I don't even know what was going on here. Some old boy driving a dreadful Rover 75 featuring gold painted BBS reps and this horrendous Evo inspired rear wing. The whole car was monstrous. I'm only posting the pic so that it isn't just my eyes that have to suffer irreparable damage as a result of looking at it. Enjoy.

A lot of the large loads get moved overnight... Seen a few over the years I worked nights. They must put a lot of planning into the routes they take
"No the temperature gauge doesn't work........
we've driven 150 miles today........
the heater went cold last Thursday........
they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

I have never been convinced by these cars. Any car badged as GT should have no more than two doors imho. Fail on the High Street.

Saw a Cavalier Turbo parked in Battle today. It was satin red and pristine looking. Totally standard apart from a bit of lowering.
I flyered it but didn't have my phone on me so didn't get a photo.

Now that's my cup of tea :hair But in black, as much as that paint job is iconic, I just love black stock looking Chargers.

Mk1 Ford Cortina parked around the business park where I work. There is also a yellow dolly that turns up now and again, could be the same owner.

An incredibly tidy Mk2 Golf GTi more-door (just about visible through the muck/reflection on my Saab's windscreen!).

Mercedes 300E dressed up with wide split rims and a chunky bodykit. It looked really nice from the side. I love seeing this stuff on the road.
