    Spotted this today

    Thought i would start this thread on things that are spotted while out on your daily chores.It can be anything from a racecar being towed down the motorway,something in someones shed,a customised car gone bad,anything rare or even funny.I spot alot of stuff on any given day some cool some strange.So lets see what is out there. . .

    ..apart from the Bentley Mesh grill, I actually like that 'Flower'!...Different, even if its deemed 'Ugly', a shit load of quality workmanship has gone into this 'Green Machine' !!!......................MJ

    I think this car is absolutely perfect and well proportioned .
    The Packard style front from the 30s.
    The headlamps flow right to the rear wheel arches.
    This truly is a magnificent work of art .
    Never tire of looking at this as the knife edge coachwork is so complex.

    Wow, love that Triumph. Be interesting to know what powers it.

    Not a car but, dropped into a mates workshop while down North Shore on Tuesday and a guy had bought one of his collections to show him.

    I did not believe my eyes when I saw it.

    This was the bees knees in 1974

    It IS new 1974 Kawasaki Z1 900
