One For Classic Car Fans.....

Aye, when I was in my teens I once saw a beetle parked up with a Porschewagen badge. Me and my spotty mates were eying it up when the owner returned, and he was happy to show is the early 912E motor in there.

I'm not sure I'd like to drive that in anything other than a straight line.

Came across this pair yesterday, yellow one had been there a few days but the white one was new

Riding a Sunday 200 south of Manchester, my companion pointed out the kinds of cars in evidence on the roads around Alderley Edge and surrounding area. A smattering of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Maseratis in amongst the more prosaic 4x4 Porsches and BMWs. It was all a bit weird.

Premiership footballers' territory, among others.

None of them classics though I suspect, just run of the mill modern tat, not jealous at all, often wondered if I had the money to spare to buy a Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Maseratis et al, whether I would or not.

Not that modern, now 30+ years old, there’s a big market for emerging classics just check out the prices of clean Mk 2 Golf GTI’s and E30 BMW’s

Another old Italian time capsule that looks like its just rolled out of the factory the year it was made, a 1985 Alfa GTV6.

I used to have a Reliant Scimitar 3.0 V6 Essex engine. Straight through pipes and sounded delicious. I uprated the cam and had the heads fettled over by an engine builder. Still not amazingly fast but you got from A to B Louder Unfortunately i had an imbecile go into the side of it coming out of a supermarket and because it is fibreglass, it crumpled like a cheap suit... I had some work done but i sold it on... I sadly lost all but one of the pictures as i had a Hard drive corruption and i didn't have them backed up. Still, memories are good...

Not really 'classics', more of a 'You Don't See Those Every Day'..

This morning, whilst nipping to a friends house after a visit to my barbers (1 )
This was on Potovens Lane, at Lofthouse Gate
I think the screen-bag for 'No VED'

I see this regularly, but rarely when in a position to stop

Circa 17:15

1. Her husband had a couple of interesting vehicles, including the one undergoing restoration/renovation
This is one of his fleet, which tends to draw attention from the '40-50 something' Officers

The newly acquired (well, about 6 months) was manufactured in 1969, in America, & will be painted in a colour by the name of 'Hugger Orange'....
I'm promised a good look at it, when completed

The Audi 100 and its 200 stablemate are thinking mans classics. The first mass produced cars to take aerodynamics seriously...obsessively seriously for the time. Very usable today if you can find a straight one.

A daily driver, I sometimes see it pottering around

Been out playing with my toy up Rivington today. New alloys fitted which finally fill the arches !

 

[Gunk]

Wow comrade, that’s a survivor 😮

Walking the dog this morning I spied a rather lovely Gilbern Invader parked on a driveway. Alas, I don't habitually carry a phone else I'd have snapped a pic.

My woodwork teacher had a dark green one in the 70's that's what got me into kitcars
