Daft as it may seem, I was quite excited to see this little car. Nice to see it being used and not SORNed for the bad weather. Can't remember the last time I saw an estate version.

Seen at Tesco in Newcastle under Lyme this afternoon

Could almost fit another car in the parking bay with it!

1275cc 1987 Austin Maestro City. Taxed and tested to November 2017, so presumably in regular use. MG wheels on it, presumably not original to a 'City' model?


5.7L 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Taxed and tested 'til next summer too!

Cool? Peronally I'm not sure on either count really, but I thought they were interesting to see "out in the wild" (even if they were on driveways at the time ) The joys of cycling - you spot more 'interesting' stuff from a higher viewing position, and are frequently better able to stop for a quick snap than if you are driving.

That Z1 looks nice, low mileage too going by its last MOT in 2013. I'm hoping to scratch my Z1 itch in 2017, that's my New Years Resolution!

I always referred to them as a Maestrocity (stress on the "o").

There was also a Metrocity of similar ilk.

Sorry about the quality, My phone has a lousy camera (Also sorry if I posted these pics before!)

We saw an estate one yesterday and commented 'there can't be many of these left'.

1941 Austin K6. It seems to have had a repaint too - it used to have 'RAF' on the doors, and a roundel on the front nearside wing. It's an odd one, as DVLA have it as "first registered" in 2010. Possibly rescued from a scrappy and never previously registered as a civilian vehicle, or perhaps imported after a life spent abroad.

Either way, I think it's the best looking of the British military trucks of that era, and it appears to be well looked after.

Never seen one in the wild before, think that it was real, it looked the part to me...

Hi Yellowjack

It's a nice old thing and only about a quarter of a mile from me!! I see it quite often!





When I looked it up, I had it down as 1939, I most likely got it wrong!!
