I haven't updated here in 6 months thanks to the forum plague deletions. Therefore some of these I've no idea why I took the photo, and suspect it may just be the motor was so hanging it amused me.

Have some West Country shite:

This was up for £700 with MOT at a local scrapper.

And this was being driven by a highly attractive young lady. There's hope yet!

Around July/August I moved, so these are either Welsh or South West, but it gets a bit confused.

This is local to me in Wales. I think it's a Stellar with a v8 conversion judging by the lovely noise. Need to get a better picture.

I don't know why, but something about this "1.9 GTi" doesn't look quite right

I towed a Pugeot 308hdi taxi with low fuel pressure fault codes to RM8 (Dagenham?) and spied this Transit (T766LTW).

 

Looking up its history shows it only done a handful of miles a year (53k) never failed a recent test,has been untaxed since early 2015 and best of all its a rare petrol jobby so can still go into London.

Looked very straight / solid too.

Saw this in Sevenoaks but not a patch on the Transit.

I spotted this burgundy bad boy while pootling around SE London on my bike yesterday. Judging by the dirt and the fact that it appeared not to have moved for a while, I assumed that the MOT would be due, or already expired, but no, it passed one in June, and with only 61k on the clock too. Sadly one of the original Vaux wheeltrims appears to be missing. If anyone's interested I'll pop back and get the number...

IKEA carpark, if I could be sure of seeing quality like this, I'd let myself be dragged there more often.

No idea what it is, but it's clearly no trailer queen

Been trying to get this Volvo in Tottenham for a while. Not that it ever goes anywhere but its down one of the less friendly streets around there and there is always someone about.

Perhaps those caulkheads aren't too fussy where their 'special' sausages come from? Very 'League of Gentlemen'.

Random phone picture of a Maestro; I was waiting for a bus in Gourock and this was sitting outside the library.

This is epic, found parked in Southend today, although I cannot claim full spotting credits as AngryDicky found it last week and tipped me off...

This little trailer has been left on a service road for some flats in Sevenoaks for years.

 

20161103_103351_zpsz4wbyxhr.jpg

Terrible picture but this Triumph looks like it has been sitting outside the above flats almost as long as the trailer.

It's on an S plate and has green moss starting to grow on it.

JMY449V a three litre no less,the mot history makes for an interesting / disturbing read.

This is a regular sight in Gravesend and is often parked kerb side with a Honda Jazz for company which seems to dwarf the Ford.

 

20161114_112657_zpslwgzrgq1.jpg

Spotted this GMC truck outside an industrial unit in Charlton earlier.

 

20161114_112639_zpsm8osgs35.jpg

Outside the same unit was this ZIL131.

You are not going to bump into another one of these anytime soon.

Recently on the ebay tat thread this one turned up a couple of miles down the road. This was also today and was on the back from a metal recycling companies flat bed.

 I hate to think what the underside of that 2.9 litre XJ6 is like after being parked on grass for five years. :(

Around the corner from the Maxi was this lovely old Austin something i'm guessing a 12 or 14 ??

This now-becoming-fairly-rare Surf lives locally. I'm pretty sure the owner is a spanner monkey, and the fact it must still have a head gasket can only be a good thing.
