Miguel Rivero Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Pete, you are correct this mustang was rebuild some years a go and I will do tooning and bakes. It is in a very good condition and restored. Yes crazy planet we live in! Have a great weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Rivero Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Today I want to share another vehicle not seen very often. It is a 1967 Mercury Cougar, of course it requires a lot of work but the owner wants to keep it because it was his fathers present. Have a nice week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 A '67 Cougar is a lovely thing to behold. Another of my favourites. Of course it's a Mustang underneath, but that's not a bad thing. The toy car could be by Lionel? I also like the metal car models you posted in the other thread.

Miguel Rivero Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Pete, the toy car is a Schucco from Germany, it is a vintage toy! I like it very much. The metal cars on the other thread are from America, do not know if there are any manufactured in Europe. I will keep posting my progress on them.

To bring out the inner hoon ... Our Highway Patrol has used Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores as pursuit cars for years, but since both Ford and GM ceased production in Australia nether vehicle is available any longer. There are still lots of Foulcans and Dunnydoors around in HWP markings, but eventually they will have to be replaced. At one stage there was talk of them getting Chrysler 300s (think blancmange suspended on marshmallows ...) but now it seems that they're getting BMW M5s. We taxpayers are such a generous lot ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage green with a white roof and a fantastic little car, loads of fun. Edited November 27, 2018 by Smithy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely,real engines in real cars and it makes a nice change for a 427 to be in a Mustang instead of a Cobra replica.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Reminds me of the old Brockbank cartoon of the Yank Tank at the petrol pump, with the pump jockey saying to the driver "Would you mind switching it off, sir? I can't keep up!" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 A delivery trip to London today, ended up getting stuck in a Northbound jam on the M1 But I also spotted two oldies on trailers, both M1 southbound. A Mk 2 Escort in American taxi yellow. An Austin A55 pick up in turquoise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Garage near me has a bright blue Mini Clubman traveller is spotless condition Also saw a Peugeot van today covered in brown fur with a black dog's tail on the roof. You would have thought at least he would have used a Rover...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 On the Elland Road Interchange yesterday was a rather large bright red Ferrari. Did some googling and it was a Ferrari FF. Don't generally like Ferrari's but this was rather nice! Tend to see a fair few Tesla's down that way too. Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 All this talk of Minilites. On Tuesday at the Humber bridge roundabout I saw a very clean dark blue late model XJ6/Sovereign on alloys that looked rather like Minilites complete with low profile tyres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Steve I think you're the first person I've come across (apart from myself) who likes the FF. Must be a Yorkshire thing (I'm in exile down here). There used to be a lovely black one around these parts, but it seems to have been sold on now. As for my sightings of the day, it was a supermini day today and both in strangely mint condition - a G-reg Nova and N-reg Rover 100/Metro. I prefer to try to forget the K-reg Volvo 440... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 When you mentioned ‘FF’, I thought you meant one of these...... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen_FF Not seen one (or the Interceptor) in years 😔 Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
