No idea but they both got back in and traffic moved again. Probably just fighting, it is Strood after all.

It doesn't look that bad really. Don't think it's been stood a very long time. It's super cool though. One of my cousins rebuild one years ago. He went to night school to learn spannering and upholstery and did it all himself. One only seen pics of it but he did an amazing job on it. So much want.

That looks in good nick for something that's not been taxed since 1984!

Really? Wow.

I'm wondering if it sat in a garage which is now that pile of bricks.
My wife and I came across it by mistake, we was viewing a house with rear access and as we started driving down the alleyway to see how large the back garden was I saw the Jag, it was the first house we drove pass.

Looks like it could be a lovely car with a little bit of work, it's local to me so I'll keep an eye on it.

I think they need to put the wider track on all of them now - I thought this was perfection until I saw the C and the R...

Needs white walls and that roof removed though tbh.

Had a lovely half hour out in this earlier. V8s trim minus black pack.

Honestly it was rather average and actually not that comfy going down the road. 4.0 V8 sounds nice though! What is the engine of of? I couldn't remember.

 

[OHEG80]

A few from the long weekend:

Clocked a mint black on black Cayman GT4 this morning but couldn't snap a pic - he was sooo bloody fast!

 

[Euan94]

Had this GT12 go past me on my way to work yesterday, it looked absolutely amazing on the road. Not my pic but I couldn't get one

It's an Audi unit I think or at least designed from.

Exotics are cool but for Dubai THIS is a proper Spotted!

Might have been the same one, was it a more darker shade of red? Fiat X1/9 on Kirkstall Road this morning around 7.30am.

yes from memory I think it was a darker red. It was very clean.

I'm sure it will be getting wrapped up for winter soon.

I saw a red BMW Z1 this morning, the reg started off with B4 (I didn't see the rest of it) I love them!! and I just saw a black M2 a few minutes ago:up:

 

[Stefan.]

Was driving couldnt grab pic, but see an orange 1M on the dual carriage way earlier.

Looked so good

 

[cat171]

I've only ever seen three at different times & that was ages ago (well before the prices went nuts) Funnily enough, one of each colour

So rare on the roads, shame really as people dont want to drive them for the fear of knocking value off them. Probably my favourite beemer.

 

[Clio_fool]

I've only seen 1 1M on the road. I love them.and hoped BMW were going to make loads so they would one day be affordable like the M3 (not the e30 obviously) but that didn't bloody happen did it! Awesome BMW, stupid BMW.

 

[Short Norman]

There was a white 1M at a donnington day track day I did in July. It was left hand drive with no plates on it.

Did they sell them in white?

Yeah they did, aswell as black

 

[Clio_fool]

I followed a convertible that had the full 1M arches etc on and it looked great. I'm not sure it would have made a good M car though!

Just an hour ago... Interior taking a beating from the sun though, broke my heart [emoji22]

No pics as I was driving both times but I saw an Aston DB5 in silver like Bond's car and a Lotus Elan +2 in the last couple of days. Both beautiful cars.

 

[Stay Puft]

Saw this old Evo looking sorry for itself out here in Thailand.. quite a few out here, especially the older ones.

 

[Stay Puft]

Not my picture, but Paul McCartney's old Aston in Pompey.

Save it :sweat:

Saw an i8 on the way to work this morning. Such a sleek looking car.

 

[cat171]

I saw one last night, a white one. I love them!

What a did see the other day which I forgot to mention, a red K Reg Nova 1.4i which was mint! It had a set of wheels on it with massive profile tyres (which looked crap) but other than that it was cool.

 

[mace¬]

How long before the cars of our youth are gone? I can't remember the last time I saw an Astra GTE, Fiesta RS Turbo or Cavalier GSi. Must be rare as rocking horse s**t nowadays.
