Okay folks, instead of having a bunch of seperate spotted threads can we please put our spots as replies in here.
If I was a bit more organised I'd have put up my spots from the weekend. Sadly I suck...

Aw, I'll miss the clever work that went into spot thread titles. Perhaps folk could just use bold to create a title within their post! I must get a camera phone, then I could actually input something useful.

Is the the place for a little guidance as to what goes into a spot thread. I'm sure I'm as guilty as anyone of including tat thats of no interest, but....
vintage, veteran, "thoroughbred" etc. type classic cars, stock or modified = in Work-a-day classics (Minors, Beetles, Anglias) stock or modified = in hot rods, customs, "NSRA type" vehicles = in Misc yank tanks, muscle cars, hillbilly pickups = in Chrysler 300C, Dodge RAM, Dakota, Durango other "common" yank stuff = out oddball yank moderns = in? JDM oddities old or new = in 1990s UK market j-tin = out Exotics = in modern sports cars = out kit cars = in? etc.
Is this about spotting retro cars per-se or about spotting odd and interesting stuff owhich is in use and on the roads?
any disagreement or further suggestion...?

I can forsee this being an excellent thread. My first contribution - some sort of grandad wagon with fancy alloy wheels spotted while I was waiting for the MOT on the Fiat ;D ;D ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i158/clowo16v/Image001-1.jpg) Was so tempted to try and get an old duffer who came on the lot to sit in it for the pic lol.

Less of a huge haul today, but I bagged me a humdinger at the end. Dyane spotted by Muriel on the M25. ![](http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/BrianDamaged/spottage08/stuff058.jpg) Golf Cab/Celica (Supra?) combo in Aylesbury. ![](http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/BrianDamaged/spottage08/stuff059.jpg) Tidy early 700-series Ovlov, again in Aylesbury. ![](http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/BrianDamaged/spottage08/stuff057.jpg) More-door Scrote Ghia in Bishop's Stortford. ![](http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/BrianDamaged/spottage08/stuff061.jpg) I love this. Shonky pic of a 2nd gen Camaro poking its nose out of a driveway in Waddesdon. Do you think she's trying to buy it?? Might just have spotted The Little Old Lady From Pasadena. ![](http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/BrianDamaged/spottage08/stuff060.jpg) Forlorn Porker in Launsdon just outside Bicester. ![](http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/BrianDamaged/spottage08/stuff065.jpg) And finally......this: ![](http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o11/BrianDamaged/spottage08/stuff063.jpg) I'm 80% sure that's a mid-50's bonneted S-Type Bedford. Looks to have been there for donkey's years. If it was a car I'd have said it was beyond redemption but having seen some of the projects the truck restorers have undertaken over the years I'm not so sure about that one. It's in a field just outside Launsdon headed towards the A41.
