Guernsey plate?

 

[Cookson]

Some bit of kit that, f**k-ugly though

 

[Matt Cup]

Didn’t @Ant1 have one of them?

For some strange reason they go for big money.

Wouldn’t touch one again personally even it it was free

Yours was a bit troublesome wasn’t it?

Just a bit

In a nearby field, was a mk2 3.0s. Would’ve been a nice car back in the day.

I can't unsee the Halo energy sword.

Got stuck behind a Creme Egg for about 10 miles today. First time for everything!

I wonder if you can get free crème eggs from them like you can get free cans from the Red Bull Mini’s.

Was in good condition that when he parked it there last week.

I’ve done a bit of googling since and apparently Cadbury’s commissioned 5 of them for marketing purposes in the 80’s and 90’s the retired them. It seems this is the last one left and they keep it a museum somewhere and bring it out for the odd event. It pulled in to a classic car meet.

 

[Matt Cup]

Yeah well it is nearly Easter after all so makes sense for it to be out and about.

Guy that owns that competes in the Protyre Circuit Rally Championship. It's rear-wheel drive with a C20XE and Sadev 'box.

On the way home from work today

Seen a mk2 escort a few miles further up, they must have been on the way to a race.

Rare spot at the shops this evening

I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen a Cygnet in the wild. Absolutely mint too.

Saw this one this morning and thought exactly the same, not sure I’ve ever seen one

 

[ForceIndia]

Also saw a load of these, from the looks I assume it’s built on the Renault 5 platform? Actually think it looked better than the 5 in the flesh.

 

[charltjr]

Yeah, new Micra is a R5 under the skin.

 

[realnumber 1]

The new Fiesta will use the same platform too.

 

[Matt Cup]

Few spots today.

 

[TC.]

Couple of Alpinas

 

[CrippsCorner]

Couple of hottie hatches in Tesco. The R400 isn't a thing is it!? Surely they've just stuck stickers on I know there was that concept thing, but this is obviously not that...

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Has your phone been through Chernobyl?

Why is it so grainy

Had no idea Alpina did anything like these.

No, was only ever a concept.

Easy enough to take a Rolf to 400hp and make a tribute car tho

 

[Marc.]

I can just picture who owns that Golf. And they definitely shouldn't be near children.

 

[Matt Cup]

This says enough about the clientele of that Rolf

 

[cat171]

911 Dakar Roughroads last night, dirty with the number 176 on the doors. Like this but in the UK.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Think this might be the first time I’ve seen a 1M in the wild.

Looked absolutely mega

 

[Ray Gin]

Who had one on here? Munson?

 

[terryc101]

 

[CrippsCorner]

Ha, well, they're zoomed in significantly... because I don't want to look like a weirdo that walks around Tesco car park taking photos of cars (even though that's what I was doing)

 

[OssPoop]

I spotted an Alfa 145 cloverleaf a couple of times last week on my way to work. Unfortunately it was the same colour as this one .

 

[ForceIndia]

 

[DaveDreads]

I reckon he could have parked it sideways and still be within the lines.

 

[MarkCup]

The more interesting spots from a beautiful day at Goodwood yesterday

A spotty young lad working in my local Halfords tried telling me he had a 1M once. I spotted it in the car park on a subsequent visit. Low and behold, it was a 118d coupe with an M badge on it.
