Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

Just passed a 50's chevy. Did not get a photo but luckily the Web has one of the very same truck.

No photo as driving.

"Lane closed due to stranded vehicle"

It was a Goldwing on the hard shoulder so they had to close lane 1 just to be sure

Ferrari and a Ford. Just off Park Lane this morning.

If ever you've been stood on the hard shoulder of a motorway, with passing vehicles (often trucks driven by tired drivers) veering across the solid white at the edge, you'd be grateful for a closed lane too.

I was at a BikeSafe event run by South Yorkshire Police a good few years ago and they had a display of photos together with the largest remaining bits of debris from an incident where a guy riding a BMW bike broke down and had just pulled onto the hard shoulder. He was just about to get off the bike when a truck veered onto the hard shoulder and ploughed into him. He was killed, and the biggest bit of the bike that remained would have fitted in a small sweet tin. Scary stuff.

You are not wrong. The other day I saw a broken down car on the hard shoulder. The owner was perched on the bonnet bouncing a baby on her lap despite there being space behind the crash barrier

I'm going to go for.: A clone, where the plate to clone has been selected by someone who only sees a 212 coupe & doesn't realise there is a visible difference. ??

Unsold, sat around until heavily discounted to move on

Oops, bit blurry! Spotted near the Oxo Tower. Couldn't afford a front number plate?

You'd think that would be a problem at MOT time, but the current one expired 3 months ago anyway

Would be a fail on the MOT - which is maybe why they didn't bother!

I had lunch at the OXO Tower a few weeks ago - very nice it was too. Then some cocktails and dinner at Brasserie Zedel

So committed the same 'offense' twice in the same spot???

Or maybe just collected them from different locations and didn't bother to open them. That particular space is a taxi rank, anyway.
