No, nothing of the dodgy kind

Was wondering what unusual cars you guys have spotted coming into work, not necessarily exotica but something a little different.

Mine today was:
AX GT
VW Corrado G60

Cheers

Mercedes C63 AMG - started in front of me at petrol station and sounded like god of thunder. Then sat waiting to leave the petrol station it waited for a gap big enough to get an artic out - some people don't deserve their motors!

Was it metallic grey by any chance with last 3 letters SPL ? If so I see it quite often at BP Harthill South, the natural territory for a 6.3l C Class

Guy in my work started turning up in an Austin Maestro Clubman D.

Some cars you just never see on the road anymore, probably for the better in this case, it really is a piece of poo. I did find it unusual though.

I used to have an AX GT which was 6 yrs old when I had it in '95 and even back then it was on its last legs, fair play to anyone still running one.

That is fairly cool, but not a turbo...

Would love one of those. So ugly that they are now a classic.

Never owned one but many many years ago I did drive a mates 7.0 litre Buick Wildcat on a couple of occasions. It was a heap of crap & slower than the Capri 1600 I had at the time, but it really was an event to drive it as it was sooo different to anything else on the roads at the time.

Saw a Fezza 430 this morning in Rutherglen, ice blue colour ( the same as Mass's 360) with a black softtop

when to drop off the BMW for its MOT and the garage had one of these in for a new starter motor (apart from it was dark brown

).

Very cool Sunday car.
