The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

Cheers!
It's a bloody good rep!

I only saw the R plate when I pulled up beside it, I was behind for a mile or so and the noise and smell of petrol on top of the looks had me.

What’s the R plate you keep mentioning

The car in the photo is a J reg

 

[CrippsCorner]

i am sure they are, but i just get the feeling i was be disappointed, specially compared to what's about today, one of them not meet your hero moments.

Mine was pretty rough to be fair, but my issue was trying to run it as a daily! Mind you this was about 15 years ago. I'd have another... as a second car sat in the garage most of the time.

Years ago i was mates with a lad who's dad was a boss for a car transporter firm, they had the contract to move these and he took us down to the yard on a Sunday so we could look at them and sit in them, i was only about 10 at the time, never really appreciated it.

Proper guilty pleasure of mine seeing old mundane cars sat perfectly on some nice wheels

Couple of spots yesterday. Probably the last weekend of summer so everyone had their toys out.

I was asking my brother if there's been any snow over there yet and he replied saying that it was 27 degrees the other day

12 years has been living there, and I'm still not sure when the seasons properly turn

Yup 25ish yesterday and today. Then it starts to turn. Im buying winters tomorrow, but hopefully won’t need them until early / mid-November!

Can’t believe that’s 2JZ powered, sounds properly modern v8. Wtf lol

An N/A one at that too! It’s just a genuinely tidy build. I’m loving the Blue 2 door they are creating as well. Their attention to detail is next level!

If I came into any large sum of money I’d be getting them to create me something special.

I knew a bloke that had one when I lived in Nottingham, that was 20 years ago and I've not seen one since.

What’s the van next to it?

I’ve seen this one a couple of times now visiting a house at the end of our street

It looks like a mk3 or mk4 escort I think

Your street's mad, it's both affluent with nice cars and professionals, and a sh*t hole with illegal ebikes and scumbags.

Yep certainly looks like one.

 

[Short Norman]

Your street's mad, it's both affluent with nice cars and professionals, and a sh*t hole with illegal ebikes and scumbags.

It certainly is.

Turn left out of our drive and it’s lovely jubbly, but if you turn right and go about 200 yards it’s a completely different experience.

There's an estate called Tile Hill in Coventry that's like that, some of it is gated communities and private flats for professionals with 24/7 security driving around.

The rest of it is drug gang murdervile.

Looks like the period correct AA van to follow the Ford around everywhere

Correct! I'll grab a pic next time I stroll by, only stopped for the Capri because it hasn't been parked there before.

Having a pint with the old man this evening and this pulls up.

Had a chat with the owner, was very kind and let me sit in it, couldn't fit in enough to drive it. What an insane car, never seen a Diablo in person.

Doesn't show in person, but it is crazy how long the back is and how short the front is.

 

[McGherkin]

In many ways the Diablo walked so the Murcielago could run, but the Diablo was still absolutely gorgeous.

You mean that fat Audi? Gross. Absolutely abhorrent opinion. You should be ashamed of yourself.

My son (7) has got into taking photos of cars, and asked to take this on mum's phone to send to me. I approve.

Also saw this down the seafront, GT? Quite rare I guess...
