Trappy OP Forum is my life Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 5,390 Essex	Originally Posted By: Trappy Thought this thread would be a good place to put cars that you might spot that need mentioning. Just the other day i clocked an RS200 on the back of a lorry. first one i've ever seen. Last week i saw a couple of cops in a fully marked police Lancer Evo 8/9. Sod that coming after ya! Yesterday i saw something that needs mentioning. A Ford F350 pick-up truck. Now this thing is huge to start with, but the guy has fitted enormous, 2 foot flared arches to the rear of it and added a couple of double tyres. all in, it was at least double the width of an old escort cabriolet that was next to it at the lights. It really was the most horrendous thing i've ever seen... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I've gone full circle, over three years after starting this thread; I spotted another Ford F350! Just as horrible to see as it was the first tiem around F**** b**** thing...

nyssa7 Unregistered N	Saw a Mk 1 Granada/Consul Estate last week. While I remember the Mk 2 Granada Estate being as common as hell, my sister-in-law even had one, not sure I even remember the Mk 1 being made as an estate. Certainly don't recall having seen one before Other recent spots I forgot to post up include the Roush Mustang

Davie Unregistered D	I saw a red mk2 RS2000 escort lose the back end round a very wet roundabout towards Kendal the other day, looked good and dont think i've actually seen one on the road apart from on the way to an RS show or similar, pretty rare.

Kayjey Club Member #10 Je suis un Coupé Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 9,729 Zele, Belgium	Spotted: Lancia Aurelia B24, actual show car chassis number 001. Top restored condition worth a few 100.000's. Also on the same spot a Lancia Aurelia B20. And on the same spot a Mercedes 300SL (convertible). These are actually owned by a newly discovered family member. Guess I'll have to start going to family parties more often. - Kayjey -

Davie Unregistered D	Some great photo's there mate! Looks like perfect scenery for it aswell. Shame you dont see more day-to day classic escorts, suppose they are worth so much now even a stone chip reduces the value on them, which is a shame, a nice sight on our roads esp if driven with a bit of commitment hehe

And the two chaps who organised that particular meet are RS Escort owning North Wales police! For a bit of rare car spotting today, the Renault Alpine club are having a small pub gathering this afternoon at Headless Woman on the A51 near Tarporley. Anyone in the area today might catch an old French plastic wedge or two smoking along!
