I dragged the old camera out today and found a few choice wheels on the way home....  Dunno what this is hiding in a garden......  Yank tin....Luv it!  Crusty old wagon No 1......  This is immaculate....and he used to have a Rover 3500SE Sd1 as well!  Crusty old wagon No2! And what a rarity, Hyundai Pony......this is a mate at work's car, bought for £185 three years ago, passes the MOT every year, never spends a penny on it! He does get complaints from the other 'managers' about it being parked amongst the company Eurotrash, though!  |

hiding in the garden is a 1955 or 1956 Chevy. Very good find.

Nice pic's MN. As you live by the seaside you'd hope to see a few oddities around owned by the retired folks. Hyundai's great, looks clean.
American car a '55 Chevy?

Dad had one of these........ I dream of owning a V8 one of them one day. Not fussy what V8, just a tidy one. Maybe a Merc or Lexus one would be nice. Along with Airbags and matt black paint, plus wide steels and hubcaps. |

I agree with MBT. Anyone remember the white one I posted a while back? Seen that driving a couple of times since, seems to have a rather nice burble and I wonder if that has a V8.
MkI hub caps on the Granada?

it's possibly an export model (although RHD) which has been re-imported in much the same way as nickb's truck 'o' war.... there are also a trio (i think) of G40 polos, two on an S plate and one on a T which went to Saudi but never got registered, then reimported.
My GTE is a 1990 built, 1993 registered car due to being in Ireland for a few years. The last owner was sold a private 'J' plate for it by the DVLA, who then three weeks later wrote him a letter telling him he couldn't use it!

The T plated Dub was probably brought over from one the Isle of Man. For some reason cars brought in this way don't seem to get age related plates. I know of an N plated Sierra (actually a 1993 car) that this happened with.

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.
