This was probably the last Fiat X1/9 I saw in the rust



This one is an altogether different animal, and a nice colour.
Would cause a reasonable stir in the supermarket car park, very rare sight on the roads of the UK now.



Anglia Car Auctions 26/27 June

Our family doctor had an X1/9. He zoomed through the bus station one day - no car access there - smashed into a bus, smashed the car and smashed both his legs. A girl I worked with was in the bus station and saw it happen.

muddy orange

Not a new picture, but one of a car I bought for my daughter because the colour matched the opulence of the model, the nearest to proper Gold I have owned and she fell in love with the furry interior!!

Own work

Rather than change the title, I'll just bludgeon off topic. Not that keen on green cars although its bright enough. Don't know if its a special edition thing of the MR2, it had a quote from Colin McRae on the front "If in doubt, flat out".

I reckon if it moves me to click the shutter its unusual enough to catch my attention, but I definitely wouldn't say it was one of my favourite colours.

I came up behind this Jaguar at the lights and really liked that colour shimmering in the rain!!

Own work on the Oxford ring road!

About the only slight variation to the exterior rendering of 99.9% of all cars since they first hit the road in the late 19th Century, has been the odd two-tone paint job.

The custom brigade of course and a bit of vinyl wrapping gives unlimited possibilities, but as far as what comes out of the factory....boringly conventional, and we have had a proliferation of dull offerings in recent years, still very much in vogue, although with the odd exceptions.

VW have recently issued some images of a "Near production ID5 GTX" in camouflage to be seen in the flesh at the
IAA Munich Motor Show on September 7th 2021.

Maybe they should offer the camouflage as a factory option

I can't help wondering where you would have to park it, in order for the camouflage to be effective?

Next to Timothy Leary's bus.

50 points for an unusual spot, and because its purple its as well dumped here as anywhere

I presume that is the new beetle based pickup kit but I have to ask, what's the point? Surely not big enough to replace the caddy?
