Well, after 3 days (!!) cooped up in holiday inn on a management training course I needed some fresh air. So, inspired by a thread I enjoyed a while ago, I stuck a warm jacket on, put the ipod on shuffle and pedalled my rusty Peugeot bicycle round some unfamiliar streets. No multiple photos allowed (much..), saw loads of bays, and old mercs. Far too many garages hiding potential finds for my liking Of course, it's also difficult to take a photo of someone's drive when they are standing in it....... Anyway, here’s a virtual stroll araound West Worthing’s quiet suburban retro side, (just add a –5c wind for authenticity.) In the order I came across them.. James Gangster. (or is it Gangsta? hmmm kids...) One of many not yet shipped to Nigeria Very tastefully done. I want it. Screamed 'one lady owner', box fresh condition this.. Rust... I know all about this! mmmmmint. Look at that, two campers! greed..... 3.5 litres, owner was in the garden, schneeky. old. rubbish. old. brilliant. council limo. unintentiontal rat look, is that cool? Perfect first car..

The tax on this ran out ages ago, I might steal it. Commitment. Some things are just 'right'. Just let the poor thing die... £950, 325i, wanted it then, want it now. Perfect. Needs a machine gun on the back.... Poverty spec lovers enjoy... Not sure on this one. Check every drive, you never know. This photo does 9mpg.

Hello Cheeky... One of those great fiat things.. Even better! Trailer trash. £300 - lop 2 coils off, some dirty wide wheels - rude. Aerodynamic. Utter shyte, but I know some of you like this stuff.. Highlight of a poor day, look at the kit on that.. didn't hang around, was not a pleasant area... And for fun..... So there you have it, nowt exciting but got me some fresh air!! J

Top snooping! Very interesting stuff - glad to see that there are still plenty of retro metal still on the road! Oh, and I reckon that Sierra 4i is the dogs!

Both Lancia Monte Carlos I think, but with differing front-ends.

No no no chaps, you didn't read the thread, it's a 'Fiat thing'. Lancia Monte Carlo indeed, tsk.
