Went into Birmingham today to see Mum. As I drove in, I saw this:

It's on a publicly accessible field space, but not normally accessible to vehicles as there is metal fencing around the whole perimeter except for a gate that is for the council's access.

Seemingly, this was breached by tinkers who stuck their caravans on there. They were eventually evicted, and the whole field had been freshly cut too but this poor Land Rover was left behind:

Also, on the way in, I passed this:

Looks like someone smashed into this at speed. Photo taken on the way back as its a large lane that is 2 wide lanes going into one.

The second pic doesn't surprise me, when I stay at my dad's I'm often kept awake by people doing 60 odd along the 30MPH road he lives on

On the subject of the Lagan Cortina - the Danube says ‘GutenTag und hold mein bier’: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2gp3zmkpmo

A German army motorcycle in remarkably good condition, plus two deceased soldiers, uncovered in Budapest.

Apparently there’s also a significant amount of sunk ships becoming visible , most scuttled by Ze Germans in the Second World War.

Re. the abandoned Discovery. It's a shame to see this as it looks like the top HSE spec despite the debadged tailgate. It looks like it used to be very well looked after before being done over (unworn interior, steering wheel cover, shiny bodywork, all the book-packs etc.). But the saddest thing is I remember like it was yesterday What Car? voting the Disco 3 Car of the Year 2005.

It will be an outstanding stolen that's been running on fake plates before shitting itself and being left behind.

This would have been a maximum of 12 years old then, and even from this picture looks to be very rusty indeed.

From the angle of the front wheel I’d say the strut top rust-through has well and truly occurred, a known weak point on these.

Saw this the other day, apparently there since the first lockdown

Automatic,  59 bhp... love it

^ From memory (it was some years ago I wrote that series of books about old filling stations like this), that’s in Suffolk somewhere and had the wheel of an old US bomber kicking about. Might be wrong.

Nahhhh, that's in Devon. On the old Plymouth to Totnes road, address being near Harberton but actually kind of out in the sticks. I used to drive past it on my commute when the A385 was shite.

I think I posted it in the old thread about filling stations circa 2015. It looks pretty much the same now as it did then.

When I was a kid, I always remember a red MGB had been dumped at my local Asda and I wanted it.

Have we had this one? It's not in my area, it's in Guernsey where it wouldn't even warm up before reaching the other side of the island.

[martc]

This is very much closer to my area however, it has been here for absolutley yonks and hasn't moved an inch. Kilham, near Driffield.

This rusty Transit has been parked on the edge of my estate for the past fortnight. Bit of a pain in the arse being left where it is.

I had tried reporting it to Norfolk Constabulary but their website doesn't seem to work properly (website maybe put into hiatus mode on weekends?). I will try and report it again in due course.

Papped many times over the years, that one.
