Meanwhile, an abandoned Mk.2 Golf has recently been dragged out of the front driveway of a house where it had been sitting for many years.

Left by the side of the road on the way to Brent Cross, looks like it's waiting for Barnet Council to come and remove it. Still,  hasn't stopped one hopeful would-be shiter from leaving a note....

Possibly not yet shite, but a future candidate.

Spotted this opposite my mates garage the other day. Haven't seen one in the flesh for a while.

On my state mandated amble through the village. 

A nice Rover 25, a forest green Astra estate with a bit of lacquer peel and a V6 mondeo ghia X no less.

I can't bring myself to take a picture of the telly and I can't find the advert on yootoob, but there's a Delorean masquerading as a taxi in the current Sky Vegas compulsive gambler exploitation advert.

Yesterday's highlights. Golf failed MOT 14 months ago at 247,000 miles due to terminal rot. Also a high-mileage diesel Mondy, a 1961 Popular & a tidy low-mileage Megane.

I keep spotting these two local grot bags on my way out for dog chow. Must resist urge to inquire if they’re for sale and return with more cars instead of food. The Megane has had its rear passenger window smashed out for a while now so it’ll be extra ripe

I posted a pic of that Mister2 the other week old bloke, walked past it when I was on a stroll. 

Saw this outside Bargain Booze - Cannock's NUMBER ONE bargain booze store..

It would appear to be red underneath.20200523_133751.jpg

I offer you a Mitsubishi Legnum which I saw today (and yesterday) near Worthing. I could have put this in the “Cars I never knew existed” thread.

Forgot about that, much better picture than mine.

Different route tonight, an  old school Transit Recovery and a Jap van, two Nissans, the Micra interior is full of junk and a Beemer down on its rear end

Popa Spart had one of those Mitsi Legnums, it was genuinely fast and was just as capable in the wet.

It struggled to do 30mpg on a steady run though.

Couldnt take a picture as it was in oncoming traffic but Ive seen a pretty run-into-the-ground red CX Break in Amble, Northumberland today. Theres got to be someone on here who kows who's it was.

Stopped behind this at the lights today. When he took off it smoked a bit and stank.

@The Old Bloke Next Door do you know what, I'm bloody certain I saw that Micra at Chase Corner car park whilst on my walk this evening. Two lads standing outside it, doors open, with music of the bass variety, pumping out. If it ain't the same one then there's two of these about! Same wheels, same colour, striking thing to spot, and I thought about taking a photo of it but thought the lads would think I was some sort of nonce or somet.

You need to walk the dog round the block a bit more then, I've been nodding at dog walkers when I'm doing my lap of exercise, but not knowing you or your dog I am none the wiser

Spotted some more interesting stuff this week:

On Friday, I came across this nice Holden EH/EJ Ute:

I HATE these things, passionately hate them. There seems to be a proliferation of them round these parts. Old RR's of this "vintage" make me angry without reason. 

Sorry to anyone that owns or desires such vile objects.

This was in Hamble this morning.

Then I took this one whilst sat at the bus stop eating ice cream.

One wonders if care in the community is working.  I know we closed all the asylums, because well frankly autism isn't a reason to put someone in residential care, but you've got to think there is grounds for sectioning, drugs and electric shock therapy.  Perhaps to the ballocks?

The Allegro looks very nice, I would prefer a picture of that, it is in the best colour and an LE has great seats also. The Focus is very grim.
