bentwaters81tfw Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Looked in the mirror this afternoon, and was being followed by a light grey Austin 1100. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I've seen this around the neighbourhood while walking our dog the last few days and finally got a pic of it today. It's in fantastic shape for such an old pickup especially with our Canadian winters. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whofan Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Spotted in the Kidderminster Tesco car park a few days ago --- A fine juxtaposition of a new mini and an "old" mini. The size difference is massive! The blue mini is an H suffix, I didn't really look at the details of the orange mini, it was the size difference I was trying to show. here's another picture of the blue mini; it was in lovely condition. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyas Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 So despite my wage not being paid for the last two months, I went back to Jakarta last Saturday just for half a day. The first ever Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica in Indonesia, here presented in Giallo Inti. I have to be honest, I am not a fan of Huracan Tecnica in terms of styling. To me it's an awkward halfway-house between the mad STO and the elegant Huracan EVO RWD. And it somehow does not work that well. Lacked the insanity and the craziness of STO but nowhere near as elegant and simple as the EVO RWD. This is the main reason I went to Jakarta. The first ever Porsche 911 Dakar in Asia. This Shade Green car was a parallel import, our local Porsche distributor has yet to announce the official date of the launch but if my information is correct they will only bring 2 of these officially. This, I actually quite like. Messy interior aside, this would be a perfect sportscar for our wretched roads. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Sadly on pics as I didn't have a camera with me, but I was sitting in the local supermarket's car park, when this beautiful old Daimler (very much like the type used in the past for funerals), came in, towing a trailer. On the trailer he had an equally beautiful black Jaguar XK120 drop head. Always been my favourite car, ever since Dinky released one when I was a nipper.

Looks very smart for its age if so. (And also smaller than the new Mini by the looks of it😄) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toftdale Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I saw this today and no I've not photoshoped it (apart from removing the plate), it really did look like that! - Andy 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I assume at some point as they put their foot down someone says “V1… rotate…” What’s that poor little car done to deserve that? And I hate to think how the airflow over the roof, around that monstrosity and over the scabbed on bootlid spoiler interact… best, M. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing with that amount of camber and angle of attack is just all drag and no downforce, there will be no grip left at the front. Might as well use a 911 Turbo 930 with washing maching strapped on its rear-end. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 This morning in Southwell. A Lancia Beta in something like French blue. Parked in a line of cars I only caught a glimpse. Could it be an MR2 kit car? Also a better than new black Morris 1000 Estate. And, a Skoda from about 1964. Can't quite remember the model name. Estelle? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 As I left work in South Lincoln an H reg Toyota Carina turned right in front of me. Another one that doesn't look bad for 32 years old. The question is, where has it been for all that time? Must surely be a barn/garage find. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
