Bare with me on this one, but this Metro and Rover 214

The Metro has been around for a while where I live. It looked in great condition. Shame it’s not a 3 door as I would have put a note on it to buy it. Then it got damaged, not sure how. Bit of a shame. Then the 214 appears and it’s the same owner. Even that looks in good condition. He obviously had great taste is god awful cars

I had a metro in that colour 1.1s sold it and ended up with my mums 214si which I then traded for my brand new 1.2 16v dynamique which I still have

owned it 16 years on the 30th of April !

It's a Metro, that came as standard.

I had an identical Metro to this, but in white, several years ago as a stop gap. Bought for £150, someone went into the back of it and push the bumper mounting point back a bit. Fixed with a piece of wood and a sledge hammer. Claimed £150 cash off the other driver for damage. Was then sold for £450 a few months later. Also the indicator lense fell out when I came to a stop once and subsequently ran it over - the build quality was not the highest on it. Great little car though, I loved driving it.

I spotted this prick on the M62. Seat right back in full gangsta mode, so probably couldn't actually see that he was in lane 3 when 1 & 2 were empty. The melt then moved over to lane 4 for no fuckin reason whatsoever.

 

[Pep]

He probably wasn’t on the phone whilst driving though.

In Farmfoods car park

See @Davyy, were all cut from the same cloth. Dont be a stuck up shitebag, get that M140i down to Farmfoods and get some cheap bog roll lad

[MarkCup]

Wow. I like red leather, big fan of it, but that has far too many reds.

 

[massivewangers]

Saw this yesterday. People seemed to get rather excited by the Brera that came later, but I think these are actually better proportioned in some ways:

It was a Blackline, but I assume not a big engine, as it had tiny brakes

Usually a 5 pot derv. Proper ace looking cars though, I wanted one before I ended up buying my megane

I love purple!

 

[Stiamh-JM]

I'm not familiar with ST versions, however a quick search states this is a Performance Edition? It was covered in VUDU stickers too.

 

[massivewangers]

Yeah, Performance Edition, so factory orange paint, lightweight wheels and coilovers. Not a big fan of the orange personally. Those wheels would look awesome on a blue or white one though.

 

[Ex-User (72296)]

Followed this yesterday, sounded lovely.

 

[ForceIndia]

Don't see many of these about!

They are very good I must say! Sound fruity also for a little hot hatch.

Colour I like although I also like the primer grey 200 they made.

 

[Jekyll]

Went out for a walk this evening and came across this at the side of the road. Anyone fancy a resto project?

I don't think I've ever seen a Consul Capri, very rare.

Saw a stunning 964 turbo in a burgundy colour this morning followed shortly after by a Ferrari F8, both going too fast to grab a picture round the corner from Al Fayeds place in Tanbridge.

Love a 964.

also I didn’t realise the F8 was on sale already

Ahh possibly not then, maybe a pista? Didn’t look like a 488 at a glance.

Porsche sounded lovely.

Just had a look google says F8 UK deliveries were due Q1 2020 so it would have been one.

Hope they were both key workers or on an essential trip

You know the petrol price is super low when someone's doing the weekly shop in this beast.

The 309s are lovely. That Z4 though. Urgh, it gives me back ache just looking at it.

 

[Cookson]

I always preferred the 309 over the 205

I spotted one of these today while walking the dog, and a mitsubishi FTO. I've not seen one of those for a very long time.

Do you live in my village? There is an FTO parked up on the way out of my village

That 106 quicksilver looks incredibly clean!

 

[Gally]

Proper genuine looking that. Funny the one I had, was standard wheels with air filter and pugsport fun personified! It was my ex's brother in law and he didn't use it, he had a fast Evo 7 and a track car. Pug was so good. Apart from some mental central locking bugs and speeding tickets I got!
