Re: I-Spy Classic Cars-What have you spotted?
The XMs are all 2.5 diesels, they belong to John on the XM club forum. I think the one one the RH end is going to disappear completely before long.
But at least the undergrowth is keeping the sun off them.

Well they appear regularly at classic auctions these days. Looks more classic from the front than the rear if only because it has rather a large set of pipes.

Hell's bells, Peter. Make sure those XM pix don't get on to Club-XM site!

Re: I-Spy Classic Cars-What have you spotted?
My oddball vehicle spot from a couple of days back that got a proper confused look from me was an early 90s Ford Aerostar.
What on earth was *that* doing here? Definitely an oddball choice to import!

Maybe left behind by a US airman from one of their many UK bases, there seem to be quite a few Aerostars over here.

Caught this on my webcam yesterday, bright sunlight spoiled it a bit.

This was my first car in 1956. A Ford Prefect from 1939 plus my mother sitting on the wall she built.
Apologies if I have posted this before.

For all their shortcomings they still look fantastic I reckon and I'd still have one if I could afford it.
Have to claim 50 points for this unusual spot, only the second one to ever appear on the thread.
Went into a Vaux main dealer to get some bolts for a suspension strut today and occupying prime position on the sales floor was this............no idea why and didn't ask.
