Nice in the double black, but can't tell whether it's a Pulse, Passion or Brabus as there's some old Peugeot in the way.

Good old buses these 505s, where did they all go?

This morning i saw a mk1 e-type on the rocester level and a mog traveller with minilites on the A50 that looked like it was sitting very low on the nsf corner.
Sunny day = cool cars!

I saw this MK1 Ford Fiesta in Hastings to-day, sorry about the photo quality.

I spotted this one yesterday, I was out on the bike and it's round the back of a farm- these were one so common you couldn't move without falling over one! This is the first time I've actually seen it properly because the undergrowth hasn't sprung up yet, the Essex drought has made this trail rideable early, it's normally a mud swamp until June at least by which time you can't see it . I reckon it's probably a bit to far gone to save now. There's a yank pickup behind it and an old tractor of some sort too.

Thats my Missus on her way to town

The bloke who comes round here with the fish and potatoes used to run a MK2 Van before he swapped it for a slightly newer Nissan Sunny one, his hadn't broken its back but otherwise looked every bit as rough as that. And he wonders why more & more residents trail all the way to a town for their supplies.

I saw a whole herd of old Alfas today on the road across the moor from the A1 to Wooler via Chatton Mast, must have been some sort of club thing but t'interweb doesn't throw up any clues so goodness knows. Most of the ones in the group were on Netherlands plates.

Are they still building them out in Nigeria?
I used to have, in my bookmarks list, a Peugeot car configurator site from the African Peugeot operation that allowed the viewer to select their colour, trim type and various other options before viewing the Peugeot 504 of their dreams on screen.

Hmm, just had a look at the Nigerian Peugeot site and they've now gone all modern. The current range is as per Europe apart from the 406 which is still built and sold out there.
Can this mean that at long last, it's no longer possible to buy a 504 or a 505 anywhere in the world?

Does this count?

It was on the back of a low loader parked on the A50 on Monday. (I couldn't take a pic as i was driving but it was this engine looking much shinier than it does in that image)
