Vehicles owned by Outerwear members?

[Tom71]

Trying to buy a new car. New generation of company cars comes with a mandatory company-label (about a sq-foot big). Thats an absolute no-no for me.

Covid-times: No showroom-cars, no test-drives, no discounts - everything that´s being produced is off to the new owner straight away. Lead-times up to 14 months. You buy used, your likely end up with an upcharge (!) of 5%, or so, just because you beat the queue...
Maybe it´s just my taste; I could always go for an Opel or Mazda, of course...

More like 25% from what I’m hearing..

So is this a label that is applied to the outside of the vehicle? What on earth would such a regulation be applied for? Seems like an obvious theft-intensive action as anyone would know it straight-away. Preposterous idea to me.

The state to the "East" of me has a special license plate required for all rental-cars. Similar deal in my eyes - once known, it will be looked for an attract thieves like a magnet as it is obvious a traveler’s car and likely not a resident of the state.

Yes, a permanent label. I´ve been told it enhances my loyalty to my employer. Doesn´t apply to members of the management board though, for "security reasons".
For me it simply means, I avoid the costs of a company car and drive a fun car of sorts again.

Crazy. Indeed.

Crazy market but indications suggest things should get better late 2022.

1967 Ford Falcon Econoline and 1974 Lancia Fulvia coupe. Not a ton of speed here but loads of style and smiles everywhere we go. View attachment 390482 View attachment 390483 View attachment 390482 View attachment 390483

Oooof! Beauties

All tucked in … Heavy rains coming …

Spring and summer camping weather is close at hand.. Go Go Gadget Jeep!

Well the mad Clio V6 has gone!

I'm a crusty and we're only here the once so towards the end of the year it'll be replaced by one of these.

AM Vantage V12S.

Hey why not

79 MGBGT .... had 4/5 MG's over the years and decided I'd try and get another "good one" ... has cost a bit on mechanics but most importantly it hasn't been messed with

 

[MrProper]

Even if here almost only vehicles with wheels were posted, I want to show my latest acquisition (and a reason why there are currently no new leather jackets).
It's called OC-1 (Outrigger Canoe), weighs about 10 kg and is pretty fun especially in waves.
And this is what it looks like when you have fun with it:

You see that Aston Martin above, did you know that a reborn MG is going into that market? Save your pennies and you might just find yourself behind the wheel of the all electric MG Cyberstar.

Full points on the fun-scale, full points on the sustainability-scale.
If you tell us, you’re using this „vehicle“ fir your daily commute, we have a winner.

I have paddled July, August until today almost 500 km, but not for daily commute. But that would be nice

Following on from the post 6 months ago that an Aston Martin V12 Vantage S would turn up, this one did!
Exceptional thing to put it mildly.
The old fart in the background in the last pic wearing a biker jacket might just be me

Incoming Caterham CSR, looks like my Eastman B3 might see some action

I don't have a fancy car, but have an idea for a TFL bumper sticker:

"My other car is a Buco", or Thedi, or Taubers, or whatever you like. I bet more than a few ppl would say wtf.
