Virtual revels to whoever can identify this car - got a better view of it as it drove past but I have absolutely no idea what it it. It was quite short and stubby, had tiny wheels, and was loud.

I remember seeing those Cherry Coupes in the 1970s. In purple and other cool 70s colours, I think.

This morning, I has mostly gone along to a local-ish cars n coffee meet (in Paisley).

First time I have gone. Real mix of interesting shizzle, and stuff for which I was having no interest. (Like an Insignia with blacked out windows all round and a mirrored windscreen - how the fuck doesn’t that get pulled over regularly???)

Anyway - some badly composed snaps:

Excellent variety 8-)
With that post you'll be known as McPeterlplp.



Two spots; G reg Integrale in red and filth. It looked fantastic and like much fun had been had down the wet & mucky lanes, which left me a tad conflicted and thinking "no! You can't use it like that :o " for a mo. Second spot was far, far cleaner, but just as rare and likely to rust; a Ford Racing Puma. 'twas standard, very clean, on trade plates, and looked like it had more ground clearance than I recall, but it didn't have MSA spec mudflaps on so it might have just been an illusion.


Edit; just remembered I saw this on the motorway then in services as well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224884118178 ... SwX2BiBpjb

I saw an odd one the other day. A mk1 Evoque but someone had chosen to paint it like a Defender (I think Marine blue with a white roof), Looked horrible, didn't suit it at all.

A Polish truck driver was just waving his cock on the M20 whilst parked up in operation block today. It wasn’t just a post pee shake but he was standing in the central barrier and actually flashing it to oncoming traffic :lol:
How about not having a sig at all?

The boys are really getting into cars now. Every journey is about what cars we see, and we're driving specific routes so they can see their favourites.

Took them with me to the shops today, there's a Sainsbury's not far from here that's close to a large private estate of the kind where £5m+ is entry level for a house, so there's always good spotting by the Costa across from the supermarket.

Boys weren't disappointed: Huracan Performante, 488 Pista, F-Type P450 and a few other lesser things.

In the parking lot there was also an BMW iX. Not as big as I thought and rear/side view not horrendous, but front is gopping.
