OV9

I don’t want one, I just like seeing unusual cars being kept alive and driven

Ditto !!

E30 M3 red, looked agreat but sounded terrible and running very lean.

Now I want I ride in the back. I thought it was a pick up truck conversion when I saw it from far.

That FMC plate, is usually associated with Ford Motor Corp press cars

Quirky '80s frenchness, great ride quality, and the GTIs were brisk enough.

We had 3 - a 16TRS on an A-plate, a 19 GT Digit (v. v. rare) on a C-plate and a facelifted 17 DTR Estate on an F-plate.

We saw them for the first time today at PC Nottingham. The missus thought they looked pretty good - especially compared with the Panamera...

My mind was elsewhere as they also had two GT4s and a GT2 RS in. As we left another customer turned up with a GT3 RS 4.0, so a good day for car spotting.

Volvo 850 estate in full 1994 Btcc livery. Not a quick 5min job either, but full on replica. Nice and low too, just needs some suitably touring car looking wheels.

Not in an easy spot to get a photo in the day, but was still there on my way home tonight, so you’ll have to excuse the beany spec photo

Spotted a 20-plate Unimog yesterday. In fact, I followed it for about 10 miles up the A46 because it cheekily pulled iut in front of me at a roundabout.

Crikey, they’re not slow! He pulled away from me as he exceeded the 50 limit. I also thought he was going for a cheeky overtake at one point on the Evesham bypass. They clearly have a lot of gears and aren’t DCT but the 40-50mph acceleration is impressive.

Near me I used to see a mint, dark green Maestro Turbo. A Nissan Bluebird Turbo and there is a purple 405 Mi16 4x4.

I want them all!!

Dave!

It's the Wacky Races on there. Without fail you will witness awful driving.

I still remember being overtaken by one car which was overtaken itself by a W205 C63 507, easily doing 140+

Then there's all the foreign trucks without limiters doing 50mph + on back roads

I think when the HGV speed limit was raised to 60 many went in to get delimited, I was following a lorry doing 75 last week
Rarely saw it before that.

Spotted a 550i BMW today, reg A550 BMW

I remember Tiff Needell having a manual E61 back in the day and thinking how cool is that. I've never seen one since.

Alcester bypass is the really mad one now; Evesham’s got a bit too much traffic on it.

Agreed

Did you use a fisheye lens, that one looks even more fucked than usual

The new Defender and Taycans are out in force, seen close to 10 of each over the past 24 hours. Also I saw a Seat Tarragon R or something - it looked like a Golf R on stilts.

Not strictly allowed as it’s a dealership photo but I had to post a picture as I’ve never seen one before and it’s so ugly - reminds me of a bottom feeder fish with a Kia style grill

Continued walking the dog past the Bentley dealership too - most improved car of the year goes to the Bentayga, much better looking but I didn’t get a pic as I had a dog lead in one hand and a sack of shit (he really didn’t like the Roma!) in the other.
