Might just be excessive triffid growth around a little used car. I go past it most days so we'll see.

That's a Daihatsu Hijet underneath these autumnally pretty red leaves.

 

That would make a good October calendar pic, but I think the rules are that the car has to belong to a shiter for the photo to be eligible for the calendar.

Get it bought then!

More dumped shite:

Can't be many MK1 Sierras left to abandon!

I tracked down the smiley Scorp, I knew there was a MK3 Granny there too but assumed it was in use. Big hole in the sill says not, but it's a nice looking car.

 

The one thought to be hidden in the bushes was in fact just parked behind them

On SORN - I used to own E136GWC which was also white and VAG - a VW panel van.

I imagine getting that XK8 back on the road would bring new meaning to the phrase ‘a world of pain’!!!

A shame as doom blue is a rare and interesting colour for one.

[bunglebus]

"AGUAR" seems apt.

Compact continues to fester

2 today in Halesowen;

Honda Accord has boxes in the back and front as if its being used as a shed.

Ford Focus. Been here for a while. Pic makes the car look a bit squashed but its how I took the pic on a stealth one as the road is a main road and overlooked easily.

[The Vicar]

Here are some more photos of that Sierra I posted a few days ago:

And a grubby looking 164, not quite in my area but in the west of Ireland, however I pass it regularly and it has sat for ages.

[worldofceri]

I took this photo a month ago. Still hasn’t moved. Taxed, but out of mot for nearly a year.

MOT'd until May 2020, 208k at last test! Had been out of MOT since 2014 previously. Internet suggests untaxed since July 2011. Looks to have done 11 miles in 8 years.

Interesting. I'd have suggested it being prepared to put back on road but MOT since May and still no tax, they've either run out of money or time or the MOT is a telephone MOT. Strange though. 

[mrbenn]

Looks like the owner is lucky they haven't been done for no tax, with it being so visible from a main road.

I agree, there must be some sort of idea of doing something with it for it to have it's first MOT in so long.

Interestingly*, it had done 110k at it's first MOT, then another 80k over the next two years. 180k at 5 years old is good going. Only advisory for corrosion is on the most recent test, which doesn't surprise me given it has sat for years. I've seen a number of high mileage mk1 Focuseses with very little rust on them, whereas low mileage cars that have sat around seem to suffer more.

MG appears to be out of use

[Lord Sterling]

Local area spots;

Early Vectra on a SORN since 2013.

Saab out of use since 2017:

[Supernaut]

This Rover 75 has been sitting unloved behind a church hall for a good while now. Notice the flat tyre, the exhaust dangling down and the greenery growing on it.

 

Street parked for a good few months, now. This 1 series has been in a scrape and dumped.

 

Just a few car lengths along, this Astra. No MOT for 18 months now, flat rear tyre and bald front tyres.

I don't get all these cars hat have been parked up on the road without tax for months and months, round my way they get clamped and taken away pretty regularly.

[greengartside]

Oh man, that 75 tourer ???

Possibly nobody's reported them to DVLA, otherwise there'd be a feckin' big clamp attached to each one plus a sticker on the window.

Next time you pass it, could you nick the front brakes off it for me?  TIA.

I once found an abandoned Trabant P601 Estate in the middle of a field on Achill. How it got there, I wasn't able to find out!
