Stuff we've seen on the road

[Lowrider Dave]

Parked up in Stalybridge Friday 9th August 2013
No idea what make / model it is, but it has been parked outside a garage for about a week.

I'm pretty sure thats a Renault Dauphine(?)

[Robsey]

Never heard of that, but after google imageing it, I would say that you are spot-on correct.

The vents / slats on the leading edge of the rear wheel arches look identical to those of the images for a Renault Dauphine

A few I have seen in cov

We were on our way back from Ford Fair on Sunday and noticed a steady stream of vintage haulage lorries and classic motors heading towards us. Mrs Humbucker rightly pointed out that a car show must have been ending, so we followed the trail of trucks all the way to the source of their origin and stopped to take snaps of what was left. We passed a Mk2 RS2000, Series 1 Escort RST and loads of other 'modern' machines, but here are some of the motors that hadn't quite made it to the exit by the time we had arrived.









I regularly find myself thinking about selling a Turbo to make room for one of these:















One for Andrei:

Spotted this tidy Triumph Stag last night. Kept seeing an Astra Chamption GTE too but didn't get a snap of that

[Sim Dhillon]

A rare sight nowadays. 2 cavs randomly parked next to each other

[VauxhallGirl]

I nearly bought a mk1 Astra the exact same as that when I first past my test in 1988 , instead I bought a mk 2 X reg met gold cavalier GL . From then on I was hooked ( and still am )

How random? Isn't one of them yours?!

TVR 350i Wedge

Best car of the thread so far?! Starsky and Hutch Reliant!

[humbucker]

2CV with 'optimistic' towing abilities, spotted today:

[Lowrider Dave]

Saw this earlier in the month. Ford Taurus I believe.

[humbucker]

Abandoned Bedford horsebox covered in paintings of toucans. And why not, eh?!

Was out and about today, saw a brown Corvette C3 coming towards Poole from Dorchester. Got a model in near enough the same colour, nice to see the real thing.

Alfa GTV

That's not a car, it's pornography.

I wonder how long it took for the breakdown recovery vehicle to arrive?

[Robsey]

I am sure that 120Y is actually an A-F2 (A-F II).

My friend / supervisor at my first job had one of these.


Here is the rustiest car I have ever seen without being burnt out.
Seen during a visit to Urmston, Manchester.

[humbucker]

^^^ I know the look is intentional but it does resemble a big turd

[NickSRi]

Love these old 'Stags' ... Great cars

[Robsey]

Amazed to see this turn up on the car park behind my house.
Normally it is boy racers in Clio's or Corsa's.

Despite it's age, it was totally spotless with no visible bubbling or corrosion - sweet.

[Lowrider Dave]

Just got back from Reykjavik. Despite keeping a keen eye out no Cav/Vectra A were seen as only a handful of Opels seemed to be about (most of these were Mk3 Astra estates) as everyone favours VAG products or large off roaders - Landys, Pathfinders, Rams, Landcruisers, etc. Did spot a few oddities, one of which was this Tesla S 'Signature'.

[planetc]

Oooer, two of them?!
