Admiral Puff Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 A Cosworth Escort on Bells Line of Road, just west of Mt Tomah, the other day. Flared guards, extra lights, seemed to be set up for rallying. Looked quite the business! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Driving to work just now, I saw a Morris pick-up. I had no idea they even existed, it looked good. A bit like an old Chevy, only smaller. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much smaller - spotted a 1950's Chevy pick up the last time we were visiting my daughter & family in Hampshire, It was HUGE!! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Yes indeed, much smaller... in fact it looked tiny, in between 2 big trucks 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like an old Chevy, only smaller. When I was growing up, one of the men in the village had an early one of these (I think it was from about '57or so). Despite being about 30 years old, it was completely rust free, a bit of a miracle for a British car of the period. Then again, he was a farm mechanic and used to liberally coat every part which wasn't on show (and himself!) with the waste oil. Can't imagine that being allowed now, but it certainly worked - from outside it was immaculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 My brother was a mechanic. The family cars all had a coating of used sump oil underneath. Stuff the 'regulations'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Our Mini has a good coating of oil underneath too - courtesy of the numerous standard fitment oil leaks....!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Two Moggie Minors on the A41 outside Chester. One was a split screen Traveller in that slate grey so beloved of 1950’s British cars. Trevor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I’ve mentioned it before (I think)but a canary yellow MGBGT with wire wheels was going the other way to me this morning on my Wirralian meanderings. Nice. To to think I nearly bought one fully restored for £1,500 in the early 80’s.....youth and only street parking availability put paid to that dream 😕 Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkita katana Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Today's eye candy..... A very purple Lamborghini. Quick google of private plate indicates it was manufactured in 2015. Out of current models must have been a Huracán. And about 40 mins before that, a Landcrab in full rally decorations with Paddy Hopkirks name on the side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yesterday, a very tidy Willys Jeep. Possibly a genuine WW2 one as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Not a vehicle but highway related. Coming home tonight I spotted that some wag had painted a St.George’s Cross on the mini roundabout in Neston town centre! Trevor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Saw an E-Type out enjoying the sun on my way home which the dashcam did pick up and a BMW i8 in amongst some trees which didn't register so well. I was also followed home by what looked to be a very nice '86 Mercedes 500SEL, but being behind me I never got a shot of it. That said, the one which sticks in my mind from today was a lowly Peugeot 208. Nothing special about the car, but I did like the number plate😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyas Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Spotted around my local district attorney office, a 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 993. Those of you with keen eyes might spotted something different. This is a US-spec car, immediately recognisable by that safety bump thingy and orange reflector, but also because the steering is in the wrong side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Some more eye-candy Today; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. I sort of cheated with these. These weren't random sightings - my motor club was having its annual June Driving Tests competition today. These are just a few of the club members cars Now, who can put a make to most of them? and version/model type? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
