Dumped cars in your area

[Lacquer Peel]

Possibly. It would make sense that it's something high end and unreliable.

[Pillock]

I reckon so, the line down from the taillamp to the arch matches that better than the "uggers" one which is horizontal (assuming the car is intact)

Nice one 😎ðŸ‘Â

Interesting, both my cars have had private plates at one point but since changed back.

 

However, typed in my dads personalised plate for his 2012 Volvo and it gives the original plate form his previous 2006 Volvo.

Sweet! Interesting site. Out of all the vehicles I've had, only the 827 Coupe previously had a private plate which was only a Norn'Irish-syled one: LIW1777

[HH-R]

Excellent, my Rover 75 lives on! I thought it must have been put on a private plate because sometimes the original reg shows up on the DVLA sites, sometimes it says "I can't go for that (no can do)".

[HH-R]

Seems pretty daft that on the DVLA MOT history site, the private plate inherits all of the history, even if the new plate was only on for a year or so...

[HH-R]

The Zafira on the previous page hasn't been dumped, the owners have just lovingly parked it up its daily dose of McDonalds and crayon.

Just tried the ukvehicle.com site, interestingly, I put the reg of my 1991 MX5 in, as it spent it's life in Jersey until 2013, when it was first used in the UK, it says it doesn't need an MoT (as it's less than three years old as far as UK is concerned) which would be at odds with DVLA then!

Never found out the story behind this one. Sat in the parking lot of a strip mall in this spot for 3 or 4 years straight. Was in decent condition too, apart from the left rear window being punched out.  Finally vanished when the parking lot was repaved. No idea why it wasn't towed, unless it belonged to the property owner...

** nothing to do with bub, don't worry!**

 

Found this today!

 

Some bits have been stripped off it the the rest pushed off a steep bank somewhere in the depths of Wales

 

I'm back in that area next week and if its still there I'm having the alternator away for mine ☺

[Pillock]

Does anyone know if Bub's OK?

[dugong]

😳

Oy indeed.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Does anyone know if Bub's OK?

Haha was just just editing that as you replied!

[Pillock]

We've got a RAV4 dumped at the side of the M1 J22 roundabout - life expectancy low, since they're widening the roads and it's right on a bit that's getting dup up imminently. And just round the corner, there's the remains of a Ford Focus that's been burned out in a Travelodge car park. Scrap man's had neither, which just shows the price of metal.

[Angrydicky]

There's a Lithuanian registered Opel Astra estate dumped on London Road in Dover. It hasn't moved in a few weeks and the steering wheel is covered in mould.

[bub2006]

Can I have the tail lights please tom

[D Spares & Tyres]

Haha yes OK if its still there next week! ☺

[Arthur Foxhake]

I have not seen as many abandoned cars in Chesham for about 15 years. They are everywhere.

I'll get some pics tomorrow.

[Urko]

By 1970, there may be 700,000 cars a year being junked:

I really hope some littering cunt leaves a Focus about so I can fuck off with its back bumper.

[Split_Pin]

Oy indeed.

WTF happened to my post there! Looks like a big 404 on an emoticon or something!

[Ghosty]

There was a 2003 Polo dumped near my local Aldi with front end damage for a few weeks but that's been lifted now.

There was a Grand Voyager with no plates and flat tyres on a street corner up the road from me, but eventually a paper 'numberplate' appeared (a private plate was taken off) and now it's somehow been moved back to its original place on a small driveway off the road, but the tyres are still flat.

There's a Peugeot 106 (an S2) with a broken rear window (sound familiar?!) in a layby on the Sheffield side of the Woodhead pass that's been there a fair while. Probably unlikely to move as it's either Barnsley or Sheffield council's problem and it's closer to Holmfirth than either of those.

[bub2006]

Haha yes OK if its still there next week! ☺

Id be tempted to go down mysel,parts are hard to find these days!

[fred]

There is a C max thingy at the back of my cul de sac - today, wheels gone, and back window put through. 56 Plate - if its not on fire or owtI will pap it on the Morrow

[Arthur Foxhake]

 

All within a mile of each other.

[greengartside]

Shame about that red Fiesta - I wouldn't mind giving it a new home.

 

205 did well according to MOT online, 183k miles at last test.

[Arthur Foxhake]

The red fiesta is almost immaculate. Bar the badly repaired bump on the rear bumper it is clean as a whistle. Even the interior is very clean.

Shame really, guess it needs a clutch or something that rendered it worthless*.

Still new to me,even at 14 years old.

 

Edit to add, it is still MOTed till June or July. Crazy.

[HH-R]

A dumped 205? Is it 1997 all over again?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

I seem to recall that if you owned a truck, you could just go and get it and inform the council that you have removed it and are storing it. The 205 and Fezzer need saving. Maybe the Passsat. Not the Mr Two or the Pueuegeout.
