Wingz123 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 .Think ive seen this but cars like this all over London - people who work away for months at a time. Take a drive round the Chelsea one way system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 There are always clamped cars around here in London. Quite a nice little earner as the are mostly pretty new cars and very few 'abandoned'.I have seen a few too. I used to think the owners bought a clamp privately and attached it as an anti-theft arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinmasters Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have seen a few too. I used to think the owners bought a clamp privately and attached it as an anti-theft arrangement. There's the answer. Free parking. Always carry four of your own clamps in the boot. Tadhg Tiogar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not *entirely* abandoned as it has a SORN in place since around 2015 but I spotted this in an industrial estate in South Wales. Split_Pin and Laseraligningfoofooflanges 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Alright, going back a couple of years now but this is still the most unexpected car I've found dumped by the side of the road. Local gossip was that it broke down one night; driver got another limo to come and collect the passengers (hen night), and said he'd be back in the morning with a mechanic... but no-one ever came. Eventually someone shoved it off the road and down a bank. Old-timers do say, on a still moonlit night, you can still hear the ghostly clink of Lambrini bottles and hollow shrieks of drunken revelry over the Full Monty soundtrack... richardthestag, somewhatfoolish, Sudsprint and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 For all I know, it's lying there still... a little bit of Las Vegas dumped in (very) rural Co. Tyrone. The lad who owned the field offered to winch it out for me for £50, if I wanted it... but wasn't sure how well my Fiesta 1.1 would have coped with A-framing it home.

Tadhg Tiogar Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 There's an almost identical limo lying in a front garden in Kings Langley. Is on a Q-plate and visible from the main road. Hasn't moved in years. blakey79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I've no idea if anyone else saw it but for about 6 months last year (until about June?) there was a 15(!) plate Golf pulled over into a turning on to the railway right next to the A20 just before Harrietsham after the Leeds Castle roundabouts. No idea if any of you guys are that local to me but it was a point of constant fascination. No crash damage. Just parked there. Never moved. Eventually it went. Went past it a couple of times a week.

Pillock Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Potentially a 15 plate car could be a hire or company car that's been nicked, something on fake plates where nobody has reported it etc... TBH I could go missing from work, dump the company car somewhere and then refuse to answer the phone. How would they find it? They're not tracked or owt.

It was a nice car and right by a main, busy road! That's the bit that confused me. There are other dumped cars around but that one was a particularly nice one that was right there for a long time. Was quite tempted to hire a trailer and get a towbar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garage I used to use for my van MOT & service work, the chap had a car dropped off by one of his mates in the recovery business, turns out the guy picking up the car didn't have the correct paperwork and technically nicked the car, I wont say what car it was but a premium car at the time, about 2 or 3 years old. He was waiting for the correct paper work to come through and would then cart the car off to the finance company. The garage has long closed and the car is still there about 6 years later.
