Tyas Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Been a surprisingly busy week in car stuffs, for me and my team decided to create some contents with this big boi last weekend: A 700hp A80 Supra. Got my friend's new A90 GR Supra with 500hp tagging along too. And just last Thursday we have BMW M dealer visiting out hometown for a test drive event with new M3 and M4 New M4 actually looks fine in real life. True spiritual successor of A80 Supra in my book. Would still take the M3 instead, though, that one looks ruddy special. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I saw a Mk.2 Granada on the way to work the other day. Still looks a nice car. Today there was a really lovely dark grey XK150 fixed head at the pub we went too for lunch, and a fine Ford Anglia Estate passed by outside. Possibly a bit restomodded going by its alloys. Not sure I even knew such a model existed! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the 'sleepy village' be Lacock, by any chance? The Dart was a rather nice example, if I recall. Cheers, Alan.

Spiny Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It was tucked away behind a Range Rover in the car park as I drove past so didn't really get much of a shot on the dashcam, but totays 'highlight' was a T-reg Nissan Primera. Nothing exceptional in that, but someone had decided to give it a full urban camo wrap... And you all thought the chrome Evoque was bad. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You often see some good (and not-so-good) examples of older British cars there. Must be the ghost of Miss Marple, or something! There used to be some pretty good hostelries, pre-pandemic. Not sure what it's like at the moment... Cheers, Alan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much nicer than north London! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 A few spots to catch up on. First from Oulton Park a couple of weeks ago. Aston Martin DB4 GT. A Mitsubishi Colt, a South African import, I think. A Bristol 401 with bodywork by Touring of Milan. I believe this inspired the style of the production 401, although to my eyes it is much more fussy and less pleasing. From windswept Cheshire to wet Warwickshire and tonight's gathering at the British Motor Museum. A very hard to miss Bond Bug. The engine wasn't standard although I couldn't tell if it was a tuned Reliant engine or something from a motorcycle, but it was very loud. A Porsche 912. It's all Porsche from here... A very nice 911. And my favourite of today, a 356C 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Nice looking 'posh' Imp in the background of the 911 - Chamois? Stilletto? DVLA has it down as a Hillman, so maybe not.... I really like the Colt! Keith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day my mum had one of the last Sunbeam Sports (exactly the same as the one in the Forth Bridge brochure, even same colour "Wardance"). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did wonder if they were spots rather than twin headlamps, thought the inner ones looked a bit smaller. But I didn't have my reading specs on to see properly.....!!

Looks to me as if it has a rollcage , or at least the back half , fitted . Just behind the passenger side door pillar there is what looks like a main roll hoop and a brace back to the rear inner arch . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
