The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[Mork of Ork]

They've just got this in at work, same running gear as the Fiesta ST I think so it should go alright. It does look a bit like a frog in that colour though...

 

[Tez.]

It looks like a full on alien!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Paint looks pretty cool. Nice and vivid. Car is ugly as sin though.

 

[daydotz]

Like it but what's going on with the ST badge placement [emoji51]

Looks like they stuck it where the 'ecoboost/hybrid' badge usually goes, looks a bit weird though.

I quite like the look of them (I've got one at the moment 😬), the front end is the weakest part of it though. I love everything from the A pillar back , I think it looks great from the rear 3/4 view like the pic I put above.

Wonder if they used the same chassis as this one

 

[CrippsCorner]

I like those Puma's; perfect family car hack to be honest. Two good colours there... green is always a winner, though it is very bright!

 

[ForceIndia]

Jenson knows how to spec a defender!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I really can't get on board with the new Defender. Awful looking thing to my eyes.

On the subject of Land Rovers (well their inspiration at least) I spotted this today. I would absolutely love one of these:

Same, theyre so offensive on the eyes. Likes like a Jimny and a CRV had a child but aborted it halfway through

Buttons one is the first I've liked. IRL, they look pretty atrocious to me.

I really like them [emoji102]
Think they look great [emoji1787]

Didn’t know these were out yet? Looked good in the flesh.

I’ve seen a few but they’re not obviously distinguishable from the new Kuga

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Couple of spots today. One stupid, pointless and overpriced. The other is a Racing Puma.

 

[Stefan.]

Always wanted a FRP!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Saw this today - R19 convertible. Don't remember the last time I saw a 19. Really wanted a 16v when I was a teen!

I had a 16v phase 2 3 door hatch in blue as my first ‘proper’ car, loved that thing.

Might be in the minority but I always preferred the phase 2.

Would have another if it was possible to get hold of one anymore, gutted some woman drove into mine and wrote it off

 

[P-Co]

Citroen CX in Manchester yesturday and a Renault Avantime near my house (didn't get a pic though [emoji17])

I'm with you. People seem to get really excited about the phase 1, but I think the phase 2 looks miles better!

 

[ChrisR]

Although I do find as I've gotten older I can appreciate a nice phase 1, problem is most of them were never that 'nice'

Just thought the phase 2 looked more modern

Annoyed I can't find any decent pictures of my old one, before the days were digital cameras were commonplace, think this is about the best I had (P plate was for the wife who'd just passed her test and was a nervous driver...)

And how it died



The red Ford Ka up on the bank is the woman who hit me then bounced down the road. I was stationary and she, er, wasn't as she came barrelling off the M5 not realising there was a queue of traffic on the slip road.

This was mine about 20 years ago. Loved it!

 

[DoubleTime]

My old dear had a phase 1 chamade in blue that I learned to drive in. Loved that car to bits even if it did have it quirks like the boot deciding randomly that it didn't want to latch shut whenever it felt like it or the engine not being able to take any proper abuse. Car got written off in Aberdeen when a van went into the side of it.

Would love if there were still some nice examples out there to drop a 182 engine in.

I love a Chamade! A ph2 16v Chamade would be a deeply cool thing to own now. In my mind at least.

 

[Krarl]

I have a serious soft spot for old Renaults, R19 16v's especially!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Couple more spots today. An old American truck that the owner appears to park on the street outside his house, and a very neglected Volvo 850R...

Before I had the hatch I always wanted a blue ph2 chamade. Definitely prefer the hatch now, but I’d take either if I could have one again.

@robzracing lovely in the grey there!

 

[Cookson]

Speaking of R19s, saw this earlier. I'd love one, but I bet there's about 5 left in England

 

[PP200t]

I saw a red R19 this morning on my way home from work. (No pictures as driving) but where are they all coming from?? Thought they’d have rusted away by now.

 

[DoubleTime]

Many still on the go over in the EU zone but left hookers obvs. Guess climate has a lot to do with it. Although it's strange that so many R5GTT's have survived here and almost no 19 16vs. Any other countries that have nice climate that drive on the same side? Cheap imports maybe?

Malta?

 

[PP200t]

Malta?

that was the only country i could think of. loads of old classic cars still going over there, but no where near cheap to buy cars there!!

 

[CrippsCorner]

My bro had a R19 5 door Ph1 I'll have to see if he has any photos... loved that thing! Nearly bought it off him as a first car. Insurance would have been painful though.

 

[Waitey]

Quite liked this.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Leyland Atlantean. £4,000.
Always fancied one.

 

[Jack!]

You like picking up kids?

I bet that sounds like a bag of gravel going down that street!

 

[Clio_fool]

Yeah you're unlikely to see a 19 16v on the road. Shame.
