Pillock's Spots

[Pillock]

I had a spots thread, I remember it had a snowy Dolomite in it. It's anyone's guess where that went! Have another one.

 

Spots in captivity first, went to help a mate with his Golf project (2.0 16v with nitrous last time I checked, but it changes weekly).

 

This was on the same site being looked at. It was on a bit of a bigger scale.

 

A bit of a wander around the yard... this was badged BERFORD but I'm guessing they'd run out of D's

Somewhere, a banger racer is twitching slightly.....

I have no idea why there's a corner bath in the back of this. Or even what it is.

Custom moggie? Last taxed 1993.

[warren t claim]

The mystery bath car is a 50cc Cursor.

This was pleasant but in daily use - missing wingmirror and a IAM badge on the grille

 

Lancia "thing" on the motorway....

 

Very tidy Nova Sloon in the pez station on the way back from Mattblack's gaff

 

A bit scene but tastefully done.

 

Until recently, this thing was a few doors up my street. Then a few pikey-looking folks turned up with a beavertail, and now it's not there.

 

Clean as fook

 

Less so

Noice! Is the Lancia a Delta HF? There's something very familiar about it either way. Capri Brooklands is something of a hunny it musty be said.

Thanks for sharing.

[Pillock]

The Lancia was a Stratos - I assume replica but it had gotten a bit of a lead so you can't read the reg, and they've just installed cameras along that stretch so it got away.

[Cavcraft]

Weren't they (Stratos) some sort of mid-engined mental thing possibly sold in a limited number to compete in the WRC?

Qual spottage.

 

2.8Inj is mega clean. Kudos to the guy for taking it out in the rain.

 

One thing though, does your mate with the Golf store his car at a pikey camp? Because to the untrained eye thats kinda what it looks like. Some propper worthy motors in the back ground too

Ferrari engined Group-B monsters, in the same ilk as Metro 6R4s', Delta S4s' and 205 T16s' etc etc

mk1, he stores it with a mate who restores old American caravans and also just buys tat that looks nice - he's the new keeper of the E36. The area at the back is just a dumping ground for stuff that must have looked like a good idea after a few pints.....

TBH, it was the US caravans that took my eye. I've always fancied on of those huge, grotesque Winn(AH)bagos' with a bigblock in it.

4-10MPG and 30+ft long means it'd damn near impossible to use though....

So he can store fat women there as well?

 

*Sorry.

That's a Cursor, an unpopular 1980s microcar:

 

 

I actually saw one in the mid-1980s in the car park of the former Co-op superstore in Westwood, Kent. I think I'd curse if I had to drive one daily

[mattblack]

Loving the half-arsed 'Willys coupe' moggy!

[Rusty Pelican]

That Bedford / Berford is pure class , someone actually sat down and designed a lovely looking cab , not the bland huge headlighted shit we get today

Looks like a stethoscope on the bonnet , perhaps having its pulse taken to see if its still alive

[Pillock]

One update today, but it's a good one!

 

 

 

Dented, badly touched up, cracked bumpered and generally grotty looking daily driver. Heroic!

[Albert Ross]

I drive past this most days....... I LOVE it..... XXX Oh BX I Love you.
