Crap pic (sorry!) - saw this on Friday - 8 series - was wondering when I saw it...850 or 840...and who buy one and why today? Then I saw the Alpina badges...must be a rare car if real? Looked good in the mostly modern traffic anyway if the rear suspension looked a bit low?

Lovely looking cars the 8 series. I know there's one in the north east with the reg plate 850 BMW. Saw it driving down the A19 past the OK Diner early in July when the hotrod meet was on, shame it didn't pull in as judging by its MOT history it is very rarely used.

There's a couple of them in Blyth. A maroon one and a silver one. Epic sounding machines.

Spotted either a Mitsubishi Starion or MK3 Supra on the A19 earlier on. Couldn't work out which it was but it was white

Spotted plus a thanks.

Newcastle city centre yesterday - parked next to a silver 987 Boxster S. The driver very kindly gave me the parking ticket she was not using and still had time on it, allowing me to pop and collect some paperwork without it costing a million pounds (central Newcastle parking prices for 10 minutes. biggrin ).

She was also a bit of a petrolhead and knew her Porsches.

So on the extremely slim chance that someone here knows who that is....thanks!

"Sima Tesco"

Only someone from Shields would understand that term.

I saw a chrome gold Merc C class outside central station last week. Hideous.

Orange Mk1 Escort van in Wideopen on Wednesday morning. Complete with black RS2000 stripes. Too far off to gauge condition but it was certainly an interesting spot.
