. Whilst walking around a business/shopping district in Brussels. I spotted this weird looking thig dressed uppas a Taxi, it is apparently a BYD E6. Some thing from China or summat. Apparently it's an electric car. Not seen one in the UK so far:

Cheers chaps! Loads of stuff to upload, seems rather a daunting task but I do get there in the end.

 

Its like the uk stuff is black n white and abroad stuff is in technicolour.(but all needing a t cut) why do you come home mo? Apart from family,life away looks ace. Very nice pics dude,most enjoyable.

Cheers Judge!

 

Reason I'm back to the UK is I actually originally came here for a few days holiday to visit family amd tie up a few loose ends, but after my company had been taken over, my position 'disappeared' but has now morphed into another similar role without the added stress.

 

The company I worked for only give out term-time contracts so they had no obligation to re offer me the job again. I can't stay in Brussels due to there being no space for me and no guarantee of a job out there, if there was, I'd be out there like a shot. Plus I've also got Lady_Sterling to bring over.

 

I'm sure at some point soon I will be back in Europe more permanently as I'm always looking for a job out there, or in Turkey/Middle East as much as I can, but that'll cost money aswell as Lady_Sterling so I kind of have to stay here for a while at least.

Some class spots there, the white Metro (the French one), maroon Fregate and the brown Lancia Thema are my favs, the Belgian Ford Crown Vic is cool but needs its proper wheels putting back on.

 

Was that fucked R8 being driven around Brussels?, I don't think I've ever seen a floormat used to repair crash damage before!! Love the gaffer tape holding it to the bonnet.

 

Did you correct the Rover P6 owning giffer on his claim to have built them at Longbridge? I don't think I'd had the heart.

Right, once again I've spotted far too much stuff to make this a simple 10 minute uploading job, I actually started uploading these around 5 and 6pm. Spots seem to be going from the most recent spot (thankfully)

Strangely, the Merc above isn't registered as a 'Mercedes' but as a Daimler? I did ask if it was for sale, but the chap, who wouldn't open the door, said it wasn't. Maybe I scared him because I was dressed in my Council uniform?

This is the bestest of the lot. Detailed explanation required :?

Or is it "old man with junk-filled car throws hissy fit."

 

Not a clue to be honest. There had been an outdoor market on that carpark in Bridgnorth, not sure about the old guy or his car. I assumed at the time he had been sleeping in his car there or something. A few days later, I saw the car in Birmingham driving the other way.

Ace spots Mo :D

 

I see you've visited Clee Hill and Ludlow.

 

I did indeed, gotta be done seeing as I live nearby. I visited that garage that all of those old cars next to the petrol station. I met the owner, older chap with Greyish/White hair, a bit eccentric but very polite and welcoming. We got chatting about old cars and he buys and sells them. Might take a visit there if I ever get my hands on some spare cash and Merc repairs are stalled for whatever reason...that said, I don't think the Midlands Massive would be too pleased, they would want to see a Cannock Auctions purchase.

There are some absolutely cracking spots here. Shame this stuff disappears off the page so quickly, thanks to all the great* clickbait/argument threads.

 

Am I imagining it, or is that Skoda 1000MB on the same driveway that previously hosted the blue Lancia Trevi that's been for sale since Jesus was a teenager?

 

(Recognising driveways from the background of eBay ads now: I probably need psychiatric help.)
