Here's a plan, Pug spotters!

Post by DaiRees »

Most of us have got camera 'phones right? How about every time we see a slightly unusual 406 (or 7 tremmy :wink: ) we take a snap. I'm not talking every one we see (there'd be millions of them on here), just ones that jump out at you because they're a bit special somehow. We've got plenty of pics of members cars, but what about all the others?.... Maybe subtly modded, maybe drastically modded, may just be a very nice original one, or maybe even carbage! :lol:

Post pics here with when & where info!

Wadda you reckon?

Love the idea!

Too bad I have the only modded 406 that I have ever seen here. :cry:


I Just ONCE would like to see ANYONE under 70 driving a 406 here. :cheesy:

You git Dai.

I was thinking of posting up something similar recently called 'out and about' where we take 'picters' of other rare or unusual cars on our travels.

I think I will just combine this with your idea.

So it shall be 406's/7's AND other interesting stuff along the way. OK?

Coolio, let's have a "Four Oh Sixes & Sevens" thread, a "Different Rides" thread for the unusual stuff (excuse me if I post lots of pics of very modified 4X4s :cheesy: ) and an "Us and Our Pugs" thread.

Actually as far the rare and unusual stuff goes, I'm going to a Classic and Specialist car show on Sunday, our 4X4 club (The Usual Suspects Cymru 8) ) are exhibiting. I'm going for the "least worthy entrant" prize with my bog standard Suzuki Samurai :lol: . Anyway the point is, I should have a few new pics of nice cars by Sunday evening.

Judging by the phat loys, lowered suspension and low profile tires, I'm willing to bet he raced into the back of a bus going slower than him.

Well mine's not that memorable, but still worth a punt. First, one for anyone who hasn't seen a rear wiper on a saloon,

Then there's this. I never thought anyone would give a damn about a Nexia, but someone obviously does:

Nah mate, into the side of the bus, me thinks the bus pulled out in front of him. Notorious black spot that! Mind you I wouldn't be surprised if he was speeding up there :? .
