Pete in Lincs Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Around four this afternoon on Lincoln bypass, an early sixties Ford Galaxie Convertible. Bright red and about the size of a WW2 Escort Carrier. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Sorry, I've fallen behind in my reporting. Monday afternoon; a nice wee Polski built Fiat 126, all black with plain white alloy wheels, left hooker Also Monday afternoon, a 2 year old (approx) Mercedes S-class on our M.1. Nowt special about it really expect it was on fire. We tried to put the fire out but it became too much, by the time Fire Brigade arrived it was a gonner 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Coming back from work, not particularly interesting but a while since I've seen one - a late '90s Renault Megane convertible. And about 5 cars behind, and much more interesting, an A-reg Sierra XR4i in special cropped-down-dashcam quality photo: 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Yesterday as I exited the local mall car park a Chrysler Crossfire was dithering about as it turned across my bows. Not one I've seen for a bit, they were never common but I did like the look of them, & still do. Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front was festooned with white ribbon and people inside dressed up as if they were going to a wedding! Mimd you, a few years ago I went to a wedding in a single deck vintage Crosville bus (I think it was a Bristol of some description - definitely not an RE, but maybe something of slightly earlier vintage). There was even a ‘clippy’ on board handing out tickets from one of those old fashioned winding type ticket machines. The looks we got going from Birkenhead to Neston 😆 Trevor 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubman01 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 At about 1:30pm today approaching the Holdingham Roundabout on the A17, travelling east, a proper Ford GT40, E reg, white with broad red stripe! First I've seen on the road. Trevor 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 @Six97s will recognise the location Spotted at the supermarket whilst picking up a few bits and pieces. I've not seen a DeLorean in the wild either ever or at least for a long time, it really shows how low it is (or how tall contemporary cars are). I wasn't going to mention the Ford Escort Mk.2 RS2000 and Mk.3 XR3 (or XR3i) that drove past the end of my road this morning (both looking very clean), but since I have your attention, I thought I might as well 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 And I'm wondering how the GT40 seen by @klubman01 coped with the roadworks on Holdingham roundabout without grounding! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With extreme difficulty, I imagine! It was also stuck in the usual queue of traffic leading to the roundabout, so I imagine it was starting to run rather hot.

Apparently there was a wedding in the church at the top of the road. And for those of you that know Parkgate it went down there too.
