The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

You chose the wrong first car

Mine was a 1982 2.0 Sierra….it went everywhere sideways 😎

It was less a choice and more a “one of Dad’s friends is selling this and it would make a good first car” IIRC 😂

What a heap of s**t that car was. Although to be fair, at that time most cars over ten years old that had gone round the clock were on borrowed time.

How entirely insufferable were the other owners?

I'm well over 5 years into owning a Porsche and I feel hugely proud to be able to say that I've only ever been to two Porsche specific meets.

The first was an eye opener. The second was to confirm what I felt from the first.

That was enough for me to never go to another.

Saw this 1983 cavalier on Thursday

It looked tiny even compared to today’s supposedly small cars.

Love the colour on that thing as well.

Lad at school was given one for his first car. Went sideways off a roundabout into a charity shop window. Opposite the police station👌🏾

He's not wrong. I am a member of the official Porsche Club GB and I went to one meet. And that was enough. And it was/is the reason I now run South Wales Porsche Owners club with a mate. We do it proper, innit.

I saw a silver W reg Vauxhall Tigra last night. It looked pretty clean! It also had a disklok on it, so they care about it, otherwise it would be gone in two seconds. I didn't get a picture of it as I was driving. I haven't seen one in years!

There's a white MK1 one near me that I see on most days when walking the dog. It's parked on a drive in front of an omega, neither have which have moved in more than 6 years. Sunroof is open on it too.

Then there's a Mk2 parked opposite. But they have a solar batter charger and a rain cover over that one.

That's a shame! It looks like the white one was a project as they didn't come in white (that I know of) I think they're cool! That one looks like a mini Vectra Super Touring!

When was the last time you saw a MK1 tigra?

Don't get too excited! It's basically a FaceAche page that my friend started a handful of years back! He sold his Porsche and bought an Audi R8. And regretted it. There are quite a few members but the page doesn't appear massively busy on Facebook. More often than not, we just get each other on WhatsApp and arrange smaller meets / drives of 4-5 cars rather than getting 50 cars all together.
