I know Cullercoats, dropped by there in the course of a visit to Tynemouth and/or the nearby Crown Carvery in the past, nice spot.

Saw this in the course of getting some dinner yesterday. Nothing unusual about a Moggy, but this unrestored and rather knackered example (the extent of the rust isn't obvious in the pic) charmed me; not least because of the "Dedicated to my Mother and Father" script beneath the passenger window.

Clearly someone loves it, good luck for the next MOT !

Shame they couldn't find a way of distressing the plastic side window fillers.

anyone remember this ...
owner had the van a fortnight from new, been extensively keyed, got fed up so had it wrapped in this! 2 months later, not touched at all!! Vw had a Shock when it went in for first service!!!

am kicking myself for not snapping it on boxing day, walking the pooch up through Delabole to inlaws, a bungallow on the outer edges of the village being refurbished, at the bottom corner of the garden, surrounded by long grass is the garage, nestled inside is an red FSO Polonez!!

Timmo...............that looks like an eminently repeatable event unless the inlaws just get a visit once a year on Boxing Day :-D

Take your camera, act as suspicious as possible, and get us a gallery of FSO pics :-D

May even rival this one......the translation of the article header Samochód marzeń is "Car of Dreams"

Had my nephew down today took him for lunch at Hopewell Colliery café.
Had a wander around the site, spotted this tucked away in the weeds:

About 4 years ago there was another Gold 164, I presume the one now in the undergrowth was the "spares" car.
