Somewhere in Somerset at the side of the road I found this frilly YotaIMG_20210423_103045_hdr.thumb.jpg.117c2cabf838477e4900ab17998a63be.jpg

I'm amazed that's still there!  It's been there for YEARS.  I used to pass it regularly when I worked in Bristol back in about 2005, it didn't look much better then but was in use as it did occasionally move.  Someone made an impressive effort many years ago to keep it going with a big tub of filler by the look of it. 

In fact, its last MOT ran out in 2008 and the previous year it had an advisory for

The Vauxhall Vectra next to it has not moved in a long time either

Couple of treats from my delivery last week. 

I walk through this underground car park every day but usually there are no lights and another car parked in the way so I'd never paid this any attention.

But this week the lights have been on so I noticed it. What I actually noticed was this.

It looks big under the tarpaulin but that could be an optical illusion. It looks 7 series sized but it might only be a 5 series - a proper one though.

Somebody here will be able to tell from the hub cap. 

 

Then this gem arrived and never moved for three days.

IOW registered with dealer plates, dealer sticker in the rear window and original trimz.

But this is the highlight. This house is owned by an old couple with a Sherpa camper in their garage that I've never seen move. They normally have a Yaris Verso on the drive but one day last week I arrived to find this.

That's some upgrade from a Verso (which may be a classic in its own right).

Ah, Verso still there then. Must just be visiting. Still, can't get much cooler than this.
