Rare cars you’ve seen on the road.

Mine, there’s only one. Unique.

Sensible fella

Worst crash I had was in my first car and went into the back of a Smart. I was only doing 15 mph or so - the airbags didn’t go off but the bonnet definitely looked iffy.

The Smart was fine - took the bonnet off mine and the f***ing chassis rails were bent!

He’d stamped on his brakes and it was raining. I had nowhere else to go

They were up for a visit to the Aston workshop in Beamish .

Which to be fair is well worth a visit for anyone who’s interested in Aston Martin or older cars in general.

This bloke owns about 30 Aston Martin Lagonda cars.

I am often up to the Aston Works with graft, some unbelievable motors but one of the cheaper ones they have in atm is a gold with white roof Citroen DS, absolutely love those and this one is a peach.

When did he retire? Was only there a couple of months ago

About a couple of weeks ago.

Last time I was in he said he was just waiting for the cheque to clear and the shop was sold.

I'll miss the guy, he was a good laugh.

Most cars manufactured after the 1960s are as common as shite and nowt special to look at.

I much prefer motors from earlier eras, so much more character.

American gangster motors come to mind and those big old V8s from a bit later.
Lots of them in Sweden, though they only come out in Summertime.
I used to have a whacking great Olds over there, a bit tricky driving around the forest dirt tracks, but great fun nonetheless.

My son restores classic cars and had a 1951 Chevvy. On stripping the paint and the filler he found eight bullet holes in the driver’s door. It had spent most of its working days in Los Angeles.

If you go to Stanley you'll see people driving the same car as Fred Flintstone

This one's for sale and a bargain given the mileage

Speaking of Fords.....can’t remember the last time I saw a Sierra.

Good job an'all. The Sierra Mk1 was a hideous looking thing with disc wheeltrims, a droop-snoot nose. My then gaffer got a beige one which was an offence to the eyeballs. Looked like an upside-down jelly mould.

I spotted a BMW with working indicators last week.

Seen one today on the way home. Shocked really.
Then I saw a taxi driver do what they do best. Pretend no one else matters.

I remember when I was a kid the bloke who owned Harrison’s Body Shop was seeing a lass in our cul de sac. He’d arrive in various sports cars.

He used to have a beautiful red Audi Quattro.

I'm sure I drove past the Don on the A19 it was like a black MG.

Glad you told me.

I saw Bumblebee this afternoon driving down from the Fulwell Driving Range toward Cleadon. A yellow Chevy Camaro looks the biz in real life.

There is a Ferrari 360 parked in my estate atm, pretty sure they are just visiting, not moving in.

There's a 360 lookalike I've spotted on Chester Road a couple of times. Apparently it's a bodykit built onto an old MR2.
