Saw an MG as per your middle one this morning. Didn't get a chance to take a picture. But from the dash it may have been a MG TC. |

seen a mk3 astra, those were very common but seemed to have vanished, I remember Blowing a one away with my dads 406 TD
 When he decided to try and under cut me  Also a Corsa C, those again were very popular, remember one of the lads paying over the knock for a 1.0 one. He got it roughly the same time i got the 306 HDI. He slated mine for been a diesel at the time, which i didn't know. He sharp changed his tune, when i over took him with ease going up hill once, on the main 60 limit. He said to his pal that we were racing, i was like was ? He told my pal what had happened, and said my car was very quick. My mate said that my car is a great bit of kit ( still is) He also said to him, just because its a diesel, no one said it was slow. Plus were you daft enough to race a 2 litre turbo Diesel going up hill in a 1.0 corsa? He replied well i did try to catch him. My mate just laughed. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

If you think Renault 4’s are rare you have never been close to Algeciras in February time when we have about 200+ of them floating around, it’s some anual run from France down to Morocco that they do each year.
But did see this the other day and also a nova Sri (no photo of the nova)  Click image to enlarge Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing. 5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details |

I never had a Capri but it was always on the wish list. A guy in the village had an Orange 1.6 which I’m sure he wished was a 3.0l or 2.8i. He drove it like it was. Great car to ride in. Loads of room in the front. Maybe a little tight for the those built for comfort rather than speed in the back
Ford got it right. A car that punters craved for. Saw my first new Capri yesterday and was extremely underwhelmed. I thought it was an electric Mustang to be honest. Another faceless unremarkable car - unlike the original |

Had a MGTF pass me just now there, Been a good while since i saw one. Even though i used one as a donor car for rover metro back in 2009/ 2010.
Hard to believe the MG TF was quite a common little roaster, now anything MG Rover based is very rare now to see. I often wonder what the spare parts are like now, the metro side of things was getting a little thin, back in 2016. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Talking of MG's I went over Newburn Bridge from Newcastle and passed these on the side of the road on the Blaydon side, two Rover 75's and a ZT, not sure what they are doing there.
