Just spotted a mk1 Escort RS Turbo. 😍

Surely you mean a Series 1 RS Turbo, which was the Mk3 escort?

Brushed by a spanky new McLaren 600LT in what I assume is an MSO colour [emoji7]

They look really tiny. And quite cool😎.

 

[cat171]

I quite like it!!

 

[_Tom]

I shouldnt but I really quite like it. I was following a Honda Acty the other day like this -

I really dont know why but thought it was cool as.. They're tiny.

 

[R3k1355]

They are exactly like you expect, small inside, uncomfortable and pretty basic.

They do the job well tho (A van for tight city streets)

Briefly caught a glimpse of this and thought that’s a Mk2 Jaguar, I’ll go take a proper look.

I was seriously disappointed when it turned out to be Hideous. I think it’s a Micra that has been through the 1960’s badly.

This absolute classic on the M6.

It's a Mitsuoka Viewt

It's a Mitsuoka Viewt

Just googled it and the first thing I saw on Wikipedia was "it was designed to resemble a mk2 Jag" based on a Micra. I don't feel as conned if they were intending to look like that.

Classic car show at the park today, too many to photograph everything, so here's a few that caught my attention.

Not the best shots as I was using my potato phone and the dog was being a prick on the lead.

Supercharged V6

 

[DaveDreads]

Actual WW2 Jeep

 

[MarkCup]

This caught my eye at the Shere Hill Climb today. I could spend hours looking at this, all the tiny little details, I get why they're so sought after 😎👌👍

 

[MarkCup]

I also managed to blag a passenger side up the hill in this weapon...

New AM Vantage on a 19 reg last night. The back & side looks great!

 

[cat171]

Black C63S AMG Coupe this morning, it sounded like thunder and he wasn't even gunning it.

 

[Jack1998]

Saw this whilst on a job, beautiful car despite the horribly misaligned drivers side door!

The ugly duckling of the range, mind!

Just seen a BMW X7, Christ the grilles are massive

 

[cat171]

A light bluey grey 991 Turbo S just now, centre lock wheels, massive yellow brake calipers etc Lovely!! Oh and chrome round the side windows, who specs that ??

 

[DaveDreads]

Went to Caffeine & Machine today to have a look and give the Clio a run, nothing really special there apart from an AE86 drift car on itb's in the living room.

A couple of BMX's with engines

Then when I was leaving I spotted this hiding round the back.

I thought that with the Plymouth next to it

 

[Short Norman]

It’s in the queuing area for the fast and furious ride at Universal Studios Florida. There are a few cars there from the different FF movies (I’m assuming all replicas).

If you go do yourself a favour and go through the queue and look at the cars then don’t bother with the ride......it’s shite. I mean really bad.
