I enjoy everyone else's threads on this - here's some of mine, going back to xmas... I went, back up north to see the parents over Xmas: Here's a glance of my step-dad's mini in the garage: It's got 23,000 on the clock, owned by his mum since new, always garaged. Unfortunately, she's had to go into a home, so he's got the car now. Recently back from the garage after a gearbox problem, and a tiny bit of welding/rustproofing. It's a great car, 100% standard now he's taken the carpet remnants out. I'm trying to convince him to turn up @the Retro Cars show... Just across the A6 is this crusty old truck of warâ„¢: It's been around for years, has more dents and scratches everytime i see it. Needless to say, I want to own it really bad. Anyone know anything about the lights on the rear quarters? Our 240 didnt have those... A bit further along the A6 is this beauty: I don't especially like MG's, but this looked superb. ^This photo was taken as a drive-by, in the Panda of noise: My 2nd panda, now my belonging to my brother. You can just see my 1st panda, the panda of doom parked next to it. This is now my step-dad's next project. If anyone's got a spare fiat twin-cam lying around, let me know

I went to see my dad for his b-day just before xmas, and saw 3 ! kadetts in one day. I only managed to get 2 on film, and one of those is still on the missus' phone. This was the first one we saw, in Tesco's carpark. The missus and my brother just didnt get why I was photographing this... On another trip out, to Southport, saw a lesser-spotted mk2 scirocco - without the plastic body-kit: I think it had a faded southport dealer's sticker in the window it looked like it had been there all its life... Finally for up north, fairly random alfa shot:

Back on the island, saw this the other day whilst the missus was driving - apologies for pic quality: Anyone guess what it is without cheating? Round the village, spotted these: (seat marbella in the background if you were wondering) Anyway, I'm off out and about in a minute. Wil hopefully find a suitable land-rover to add to the collection Matt

Do I win a prize for the Mazda 626 pic?
I used to own one of those in *exactly* that colour - it had a matching burgandy velour interior.... complete with burgandy dash and steering wheel. Cool as flumps mate.

Just cos something is good for you doesn't mean its good for everyone - for example Marmite does not make good Dog Food.

Ace pics The Mini 25 brings back memories, it's what my Mum traded in for her brand new (at the time) Mini 30 B407 KWM. I love the pockets in the front seats ;D

Cool as flumps mate. Well yes you do! 10 points to Impmann The missus was going spare - we were sat in traffic, and i was taking photos with the flash going off She was sure they guy was going to go road-rage on us Here's a couple of others I got of it: (again, apologies for dreadful pic quality) I've never seen one before. Some from today: The guy with these Triumphs lives just down the street. I think his wife drives the Acclaim. It had been missing for a while, then appeared again last week with the damage Also around, but owned by someone else is this Acclaim: There's a gold one knocking about as well. I know an Acclaim would look so good boso'd

The rest from today: Owned by an old guy, doesn't get used much. Fantastic shag-pile seat covers. The neighbours of this have a RS2000, which is what I went to see (but wasnt there). Photo taken purely for the shock value! This mini was parked where there's usually a dusky pink one with a silver union jack on the roof. Looked very tidy. Not actually a minicab Spotlessly clean 1.3SR Nova. I love these wheeltrims Also took some pics of the fasty - will put them in the readers rides section eventually...
