Lazy spotters thread

Hell yeah. LPG converted as well.

Unbelievable chod!

Monaco country sticker, Bulgarian reg, now abandoned on a depressing industrial estate in Soest. Unlocked, smells of mould inside. I probably catched a deadly disease doing that. RIP me.

A bit further down the road:

I’d drive this any day of the week*
 This is apparently something called Lada Kalina Cross. Never saw one of these before.

 

*that’s not over 27C

[EyesWeldedShut]

Dumping a load of mixed scrap (£7 for a battery?) today and this rather forlorn wee beastie was sitting where I think it was next to be cubed

Just clocked this after being upgraded to on site parking at work. Not turned a wheel in 4 years but might be for sale apparently.

Surprisingly tidy Picasso spotted when I was out and about today.  I'm used to all of these I see these days being absolutely hanging by a thread.  This looked to be quite well looked after.

Still reckon these were cleverly thought out cars and that a well sorted one will drive surprisingly nicely.

Fantastic!

It’s always amazed me how people get away with all that on the street. If it were me I’d have some interfering arse neighbour going mad about it followed by some moron from the council threatening to have it all towed! That’s assuming it was even there long enough to survive being vandalised or stolen.

They don’t look to have moved in a long time.

The Urvan Camper is somehow MoTd! ☎️ Someone must've stolen the wiper blades😂

Behind it is the bed of an old Honda Acty that's had the cab cut off. Piled high with rusty tin.

Yes, this does annoy me, as we see so many spots of old shite left on the road like this for years, yet my son gets fined for his Bini in resident’s parking, albeit a lay-by, sort of, for having no MOT, when it’s insured, sorned and not in use.

Spotof the year for me!!

The NT sticker says it all and why it is good condition.

A couple of Cotswolds spots from earlier this week. 306 has just over 45k on the clock, only covered around 7k miles since 2006 according to the MoT history

[worldofceri]

Carlisle.

[neil72]

A couple of local landmarks, the Merc has two cats living in it as the kerbside window has gone, the Sierra has been about for years and is a well snapped car locally.

Pair of Transit County vans heading south on the M1 just south of Daventry today.  Mk II and III.  Not something you see every day!

[straightSix]

Spotted on Zoopla 

 

[puddlethumper]

Saw this immaculate Riley in Torquay B&Q. One owner, bought in 1953 by the lady driving it. Lovely.

Diesel!

Today, I learned all about pencils at the Derwent Pencil Museum. Also, they have a van.

Shame they never made a Bedford HB van.

They did, but only as a special order for the Swedish post office!

I think the driver saw me taking a photo and slowed down to give me a clear shot through the traffic, and I saw his partner evidently asking something along the lines of "why is that guy taking a photo?"
