Thud4444 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) That sir, is a Nissan Mirca(Versa to us Americans) with an messed up body kit. And I love how Top Gear made fun of Pontiac Fieros made up like Ferraris when this is a real thing. Fun fact, before the Versa was available in the US, I honestly thought this was what they looked like.

Max Headroom Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Well done that man! When I first saw it head on I thought 'ooh a Jag!' but something was wrong with the windscreen proportions and it was only as I passed it that I realised it was *ahem* not genuine!

MetroRacing Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Although based on a Micra or March in Japan, it's actually a Mitsuoka Viewt. The one pictured is a K11 March whilst the current model is based on the K12 March. Very unusual to see one in this country, although importing jdm cars to the UK is a big business so it doesn't surprise me lol Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 The most striking error is the lack of sidelights on top of the front wings. Yesterday I saw a very tidy Mk2 Ford Consul, in Imperial Maroon with a Windsor Grey roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Something big again from me, unusual set up, a 'Cone penetration specialist' truck, not a great piccy as it was stuffed in a corner. DSC_0022 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0023 by richellis1978, on Flickr Looked like a driven front axle, and second drive axle with a dead tag, strange set up.

Pete in Lincs Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Today's expedition was to the wilds of Birmingham and environs. Two spots near Stourbridge, In a house driveway, a Mk3 Cortina in purple with jacked up rear end and bootlid wing! A mid fifties Wolesley 4/44 or 15/50 (Same bodyshell as the MG Magnette/Riley Pathfinder) Random news, on the way down on the A46, heading North on a low loader was a T 34 tank. And, as I was heading North this afternoon up the M6, on a low loader I saw a Challenger tank. Is Monday move your tank day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a military show on somewhere around the Midlands this past weekend. Some Leicester Modellers guys mentioned it when I was at their build club on Saturday lol.

Pete in Lincs Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The Chally was at the services near the M6/M69 junction and heading North this afternoon. Oddly, both tanks were on low loaders. At one point this afternoon I passed an ex-Army tank transporter trailer being used by a civvy firm to move factory machinery. Go figure. Oh, also saw an Austin Champ towing a radio? trailer slowly up the A46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cameraman Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys n Gals, two interesting Citroens that I spotted a couple of weeks ago in Peel, Isle of Man. The first was a lovely H type van, earning it's keep. I don't know if the van, or the owner was called Flo. Then a matter of a few minutes later I heard this beast coming down the road, so flagged the driver down for a couple of shots. It's not everyday that you see a 1920's Citroen racing car being driven on the road is it? Edited September 9, 2016 by The Cameraman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 A red 49 Pontiac Chieftain sitting next to a sea foam 53 Chevy Bel Air at a local mom and pop restaurant. Another sea foam green 55 Bel Air drove by on Curry Hwy while I was checking out the Poncho. I recognized the 55 as a local daily driver, but I'd never seen the other two before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never even seen one before I watched an episode of Wheeler Dealers. There is a local company around here, I think it's a pest control service, that uses a 58 chevy panel van every once and awhile. Its painted a glossy olive drab color with white out chrome.

Whofan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) In Sainsbury's car park, a Jaguar XKR- at least that's what the owner said, customised with a Zemax body kit. It looked more like a mustang than a jag. Edited September 14, 2016 by Whofan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
