The other side didn't superficially look so bad until you realised that the inner and outer sills were completely missing. This is not even close to the shonkiest thing I've seen on the road so far yet either, just a pretty typical example I came across in a parking lot. Cars here literally get used until they can't function any more. Which state is that in? I felt like stuff really was generally getting run into the ground both around Nashville and Vegas, which is why some of the roughest cars were from the mid to late 2000s, with barely anything alive before that time. It's quite a stark contrast to what you see here (where cars looking brand new get scrapped) and quite unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustybullethole Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Not a car as such though many old wheels off different makes and models. Spotted old rover, 2cv, granada, be and transit steels plus many more around the back of a local building which has been in the market of late. So wish I had the means to buy it room to live and store all my tat. CreepingJesus and Yoss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankytim Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Spotted this Mk2 Escort and time warp trailer yesterday outside my home, simultaneously papped by my daughter too! Also parked next to this intercoolered up Rover 100. Presumably Elise powered or something?

Six-cylinder Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I went to collect a small set of shelves from a house on normal local estate, I could not believe what was sitting outside a nearby house.

Schaefft Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I better start now before the backlog becomes too long. Marrakesh appears to be the capital of the Dacia Logan, Renault 19 and Fiat Uno.

Schaefft Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Still a few 405 around as well. The first gen Infiniti FX was a big surprise despite seeing a few US imports. I still wouldn't mind an FX45 in the copper color these were available in at launch. Dyslexic Viking, Six-cylinder and CreepingJesus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
