My flickr is almost entirely old cars of the 'blimey, you used to see them all the time!' type.

You have a problem.

Saw this in Paris. Worth noting for being unusually well parked for a Parisian car.

I so want one of these to soup up with Harley Davidson engine.

You'd surprise a few folk as you pulled away from the lights!
When I was a kid a bloke around the corner from us had a Reliant Robin with a Kawasaki GPZ900R motor in it. As you can imagine he had a lot of fun just trying to keep the wheels on the ground.

My mate's mother was the accountant for a company which had the DHSS maintainance contract for Invacars and the mechanics were brilliant at doing stunts with them. I got to have a few goes and it was a strange experience using a tiller bar to steer. I also saw some seriously wrecked ones that had been recovered. They'd been converted into jigsaws by the collisions.

I once went off to a restaurant in Paris having left the car parked on the outside of a roundabout, I figured it'd be fine as I'd had to parallel park in between two cars already parked there. And was fine when I came back three hours later.

Here's a few spots of mine, over the past year or so

At a garage near me a while ago
There can't be many of them left now?
(think it had been there for an MoT test))


Leeds, near EastGate roundabout




When did you last see one of these
(or the Vauxhall badged version)


This sometimes drops off at the Scholl opposite my house
UMM, or Cournil, it's essentially the same vehicle (Peugeot diesel engine?)



Crayford Cortina!!!!
(this lives roughly half-a-mile from me)




Not the Aussie Holden, but the Vauxhall VXR-8
I think this is the one that used to belong to a neighbour of a running club collegue
I do know that they sound absolutely awesome, even at tick-over




Got quite a few more

In Leeds, near EastGate roundabout

And that one had rusted away by the end of the afternoon

(on the subject of Italian cars of that era, I used to work with a guy who'd always had Alfas. He said that at one time you'd buy a new one, and then two years later you'd sweep up its remains and get another)

some nice metal and a Moggy

Super Cool

2007. spent some time in Uruguay, saw some fantastic (IMO) vehicles, even everyday ones were interesting because you either don't see them nowadays, or they are still in everyday use...

1930s Chevrolet pickup.

Slightly earlier pickup, I can't remember the manufacturer now.

1960s Merc

The blue one in the background is their version of our Vauxhall Chevette

An alternative to motorised transport..

Like something from the Hell drivers movie..

I suspect this was 1920s, maybe 1930s, still in use in 2007.

Pickup trucks are always cool...1960s ?

Trucks can be cool..an International IIRC.

The oldest I saw was a circa 1910 Rugby motor car trundling up the 'promenade' in the town I was staying. Those almost carriage large type wheels with spokes, a concertina type pull back roof (like a pram) and a young couple driving it. I think there's a culture of just driving for the enjoyment of it.
I did have a photo of a circa 1930 Ford Model T pickup, for sale, 900 dollars IIRC, that was similar to the first photo.
Also...

Broken down on the way to work one morning. The taxi driver knew the guy, said he was so so proud of that car. Chevrolet I think.


All taken in Carmelo and Nueva Palmira.
Finally, I genuinely think this used to be my car...

Spotted on a ride, circa 15 miles from where I live. Taken about 6 years ago, I think its the one I owned circa 1980-1985.

A mate at uni had a moggie traveller which he'd managed to get a Rover V8 shoe horned in. From the outside the only thing you could see were slightly wider tyres. He frightened many a local with it off the lights though.
