re HG-95-BH: I had that same 'save the seals' sticker on my bedroom window! where did you spot that little Italian beauty wiv Dutch plates? About a mile from where I live; I left two damn great black skidmarks on the road as I drove past when I copped a look at it! Gobsmacked..... ;D Weird how that ended up in Suffolk... apparently still registered in Holland (since 22-08-1988) though no MOT-date known.

Pre war/40's car hints a being a Triumph with that waterfall style grille but I don't think it is - grill doesn't seem quite grand enough for one of those (Dolomite/Gloria) Perhaps Paul H will know? Do you think there's the chopped up remains of a lollipop lady who's been missing for 23 years in that shed? ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Good spots as ever SL ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

One or two repeats from recent autoshite offerings, but seen (and photographed) this week to comply with The Rules. I hadn't even seen the house before where the old car was found, let alone the car. Hope you're not right about the lollipop lady - thinking about it the one who I used to drive past has now gone...... ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) If it's any help, in the centre of the grile the little upstand contains a Union Jack emblem. No other badging immediately visible.

Drats ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I spent over 2 hours yesterday cycling around my vacinity taking pictures of local 'tat' - but since I don't have web access at the weekends I won't be able to upload them & post them here till later today ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) Could Suprisingskoda tally up my points in recognition for my efforts - even though they won't count I must admit I was quite chuffed with some of my spots - and found it incredibly addictive - alot of cars I knew the whereabouts of, but some I found completely by suprise. It was getting dark by the time I finished yesterday & I was getting cold - so the later pictures are somewhat blurred! I'm kicking myself for missing so many aswell - cars that I either passed earlier in the day only to return with the camera to find it gone or that the owners of the car in question were close by & I felt embarrased/awkward to take the photo

check your stuff over mate, not only does some of it appear to be your own, most of it is very far from the 'daily driver' requirement. The capri got points because with glass and lights it may well be legal again over the course of a weekend but let me know if it doesnt have an engine or anything which would render it invalid ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

To prove it I'm going to do myself out of a few by saying that if we're going by date of registration then a few should be changed to: TR7 1pt as it's 1981/82 (though doubt anyone other than Racer86 or Slater would have it on the road in a weekend!). 104 1pt (1983/84). 5-series 1pt (1984/85). M-B estate 1pt (1982/83). Can't remember how many extra points the 924 gets for its mod's, but it starts out as a 1-pointer too. I will claim a point back for the Land Rover, as it's a 60's registration. Being a done-up Land Rover however, the parts probably come from 73 different models. Amused by the dirtiness rule on the Carina - you should see the state of my Camry right now! It's sugarbeet harvest time here in Norfolk and the roads are spectacularly filthy. SS, as you're in NI I wonder if you're up to speed on our registrations? That'll age the cars for you, so V suffix is 1979/80, W 1980/81 etc, going backwards H suffix is 1969/70, and coming forwards G prefix is 1989/90. Love the Violet that you've found Datsuncherry, looks good from here.
