Today's Top Spot

[longboarder]

Big bloke in a Mini Moke towing a trailer with another mini moke on it, and at an indecently fast speed. A38 near Ashburton, Devon.

I saw a BMC 1100/1300 (ADO16) at the local Jet garage today.

Whilst following my GF on Saturday in a mini Dolly-voy, we went past a 1971/1972 mustard coloured DAF of some description. My GF got a wave from him but I didn't. Probably the last thing he expected to see after passing a Dolly was to see another one, one car behind

Not one you see every day.... How many are there of them?

Saw a DeLorean driving through South deerfield, MA today. Pick-em-up trucks are the usual fair in these parts.

OK not today - but on Saturday.

Ferrari 599 GTO - lovely car, went pretty well too - nice to see a Ferrari having some track action. First time I've seen the latest GTO.





Lotus 11 with a period V8 in it


And some chap in a rather fast Porky

I want to think that the rather tasty Reliant managed to hold off that Porsche for at least another couple of corners.

This SAAB 99;



Great opportunity to get a picture of two cars that share the same engine .

Exactly the same as mine! Only mine is in middle blue rather than amber gold.

Such an awesome car. Where did you see this? It appears to have EMS wheels and grill, though the wheels have been repainted as they should be 2 tone silver and black.

Is it an EMS or is it the 1973 example that was for sale a while back on ebay?

Either way, I like it and want to see more

[yellowmitch]

P.s just look how advance and modern the 99 looks. Even now.

Saabs are just SO GOOD

that is until GM ruined them by selling rebodied cavaliers.

I want I want I want

Mmmmmm 900 T16s

It was seen In Freshwater, Isle of Wight. I cannot tell you anymore about it I'm afraid it was purely a chance spot.

Seen on Tuesday, in Royal Leamington Spa, this Rickman Ranger, a kit-car based, I think, on an Escort chassis. It was made of the same sort of hard plastic of which conservatories used to be made, the sort on which algae grows very readily. And you will appreciate that I am interpreting "Top Spot" generously!

I came across this little haul of agricultural machinery rotting peacefully away in a corner of England...

Fenced off Fergie;



....and another one;



Which is probably hidden by nettles for most of the year.

and this strange Roller-type-of-affair;



Which the Hpi says it a

WALLIS & STEVENS

which is a new one on me!

White 1985/'86 2 door mk2 Cavalier convertible on the road from Totnes to Paignton early this afternoon.Looked very tidy and the roof was down
Quite rare and got to be a classic one day.

Admittedly not seen today, but such an unusual pair of spots that I thought members might like to see this Stanley steam car, seen outside a local cafe last month:

and, just three weeks later, another Stanley at the same location:

This is a really interesting thread guys, but I am shocked and appalled by the number of pictures that appear to have been taken from the driver's whilst on the move.

Please, please, please do not do this as it is illegal and down-right dangerous!!!!

My wife sustained serious injuries earlier this year at the hands of someone using a mobile phone when driving and as a result it is something that I have become very intollerant of.

I hope this thread continues to run and run as it is good to see older and exotic vehicles being used rather than just shown, but please let's be safe out there.
