johnlambert Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Today's spot that I wish I could have photographed was an original Renault 5 L; left-hand drive, white, very unusual and lovely to see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Okay not from exactly today, but something lately seen. This was from near by gas station in Berlin. And these two were sitting in our second home garage in Warsaw. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I walked past this one this afternoon. I'm not really a fan of modern prestige stuff, but this is the first one I've seen in the wild and there's something quite cool about how well used it looks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Got to admit that I have a soft spot for this one, there used to be a very nice black one around near work but that seems to have been sold on now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Driving out of Belfast earlier today I got behind a blue Ferrari It looked like a Ferrari It sounded like a Ferrari It said 'Ferrari' on it It had the prancing horse badge on it It was about 9 ft wide, each rear tyre was about 3 ft wide But I didn't know what model of Ferrari it was so I noted the registration plate I put that registration number into a DVLA search and it showed that it is a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . White Volkswagen! Many years ago a chap in Armagh got caught by HMRC for passing his Ferrari off as a works JCB 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 It looks as unloved as every other '86 Olds' Cutlass too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six97s Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 No photos because I was driving, but yesterday a nice looking 1968/69 (G-reg) Cortina GT in green and a two tone PB Cresta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An '86 Cutlass Ciera. Except it only said that on the passenger side. The driver's side said Ciera Cutlass. And just to make sure, it had Oldsmobile on the trunk in three spots. Both corners of the trunk lid and across the reverse light stripe (which was the only place it was supposed to be). Gotta love that mid,-80s GM build quality. After my dad drove my '88 Civic, he never bought another American car. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Smith Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Saw Vesa's post with the Polonez in it.I Reminded me of many years ago there was a Polonez main dealer where I lived. I took one out for a test drive, same model and colour as in Vesa's post. It was truly awful to drive with about as much handling as a rice pudding! It was certainly reminiscent of the old Commie days in Poland. A colleague of mine went to Poland on business back in those days and asked his taxi driver now things were in Poland at the time. The taxi driver replied, ' They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work!' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky spot on the Cresta, only 4 left on the road. One was for sale near me earlier this year. I did think about it, but passed it up. It's the thought of E10 fuel that stops me buying a classic.

Noel Smith Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Believe me the Polonez was was a lot worse than the Chrysler Alpine (not to be confused with the Sunbeam Alpine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's always good to check local gas station. From this morning. There is also nice classic Range Rover, I have been thinking several times to go and ask if it's for sale. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
