The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

That Escort looks great! Which is more than can be said for the spacing on his home made paper number plate!

 

[Hixle]

I'm sure they're like 2.6 tonnes

Yeah. Thats kerb wasn’t dropped until he parked on it.

 

[helpimonfire]

Bad wheels but it was at least a manual. Spotted at Clay Pigeon Raceway down in Dorchester yesterday.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Knutsford today 348, absolutely immaculate.

This is behind Team Sport Karting in Warrington. Spy the 944 in the background, same fate.

Storm is the desirable one isn’t it ?

 

[Clio_fool]

Storm is the desirable one isn’t it ?

Yes.

 

[TC.]

Yes.

Shame that, probably like a swimming pool inside with the sunroof open.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

It was in the came "compound" as the 944 at one point (its been years), I believe it was 9misters compound as the White building is their old unit.

 

[NTG999]

Seem to remember sunroof failure is a common fault, sad that could have been the original issue

 

[cat171]

That Corrado's a real shame, especially being a Storm model! I like the green but not the colour of the interior! a black interior like the blue cars would look better.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Arrived at work today and this bad boy is in the carport.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

God damn auto correct on my phone, Carport > Carpark.

Such a weird car, Chevrolet SSR, convertible pick-up truck with a 6.0 V8.

And the first time I've seen a cybertruck, wow its even uglier in real life than in pictures.

 

[Bleu]

Tesco spots

and a @Krarl spec Clio

Was at Croft today watching the Caterhams with @Simon_16v and there was some nice exotica around, but this...this gave me a lob on.

Silver on white looks ace, shame about all the shitty plastic Halford bits on them 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

[Trainerbrow]

The guy driving it looked old enough to be the first owner.

So expensive now, even for a rot box.

I'd upgrade everything, I had an idea of buying one in parts when prices went mental, chassis, rear beam, engine, box etc and building one over a few years, but even the parts are silly money now.

I thought VW scene tax was bad, it's got nothing on Ford tax.

Bought one a few years ago for my oldman as he had a couple of them back in the day, i grew up with him banging on about how good they were... They drove like ass, and fkn slow compared to modern cars

Zetec for performance or 302 small block V8 for noise and attention.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

 

[cat171]

No picture, but a loud "well used looking" Ferrari F355 at lunch just now. Red, LHD with black wheels. It's on almost 72,000 miles! Oh ma gawd!!!
It also appears to have done only 300 miles in the past nine years!

There’s a slut being fingerbanged near by. Wearing a tracksuit.

That number plate placement on the red one is pure aids.

 

[The Psychedelic Socialist]

It's like they looked at every feature on the front of the car and thought "What's the cheapest way I can make this worse?".

Same as a fella I used to work with, told him on the daily.

I had one and the same colour. Mine was 3 door but 1.6 L

I also had a white none runner 3 door but that never made it to the road

What, the car and the dog were ???

Yup. I know the Zunsport grills they all w**k over don't have fixings for plates, but they are easily made. f***s sake, they could have put magnetic ones on if they wanted. But no, drill it into the bumper where it sits at an awkward angle and isn't flush in the slightest,

Putney Bridge this evening. So cool.
