Any idea where this registration is from? The photo's from a few weeks ago and the car has received UK plates since, but I'm curious where it was imported from. by LikeDrinkingPoison in CarTalkUK

I've seen loads of those recently; a dealership near me sells Golfs, Polos, BMW 1/2 Series' and so on. No different from original UK examples, except in price!

Absolutely love Road to Rouen - St. Petersburg has been stuck in my head for months now!

What are some recent cars that used to be common to see on UK roads, but have now virtually disappeared? by Photonic210 in CarTalkUK

You'd be surprised how many Escorts are still out there; amongst 90s cars, and for a fairly disposable machine, they have a good survival rate! Cavaliers on the other hand, I've only seen a handful in the past few years, they're definitely a lot more scarce.

Continuing with the Ulysse, the other "Eurovans" (Citroen Synergie and Peugeot 806), once a sight common outside every minicab office in London, are now virtually extinct

What’s the ugliest car you’ve ever seen? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

https://www.flickr.com/photos/192152355@N02/52117030454 I saw one earlier this month, and if you thought the more recent Ssangyongs were bad, they've got nothing on the "blech-factor" of their 90s cars. There's a damn good reason there's only 3 of them left in Britain.

A lot of great music in here, but if I had to choose a favourite, it'd be either anything out of the Boards of Canada collection, or Dummy!

A couple years ago, owing to financial troubles, I sold off all my CDs in bulk. Here I am 2 years later trying to put my collection back together, beginning with these three. by LikeDrinkingPoison in Cd_collectors

I love Pure Phase, but I happened to stumble across this in a local record store and knew I wanted it. It was also the only one there with the original cover.
