The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Spotted two modern supercar looking things yesterday. Probably McLarens as I was in Woking taking a diversion around the well stuffed up M25. Not had a chance to check the footage from the gumpack camera that lives attached to my passenger sunvisor yet, I'll post stills when I do.

Today at Bracknell Halfords car park:

When I filled up today at the local Morrisons I saw a white Stag pull up and I even recognized the driver.

This weeks spots outside 'Martyworld'

Not a car, but interesting nevertheless - while waiting on the hard shoulder after KSF ran out of electricity after the alternator packed up, I saw this come in to land at Heathrow!



Fair enough, the Airbus A320 didn't exist when this Air France livery was used, but it certainly made me look twice!!

Yes please!

Funny that u use the M25. I would just carry on up the M3 and A316 to get to the east end. They join up in chiswick anyway.
I always reckon on avoiding the bit of M25 from M3 to M4 and the M4 itself is pretty crap inbound around tea time too.

Just a thought.

Yesterdays d**k of the day, click the pic to watch:

Naturally there were no baffles on the POS. Notice how he looks around about 100 meters up the road, wonder what his monosyllabic and v-e-r-y v-e-r-y s-l-o-w thoughts were.

Tonight,just after 5 pm MGB roadster in (Valencia?) Blue on a K plate heading down Bridgetown Hill,Totnes with roof down enjoying the sunshine

Just ahead of me going up the same hill at the same time as the MG coming down,a Metalic Blue G plate Fiat X1/9 unfortunately with targa panels in situ.

Both looked tidy,especially the Fiat which I haven't seen one on the road for some years

A Y reg Metro that unbeleivably is moving under its own steam1


And a Landie that isn't.

I saw this in Elland yesterday...


Sorry about the poor picture quality. I took it on my phone.

Good number plate!

Very nice Dark blue Toledo in Eynsham - I got a piccie, but I'll upload it in a few days when my PC has been reinstalled...

Is it anyone from here?

Had a job come in on Friday to collect a box from Aberdeen to get to Northern Germany ASAP. Box duly collected and I met the Scottish driver at 10pm Friday night just outside Derby. An uneventful trip to Dover but was greeted by several classics once 'over the water'.

Due to being dark for a lot of the trip and passenger (camera operator) being asleep for 90% of the journey you will have to take my word for it.

In no particular order............

2 x Renault 8's together heading into Calais Port so possibly spotted in England over the weekend
Renault 4
2CV Van
Renault 5 of mid 80's which had every panel damaged but was still tanking along above the speed limit
Lots of Volvos including 141 142 240 340 360
Moggy Traveller (UK registered spotted just outside Zwolle in Holland)
A few Mini's
Audi 90 in 'Well Used' condition. It was for sale but Mrs CC didn't see its potential or fancy driving our car 600 miles home.
Peugeot 404 Estate
Peugeot 505 saloon and estate
Peugeot 305 estate towing a caravan that most Travellers would be happy with albeit rather slowly.

On the way back through Holland on Saturday I managed to rouse the photographer to get a couple of pics.

Spotted this approaching from behind. I was doing slightly over the 130kph speed limit at the time It passed me and went off into the distance pretty quickly Then somewhere around Antwerp or possibly back in Belgium this was plodding along A lot of what we would call classics are just everyday cars in Europe. Only the Peugeot 404 Estate and the 2 Renault 8's looked like they were cared for, the rest being used as intended.

Just as I was about to get off the M40 at Warwick in the early hours of Saturday a Mk2 Transit recovery truck was going Southbound.

Saw this early Rover 800 Vitesse yesterday, lovely condition ;

Spotted in BP today
