55bloke Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Had a bit of a shite bonanza today- all the above were taken within about half a mile of each other, whilst I was on a trip to the local timber merchant! Think this guy has a fetish for old commercial Merc shite- there were at least 2 others swampled by junk and vegetation in his yard.and these were parked outside-Whilst this was just up the streetThey can all be seen in this pic, of old commercial Ford shite a little further up the street:Some 4 x 4 shite:French shite:J shite:Just noticed this in the above pic- more J shite?Brit shite:German shite- and probably my best spot of the year so far. Lovely Opel Senator- seemed to be in very tidy nick.More German shite:in the background of the Land Rover pic above, can be seen a VW Camper. The area seems to have the highest concentration of them I've ever seen outside of a surf festival! All of these are within a couple of streets of each other:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross_K Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The steering wheel locks on the Fester and the C15 are a nice touch.I'd say there would be more chance of pikeys hiab-ing 'em than some joyriders taking either one for a spin.Like the Unimog GR8 4 SHREDDING TREES.

Split_Pin Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Love this^^ I didnt know that Senators were still called 'Opels' as late a B-reg - wonder when they switched to calling them Vauxhalls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 How on earth has he managed to keep that MAN transporter parked on the road like that? You'd think the local authorities would have dealt with that years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I guess that a massif truck with another one humping it is harder to shift than your average polish-tax-dodger-mobile. I mean how on earth would they scrape it all up without causing some kind of humanitarian disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross_K Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It's taxed til October and it's insured according to the MID site...I doubt it's been near an MOT station recently though, judging by the grass growing underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Probably on the old "MoT exempt" recovery truck fiddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouseflakes Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It's probably been deemed to be harbouring a rare and protected ecosystem and has been declared a SSSI so no-one's allowed to move it! :DGreat stuff 55chap, this has to be some of the shonkiest road-side detritus on record!

Spottedlaurel Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Getting grass to grow around your vehicle parked on the highway is really something to aspire to! EL seems to have disappeared again, but I reckon he'd like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Leaving your vehicle long enough for grass to grow without somebody smashing the windows is an achievement in itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55bloke Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 So, it's not soggy anymore, and it seems to have brought a few gems out to play!:First, a rather tasty Triumph spotted at Rother ValleyAs was this CapriThis rather less well cared for Triumph has been sat in this front yard for a LONG time Another lovely Triumph in the supermarket car parkSame car park, same day. Not your usual grocery-getter!!Very nice Mk 1 Fiesta parked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
