Re: Stuff we've seen on the road
This popped up too; if you think Flame Red has aged badly then check this out. I don't think I've seen one of this edition Mondeo on the road for about fifteen years, the factory paint job was very 'of the time'. This one looks pretty tired.

Re: Stuff we've seen on the road
Actually I much prefer the look of the gsi to the overblown lotus. Less is more for me

Re: Stuff we've seen on the road
Those Can-Am trikes were handed out to The Fuzz somewhere down South...remember seeing them at a motor show, all decked out in Police livery,the coppers on the stand letting small children sit on it.
That poor Mk1 Escort wants saving...out in all weathers.

Re: Stuff we've seen on the road
[quote="VauxhallGirl"]Not much happens round Hampshire, either. The only thing I see on a regular basis, apart from a couple of Cavs, is a lovely little mint condition Nissan Micra K10 (the 1980's one).[/same colour car as me nice 1 quote]

Re: Stuff we've seen on the road
Some more recent pics from town:
See this every morning; B-reg Capri 2.8i with huge rear spoiler. Used as a daily driver. Nice.
Not particularly impressive but a rare sight nonetheless:
