The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[Willo40]

I think so, I bloody love them, just not their prices for a decent running one

Yea they are serious money, and not cheap to run by all accounts.

Is that all on one road? If so, what a legend! I bet his neighbours get fucked off with it though. I love them!

“Let’s take 2 brands, not renowned for reliability and combine them!”

Shall we take the most reliable, sturdy parts and use them in combination?

“Yes. Do that. But opposite.”

there's a young lad near us with one of those, not as clean as that one though.

That's like the Nissan Cherry & Alfa Arna

Doesn't look hellish other than the gash number plate

That's almost got a the full-house of stick on tat.

Those rear window quarter covers bug me WAY more than they should.

Not a great photo, but I do love these.

I love the Mustang style louvred ones. Just so stylish on a 5dr hatch

Spotted a mk1 focus RS in the wild this morning . I think they might be worth the very expensive road tax.

MK1 RS’s don’t have the very expensive road tax. It’ll be around 390/400 like my Cup.

I often see a bloke driving round in a Mk3 Focus ST after work with those!

I often see a connoisseur driving round in a Mk3 Focus ST after work with those!

He’s king of the local Ford scene. Bet his cap matches his keyring.

Beautiful things. Shame they went for sparco seats instead of recaros though

Or they should have put the FRP seats in the RS.

Cheating as very small car meet over my mum's local park. Unfortunately the Skyline had gone before I could get pictures of the front...

Oh and terrible picture this but wonderful green Alfa

That E9….

This was absolutely spotless

Probably the car I’d buy if I ever came into serious money. Typical super cars do nothing for me, I’d rather roll around in something like a 3.0 csl.

It’s mad that while BMW were making that glorious piece of art us over here at BL were making the god awful Triumph 2000 (back when I was 18 my step dad, brother and I had a triumph 2000 as a track car, stripped out with an M10 engine from an E30 325i touring, it was awful and quite cool at the same time)

Engine would’ve been an m20b25 from a 325i (m10 was a wheezy 1.8 carbed up shitter) and that must’ve been a riot in a lightweight Triumph.

Echo the thoughts on the E9, this was my screensaver at work for years…

Ahh yeah ok, that was it. It was Ummm interesting! From what I know it is still kicking about, OPD972L is the registration.

 

[Short Norman]

Can I join in with the old BMW loving

Obviously these aren’t cars that’s I’ve spotted though

 

[E30kev]

Aye about 170bhp & 167lb/ft, Triumph must’ve been <900kg surely?

Mainly because of BL rust it was fast for what it was but still like trying to wrangle a super tanker through the Suez Canal. In hindsight saving the E30 donor car would have been a better deal than hacking it apart for a Triumph. Only was a 2000 as the Dolomite Sprint we looked at for the same money had no sills.

Not a spot but I thought I’d already seen the oldest Passat I’d see online today.

I have got a real soft spot for the B3 Passat. I would love a VR6 Syncro wagon.

That red 205 1.9 , I thought I knew the reg from a famous publicity shot that was used back in the day. It's not the same but very close...
