malpaso Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 A trip up to London and back, and the only interesting car was when nearly home - a Humber Hawk. But then two people said nice car, lovely colour about mine (AE30RF ) so maybe that makes up for lack of spots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six97s Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Came across a T-reg Spitfire in BRG today, parked in the road, then shortly after I drove past a body repair shop that had a few vehicles outside in various states of disassembly. The three I took in were an E12 (I think) 5-series, a Mk2 Fiesta XR2i and a K-reg orange VW type 4 fastback. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Two Porsche 911 convertibles. One was a 1990(ish) 964, but the other was an '80s slant nose Turbo! Both were parked on the forecourt of a garage nextdoor to where I went this morning to get a pair of new tyres for Mrs H's car. However, seeing them with the hoods up also confirmed that the unused glazing part on the new Revell 911 Targa kit is indeed the rear window for a planned future convertible version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR2Don Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 No details as I was driving round town, but a black Lambo and an Audi R8. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooooo is there any photos of the Tuna boat ? I haven't seen one for a while, was it a 412 with the 4 front lights or a 411 with the single light per side? They were lovely cars to drive.

Chris I could only see the back, but I'm pretty sure this is the very same one I saw - came across this while looking for comparison images. It was on an industrial estate on the other side of town, but if I'm passing again I'll try to get a photo. https://www.flickr.com/photos/47381765@N04/5744026369/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love one of them in my garage, thanks for the link. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 One from yesterday, not particularly wow but definitely one of those which generates a "When did you last see one?" thought - a Y-reg (1982/3) Nissan Urvan converted to a camper van coming the other way on the dual carriageway near York. Finished in black and red and looked like it might have been quite a recent paint job. Sadly that dual carriageway bit means no decent pics on the dashcam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR2Don Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Not dramatic, as it lives at the end of our street, but the Carrera 4S actually made it down the street today (doesn't happen very often)! I can always tell when he's started it - the noise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauslx Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Going through town a couple of days ago, two 72-73 Camaro's. And the worlds ugliest car showed up at work. A 2003 Pontiac Aztec. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubman01 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I think it was a beige Pontiac Aztec that was driven by the main character (Walter White) in the TV series "Breaking Bad". Someone correct me if I've got that wrong. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I think you're right. I also think it's only true to say that the Aztec was the ugliest car in the world - in my opinion the BMW iX has it beat in that regard now, for those who haven't seen it it looks a bit like a parrotfish which has been punched in the face... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW had a set of display cars in our town centre a while ago, with petrol engined ones sat next to iXs and it became immediately obvious that the "grille" on the electrics isn't, it's just a pattern painted (decaled) onto the front and it looks awful, especially next to a real one! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's also great fun leaving Audi and BMW owners (I won't dignify them as drivers) who sit on your bumper on any straight bit of road, in the dust as soon as you come to a roundabout or twisty bit of road. It handles quite well for the big old bus that it is!! Keith (I would still rather have a 911GT3RS though...!!) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyas Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 So it's new year, and I went out carspotting on Sunday. Sweet-looking Ferrari FF in what I believe is Bianco Fuji, with what looks like some Novitec parts on it. Used to have Novitec wheels too but the owner who bought it after selling his R8 changed it back to standard. My friend hates FF a lot. I don't understand his views. Then a 720S appeared. The owner once had the Volcano Yellow 12C I posted here before, sold it for this 720S, Huracan, and Aventador. Always a special thing to see 720S on the road, looks like an absolute spaceship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubman01 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Spotted yesterday lunchtime in a layby on the A17 close to Holdingham roundabout, a brown Reliant Kitten. I thought that they were long gone. Trevor 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
