One of my favourite threads on the blue is one where a chap called Glen is restoring one of these. I've never seen one in the metal/wood.

Why does that always happen. Just like when you stop in the middle of nowhere for a much needed slash😁. Btw I'm old enough to remember when those BRS vans were everywhere, especially in the vicinity of railway stations. I remember those big old GPO Morris Commercial vans too.

Body in front in just that, the rear body off a Luton type van.

Ian_Fearn Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Just spotted this in Cyprus, it’s a v12 HE too. Looks completely abandoned. It says Coombes on the side, is that something special? Exported in 2008 apparently, just in time for the financial crisis that this place never seems to have recovered from. bunglebus, Shite Ron, MrGTI6 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankytim Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Our local MP has got in on the whole dumped car spotting thing. I wonder if he went round with a Harvey Frost crane equipped smiley transit pickup and dragged it away himself for scrap. uk_senator, AnnoyingPentium, LT84 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 He’s hilarious, I remember an interview on Newsnight or similar, where he was defending the latest BoJo related fuck-up, and he managed to say the name of his constituency about 12 times. From memory, it’s a long name as well ‘Stoke something, something and something’. Said repeatedly it sounded quite strange, like he was fulfilling the terms of a bet or the like.

Ian_Fearn Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Another Cyprus spot from an underground car park. I don’t know much/anything about beetles but this looks like a really old one to me. Doesn’t look like it’s seen the light of day for a VERY long time.

He seems to be an alright MP on a local level, he's very involved in the community and never seems to take a day off. He can't seem to behave himself on national TV though and often comes across as a bit of a lunatic. MP for STOKE NORTH KIDSGROVE AND TALKE!!!
