Out and about... Retro Rides is the reason why I NEED a better camera phone ;D Absolutely MINT Benz: What would it be - a W115? E30 Baur, it was absolutely gleaming: Still a common sight, but they are disappearing fast: "...and when they met, it was MOIDER!" I see this all the time, surprisingly tidy: And I had to do a bit of research to work out what this was! Reliant Ant

Love that first Merc Darren, and the old Pug van is cool too. As for camera phones, I just got a Sony W800i which seems really good, 2 megapixel camera and 512MB memory card as standard. Far better than my old T610 camera phone on which the camera was completely toss

Excellent work Mr W! Here's some of mine from last weekend (when it was sunny): Gorgeous little suzuki I cycled up this long hill in the hope of finding something retro and all I found was this poverty spec 5-series. Love those wheeltrims Another street, retro gold mine: Crusty truck of war® with more guarding on the lights than a Norn Ireland one (same on the back) "1st edition" LHD Newbie - in white. One of the first made I believe. Behind it is a splitty under a sheet, so it's ok. 2x escorts. This guy also has a capri in the garage, but that photo didn't come out Also on the street was a Cav. 135 GSi (or something similar). I didnt have my camera with me when I first went out- when I went back it was gone, but i've seen it again today - I will get a snap, honest Closer to home: And 10 points to anyone who knows what this is - not exactly a common sight on British roads:

Oops, missed a couple- including possibly my favourite one of the day: Incredible condition saab. The owners have more in the garages - Keep meaning to say hello when I go past. Will deffinitely do next time. I should also say - I wasn't actually stood in the garden, honest. On a new housing development where I counted 6 new mini's in about 10 houses, there was this: Top notch, looks to be in great condition, yet is obvioulsy used properly daily. Full marks.
