Cavcraft's cavalcade of crap. Local honey.

[DodgyBastard]

yay happy to see your back, I hope all is well  
also nice to see the Lada again, I had wondered what had happened to it, I know your probably want rid of it? but im kind of glad you still have it/its still in the fold, as I still very much want to drive it again some time, this time on the open road so to speak  

I'd imagine the lada is long gone by now seeing as that post was from March.

Sorry, went a couple of months back now. Got plagued by a couple of proper, full on weirdos/nut jobs (worse than the usual) but it found a happy home with a nice bloke in Devon.

It's not far from you at all I'd imagine, captain. I'll message you details anon, I don't know the owner/s of the yard, it was a sort of chance encounter. It'd probably be worth going to see them though and having a chat.

Welcome back, our Billeh - missed ya!  

[Timewaster]

Cav who? 

[Cavcraft]

Some more recents...

 

There were two SD1s in the last photo, one a sort of red or brown or rust coloured.

Best guess is stolen and dumped, or broke down and vandalised. It's on an odd bit of land on an industrial estate, near an emergency exit road for a factory, 50 yards from a security hut I think. Amazed nobody has taken the alloys (and other stuff) off it yet.

I saw that Citroen Van  on the same recovery truck in Chester on Thursday!

Someone's definitely had some fun with the brick that's on it. I wonder if it belongs to someone on that site.

Broken down is my guess as well. It's vag after all. For that reason no one would steal it either.

Last tested in early 2016 with 200k on the clock. Last V5 in 2016 too. Looks like it's ready to be weighed in - best thing for it if it's anything like the fLabia of the same era. Bloody horrible things. 

[Cavcraft]

Wonder if there's a connection or its just coincidence? Hats off to whichever legend drove this over though...

Sorry to hear that you had headaches when it came to selling the Lada on.  Wasn't just me then...if that's the sort of crowd they're now attracting it may well be the last one I have as I can't be done going through that again.

[Cavcraft]

No worries, captain, it's just how it is these days, plus the bonus of being able to email two or three fuckwits saying 'sold for the full price' helped.

 

Meanwhile, them arches tho M8...

 

 

[AnthonyG]

I suspect they helped it pass its most recent MoT. The Union Jack sticker above the name badge on the wing is also an indication of TRUE CLASS. 

Much want for the 1960’s Lincoln Continental in Sunday’s pics.

Think I'm 'officially' a driver now, so expect more automotive old bollocks now and then.

Today's offerings...

[Cavcraft]

Monday I missed a bloody 'C' reg Freight Rover van that looked really tidy, as was driving. Next time I'm back in that area I'll have a little scout.

Today's effort was finally getting the chance to photograph this XJS...

Sorry @Cavcraft don't know if there's a general spotted thread so I've nicked yours 😜

[Matty]

Jesus wept. As I click back on this I see the lazy spotters thread above! Sorry pal 🥺

I think Vectra estates of this era have aged very well, would that be Satin Red?

No problem, captain!

Other side of town today, looked amazing.

WANT!

I actually saw a black Saab limousine today, but wasn't camera ready. It looked as rough as a freshly sandpapered badger's arse, hope to spot it again one day.
