Split_Pin Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The owner of that Kia must be holding onto it for sentimental reasons because I cannot think of a single other reason why anybody refuses to sell a car that they have no intention of using ever again, other than being a miserable bastard. 0ldCh0d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Had a wander through the local car parks and found these - the downside of free parking is free dumping. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddlethumper Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 This is in the car park of a pub that was closed down because of gang violence. Its been there two years I reckon. Not a good pic to see how green it is. In the background is a Micra that's been there for at least 6 months and since this shot a Scrote van, wheel less catering trailer and another car seem to have been dumped round the back. Edit, The Aldi is on an M plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSdriver Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I do tend to wonder if the owners of some of these vehicles, apparently abandoned like the Mary Celeste, are serving time at her Majesty's Pleasure and that is the reason why they have not been to collect them.

Some years back I used to drive through Dudley and the Black Country quite a lot and used to see second hand cars advertised from various pubs around that area. Shame about the Audi, 2.6 V6 aswell.

dougiefourspeed Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The cost of repairing many 'moderns' when something shits its self often outweighs the cars valueThis is of course true. But I'd still struggle to just dump something I'd originally spent thousands of pounds to buy.

quicksilver Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Overgrown Galant in a back alley in Rugby. Clean MoT pass in 2009 but came off the road shortly afterwards without being tested again and has been here ever since by the look of it. 1997 Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 GLS estate by Adam Floyd, on Flickr 1997 Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 GLS estate by Adam Floyd, on Flickr oldcars and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddlethumper Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The cost of repairing many 'moderns' when something shits its self often outweighs the cars valueI visited a scrappy in Kidderminster a few months ago to look at a bonnet for a shiter and got chatting to the owner after he saw my old bean tin. He had a Mk1 scrote Mex and a Ford pickup, the one before the tranny, Thames I think, with a crank tilt bed. Anyway, he was saying he didn't like what he did anymore. All cars (not only Vauxhalls) are shite coz they're plastic shit, says he. He had five 08 and three 09 cars there. Not crashed or dented but the electronic stuff gone tits up. Not worth repairing, seemingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 This was getting moved from spot to spot on the same street once or twice a week for quite a while but it hasn't moved for weeks now. The boot is sitting unlatched. Still taxed and has MOT until January, 108k miles at it's last test. MOT history suggests some neglect.

phil_lihp Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 An Alfa 156 estate with flaking matt black paintwork and brush-painted red wheels was improving the house prices on my road for months until the council finally carted it away a few days ago. I don't know who keeps doing this but the Alfa replaced the Kangoo van I photographed earlier in this thread, which sat there for almost a year before finally being lifted. Now that the Alfa's gone, a few feet away is an X-reg Clio which looks very tidy for its age but the passenger front window's been partially open since it arrived about 2 weeks ago and a swift online check shows it has no MOT and is sorned, The council are being very proactive about this one after taking months to deal with the last two, it's already got a council sticker on it, as has the 53-plate Meriva sat on a flat tyre further down the road, that hasn't moved in some time either. I live on a fairly quiet road which gets very little through traffic and has masses of on-street parking so I guess it's a popular dumping ground, I just don't get why you'd bother. The nearest scrapyard is about 2 miles away and you'd at least get £40 or so from them for a runner, that's what they offered me for the 45 if I drove it in. Both local yards offered free collection too, although they don't pay you for the weigh-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 There's been a Yaris in a lay by on the Snake Pass for a while, getting more and more vandalised over time. Wonder if it's been removed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Been driving past a 6N Polo which looks like it collided with a deer on the A272 for the past 2-3 months. There's been a Police Aware sticker on it for a month now, but it's still not been lifted, possibly because it's in quite a dangerous location..
