Dumped cars in your area

[fatharris]

I just like to think the 308 driver had a limit of how many warning lights he would have on the dashboard and when the fifth one lit up, he pulled over and just walked away calmly and smartly.

Today I saw a 206 dumped on the side of the A16. Might be there because of a breakdown as I saw it driving with an exhaust that was hanging off and scraping the floor on either Tuesday or Wednesday. No pics unfortunately.

^{Apparently that 308 is valued at £2260 to £3285 by Parkers online valuation, get you laughed out of the showroom by any main dealer dot com so have to wonder if something is not right with the rightful owner;}

There's a woman in our street who drives some real chod. A few years ago I freed up a seized rear drum on a Mazda 323 she was driving at the time. She told me she buys cars at auction, drives them till they expire then gets another. That was the last time we spoke.

 

Anyway, currently she's currently got a mk2 punto which shares driving duties with a Citroën synergie held together with masking tape.

 

Of more interest to me is the mk4 disastra she has - this hasn't moved in months and is minus its front bumper.

 

How does one usually approach these things? I have a feeling she wants more than scrap money for it otherwise it would be away already - I have to live near her so don't want to insult her but as scraps on its arse it would cost her money to get shot

 

Thing is you can leave cars in our estate for months or longer with no tax/mot/insurance so she's not likely to get any bother over it either

[Split_Pin]

Just ask her if she has plans for it?

This has now been sitting on the slip road on to the A2 coming out of Bluewater Shopping Centre for well over a month.

 

Its a locally registered car still with tax and mot on it.,just wondering if its driver was a bit elderly and has had a shunt and been hospitalised since.

I done saw an old Army bus which looked like a weird Land Rover conversion from 1981/82 by my local cannal which has been there for a week and a Reliant Regal Supervan which has been in a hedge for years!

[sierraman]

Just make sure when you are asking this woman across the road if she's got any plans, that she knows you are on about the car, otherwise she might think you are asking her out. Top tip there.

Maybe I should let SWMBO do the asking then.

 

However I can't imagine that conversation would go terribly well. I think id get as far as "you know that minging astra up the street with no front bumper...." before she'd have the one eyebrow raised glare of "don't even think about it"

Mk4 Ashtrays are worth nowt even in concours condition so I wouldn't bother with a buggered one.

[Split_Pin]

^^You dont even know what you are talking about.

[sierraman]

I don't mind the Astra mk4, not a bad car, but with a good one worth £6-700 it's not worth the fucking about if it's shot. If it just wants a few jobs then it's worth a punt, but if it wants big work to get it to run again I'd forget it. I mean it's hardly like dragging a Lonsdale yd41 from a barn and lovingly restoring it is it.

Judging by the disabled sticker on the rear, which shows a wheelchair user slipping a ponytailed sort one, I'm not so sure. I bet it's some local whippersnapper leaving a carpark meet trying to give it all guns to some bewildered bloke in a Celica, and then stuffing it.

In what way? There's literally thousands of them still trundling round in working condition and plenty available for £300-1000 working so why would anyone bother with one that's been sat round, presumably for a reason and missing bodywork?

I've come across a lot of cars that have been scrapped or sold because of faults that don't cost much in parts - its the labour, if you can't fix it yourself and someone wants £300 to do the work.... got my last Felicia in similar circumstances, failed MOT on corroded brake pipes. Took me a weekend to fix in a leisurely fashion and cost me around £20, and that was replacing the entire system with copper. Think the owner had been quoted £200 to fix

Not sure what this burnout is at the side of the line twixt wakefield and leeds. Or how they got it inside the perimeter fence.

[jakebullet]

Stolen, joyridden, stripped and dumped dyson (?) near Leeds station

 

 

Yes, I spend a lot of time looking out the train window on the way to kinky girls.

[Crusty Sills]

There is a Renault Clio in a layby on the A11 near Norwich, it's been the a few weeks now and it's having more windows put through on a weekly basis.

Can't help thinking the local vandals a mere amateurs as in my day it would have been burnt out within a week!

Think it's an 04 plate will get some pics next time I'm near.

[greengartside]

If you go further up from there and travel the Norwich Southern Bypass, A47 Eastbound from the A11, there's a Nissan Almera Tino on a '52 plate in a layby that's been there since before Christmas I think.

[Partridge]

Noooooo not the V70!

[Uncle Jimmy]

Someone dumped this Paseo in front of an abandoned car dealership a year or two ago. Was there for a few weeks before it was hauled off to parts yards unknown.

 

That color!

 

Hrummm, is that a Paseo? The headlights/indicators look the same as my Levin. I is confused.

The Passat has been in my local train station car park for a while now and I just noticed the Avensis today. Only reason I notice them is because I arrive early at the station when there are virtually no other cars.

[ChinaTom]

Dumped by the old railway line between Netherburn and Tillietudlem.

 

There's a Pug 406 on the first storey of Enoch Q-Park in Glasgow that's been there for quite a while. What's to stop someone whipping off the front number plate of the Pug, attaching it to another car, arriving at the barrier, taking a ticket, not driving through the barrier, put the plate back on the Pug, pump up the tyres, "gaining entry" (ahem), charge the battery, fresh fuel, then drive it out for the cost of an hour's parking? It is Glasgow after all.

 

Apart from the lack of T&T, insurance, dubious legality of any of the above. But it is Glasgow after all.

[Felly Magic]

The A14 westbound has 2 dumped cars, one near Ipswich is a silver ShittyRover, and near Woolpit a burgundy mk3 Mondongo

Wow, do you live on Krujoe and Explosive_Cabbage's farm too?

[Guest bangerfan101]

Working in Bradford today. I've just found a series 1 xj6 jag 4.2 with a garage collapsing round it. She's a beauty. Surprised local Land pirates haven't weighed it in

[D Spares & Tyres]

There's an 06 plate Citroen C4 on the A5 near Wrexham. Been there for over a week so far, the newest dumped car I've seen yet!

[Split_Pin]

The Passat I posted earlier has gone but the Avensis is still there. DVLA regularly clamp cars in this car park so it won't be long until they find this one!

[RoadworkUK]

 

I felt so sorry for this 78,000 mile Astra Merit(!) that some cretin has clearly had his wicked way with prior to dumpage that I wrote a story about it.
