No Carryduff area.

Ah, there's a light blue one out this way that seems to be used everyday.

Does your own car count, the main reason I chose it is because I couldn’t remember the last time I’d seen one

That's absolutely class, had a phase 1 RTI and a phase 1.5 Sport. I love me a Laguna and would love another, odd as it sounds!

Mines probably rare but don't think they were ever very common compared to Golfs, Astras and Escorts

I see a nice Volvo 480 wedge thing when I drive to the MIL house.

Such a cool design. Same as this.

Unusually for a Volvo, rot seemed to kill them. Funky looking car

 

[andy9eleven]

Right nuff, it's ages since I've seen a Citroen ZX. What about you @Coog ?

 

[Jamie-g]

An old woman hoons round our local village in one of these (not this one but hers is identical) she’d run you over in a heart beat. Apparently she got done for 50 in a 30 she’s 92

Her husband has a Fiat Tempra although it’s been sat up a few years.

Saloon?

Over the last couple of days, I've seen more than usual...

Green Mk1 Laguna, standard
Green Mk2 Mondeo, ST24 wheels
Greeny-blue Mk2 Ibiza...

...noticing a pattern here!

I took a '99 E46 to MOT today and noticed that every other car being tested while I was there was 2008+
Old cars are a thing of the past (yes, how ironic...)

 

[Eager]

One car that used to be everywhere but seems getting much thinner on ground is the ep3 type R. They will soon be fairly collectible.

They’ll be like is200’s gs everyone of them has had the sh1t kicked out of it

Seen a MK1 Passat the other week, cool looking wagon.

 

[FM155]

Pity it's been 'eurod' but still a nice machine. Looks to be a 5 cylinder too..

Rare in standard unabused form for sure. We have one locally that's completely untouched (and seemingly unloved too). Quite unusual to see one these days that the boy racers haven't wrecked.
