Pillock Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Actually I never posted the other stuff on the same road from a few weeks back Both recovery truck and car were still there today, just a bit grimier. See above. Window down, absolutely rammed with rubbish and a note to shift it off the pavement Been there months The Alfa photo above is a rejig of this Broken-Alfa-plus-commercial-vehicle scene Aston Martin and ProgRocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skut Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Tobermory car park on isle of Mull have this down at heel Vectra & LDV. The car park seems to be a dumping ground for the garage opposite. The LDV has no rear seats and full of rubbish and an old sleeping bag, The Vectra has a window down and is full of rubbish and mould. Stuck with big bills on an isolated island I can imagine some owners just opt for the easy option of the walk on ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 That poor CL500. One of the most stunning cars they ever built, once hyper desirable, now virtually scrap and an utter nightmare to run. I'd buy it. EDIT: It's taxed until March.

Pillock Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It's the road leading to the shithole of an HGV garage in Leicestershire where the lease company makes me take my car for a service to save a few quid even though each time they do it they mess something up and keep it for two days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone "in the know" told me that LDV had reached their credit limit with their rustproof supplier in 2003 and their account was on stop. Undeterred they carried on making vans regardless. michael t, Wingz123, AMC Rebel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think me and my brother spoke to the chap who owns them at the time, an explained that we are into Italian cars hence checking them out. We chatted for a while but he didn't seam like he wanted to sell anything. Would be happy to try again if anybody fancies saving one, as these aren't far from my Dad's house.

Burnside Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 This Uno's days are numberedHas a notice of impending doom stuck on the window. Sent from my PRA-LX1 using Tapatalk Where was this spotted? My Mum had a Uno Start Plus which mean's you got the 1372cc i.e engine as used in the Tipo in the same spec as the 1.1i.e. Our's managed over 185,000 miles before old age and rust ment my Mum sadly scrapped it.

Knowing Todds who own the land it wont be around long before its fragged. Given that its rammed with household shite Im pretty sure its been dumped by its former keeper.

Burnside Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 You local then Burnside? I'm literally three streets away from that collection Not myself but my Father lives in Measham, although I use to live there with him for about 5 years. My Brother brought a MK2 Punto about 3 years ago from the garage on the end for my Auntie where the Alfa 146 and 166 were parked. Have stopped to have a quick look at the cars for sale once in a while, just to see what they have. The last time I went there was a early Fiat Seicento Sporting in Silver and a Rover 100 5dr in BRG parked up too, which had both been left clearly for ages. https://goo.gl/maps/TYQ77C5etZK2 Still there when I passed today. Knowing Todds who own the land it wont be around long before its fragged. Given that its rammed with household shite Im pretty sure its been dumped by its former keeper. Thanks for that, agree it looks like all there unwanted junk and the Uno has just been left there. Must have been someone quite local for a guess, as you would have thought they wouldn't want to risk get caught moving a unlicensed etc vehicle. From the link on google maps I see Todds are the Caravan company? So in theory if you was to contact them direct you could see what the score was with the Uno.

Parky Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hah! I saw that LDV and immediately thought of Edie McCready! “I’m Edie McCready, I love to drive, hop aboard my bus enjoy the ride, when I honk mah horn, step inside!” My favourite bit was the way she winked when she sang “if it’s broke it doesn’t matter I can fix it with mah spanner” and I always used to think “yup, bet that gets a fair old use every day” It’s ok, I did have young kids at the time, I wasn’t some sort of mental case who Sky pluses Balamory to watch after a hard day in the office or whatever Lord Sterling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeRover Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 advertising that you like to TWOC vehicles on a public forum really isn't that great an idea applying for the logbook only really works if you have a really good reason to hold Lien over a vehicle (i.e. you are owed for work and /or storage) and you;ve made all reasonable efforts to contact the ownerSeriously there's pictures of armed scum posing with the latest motorcycles they've stolen on Instagram and Facebook and the powers that be do sod all yet you worry about someone shifting a vehicle with a distruction notice on it?

greengartside Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 image.jpg image.jpg This Manc plated KA has been sat in a layby on the A143 at Hepworth, Suffolk for the last few days. Not easy to see in the pictures, but it has a very impressive tidemark, a rotten fuel filler neck, and looks generally tired and neglected.Still there as of yesterday. The tidemark is incredible.

AMC Rebel Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Not near me, but I saw a TV programme called Airport: Below Zero about an airport in Canada. Apparently about 3000 cars and vans get abandoned there each year for various reasons. I was somewhat amazed at that number and the fact that people seem to have such disposable vehicles. In the episode I saw, the Fire Service were using a people carrier in decent nick for practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
