Time for a small [phone] dump.

Zoom deployed for the Bentley/Hyundai combo, hence fuzzy.

I've sat in this Merc as one of my friendly mechanics recently recommissioned it after 8 years unused. The new owner only drove it 6 miles and has decided he doesn't like it, so will sell already. We suspect wife displeasure is the real reason...it's a V8, near mint and is flippin' marvellous IMO.

Giffer owner of this looks the spit of John Le Mesurier.

Outside my back fence! The minor is owned by a girl a few houses down, her boyfriend owns a triumph herald that's a bit retro rides, but he dailies it, changed the clutch over a weekend, strips the engine every now and again and keeps it in fine fettle!

 

The landcrab belongs to someone on here I think, he was at sf16, and ive seen it about a fair bit

^ That Wolesely will be AngryDicky's mate Ed's. It's a very lovely thing, and the Minor looks a bit of alright too.

 

Bedford CA is a cracking spot.

That's the chap! Yes, the minor is in lovely condition! Had ignition issues a few weeks back though, think they've fixed it now!

Yes that van was pretty far gone, the side door looked as if it would fall off if opened, I couldn't take pictures though as an old surfer dude was getting changed there.

 

I don't know what the coupe is, only just managed a shot as it passed our hotel. I was thinking Nissan , I'm sure someone like SpottedLaurel will be along to put us right.

Wow, that Maxi is the exact double of mine and was registered in the very same month too. It's been untaxed since 1985 so I wonder where it's been hiding. Doesn't look in bad nick so it's got to be worth saving and hopefully won't get crushed. Are the club aware of it?

The people four doors up from us have this.

Usually only goes out on Sundays but it was sat outside this afternoon. It looks very clean. They also have a very tidy J reg Micra that I have so far failed to get a picture of. It goes out several times a day (and often comes back very quickly. We are suspicious of their activities but if they are up to no good they certainly aren't spending their ill gotten gains on cars) but despite only living four doors away seems to pass our house at about 50mph. In both directions.

Some stealth hoarder spots.  First one is a driveway full of P4s in East Grinstead and needs a better pic.  Only the one in front is roadworthy, the two behind have sat for decades.  I took this whilst chasing down a Citroen SM but he vanished!

Feral old Chevette hoarder was lingering outside having a smoke, so again this needs revisiting. It's in West Dulwich so the dilapidated house is probably worth 750k.
