Today I seen a rare sight  A Vauxhall Viva, no rust, no dents, in perfect condition, and it was bright blue rather odd to be seen in the center of Glasgow ;D |

 Beautiful navy Jaguar 3.8S (mid 60's most likely) that I spotted while out getting lunch today. I spent a few minutes just staring at it slackjawed heh. |

On arriving home from work this morning, I discovered a lovely old Fiat 500 Abarth parked at the end of my road. L reg, which I think dates it to the early 1970s, and bright yellow, like Woodstock in the Peanuts cartoons.
Such a cute car! Or maybe 'sweeeeet!' ;D

 I saw this abomination when I was in London recently. As if the Prius wasn't an ugly, slab-sided, heavy, thirsty monster, this one has been decorated with green tomato things. I have no idea why. The Prius is supposed to be environmentally friendlier but it didn't do my environment any favours, looking like that. Yuck! EDIT: Just done a bit of Googling (god bless Google!) and now I know what it's all about. Green Tomato Cars (explains the green tomatoes) is an environmentally friendlier minicab company. Thank god for that, I thought someone might have done it to their own car on purpose, but as a brand it obviously works. I have seen them a lot in London in my week there. I even took a picture while we were waiting for the NTA. I will post them later |

I used to get taken to Sunday School in a Vauxhall Viva. It was olive green and there was a mark on the back of the passenger seat that looked like someone had been sick down it. I hated that car!

It hated cold and wet weather and would refuse to start on a regular basis. We all have to start with something, I suppose  |

Turns out there's a brand new Jaguar XJ-R that parks next to my bf in our apartment building's garage. Gorgeous thing. Wish I could take a spin in it.

Seen again  Walk around London for a few hours and you will see a bunch of them. |

I saw something truly hideous today, as I was waiting to cross the main road near where I live. It was a new VW Beetle, which is in itself not too bad, but this one was painted in...pale candy pink! Ye gods...!   Luckily, about ten seconds after that, I also saw a light grey Ferrari cruise past; I think it was a 612 Scaglietti, which I like very much.  It served to cleanse the aesthetic pollution of my vision caused by that bloody awful pink VW!  |

Pink cars = wrongness.
But very useful if you're playing car snooker.

I touched a Peugeot 4002 Crikey, how/where did you manage that?! (presumably in France...) It's an amazing looking thing. Looks like a big, giant bug with Shrek ears - but in a good way  |

The end that looks like it should be the back is the front  |
