How the hell would it have got in this condition? Lifting out? Why is the engine bay full of concrete?

Doesn't take long for the water to do it's damage. :-(Is it concrete? Probably just dried river silt.

Found this strange thing:

 

 

 

 

A bit rough, but nothing a good mini fanatic could do.

Thanks for sharing your Snaps with us station !i wont be putting any up for awhile as i dont have a camera :(May sell my drums and then get one Thanks anyway Keep 'em comin !

[Station]

Nice trailer!

If I was that way inclined, I could just hitch it up to a car and pull it away. Stick the shell on it and sell it for 2k to some mini idiot!

[keef]

If I was that way inclined,

Yes; it does look a bit exposed!

First spotting post ... dont exspect anythin' amazing, just wanted to share the pictures with you guys. Hope you enjoy them

 

 

About a week after this was posted, the soft auld get sold (or scrapped, but I can't see that) his Princess and got an R reg Omega!! He still had his Cortina though - I'm surprised the jobsworths at Wirral Borough Council haven't tried to make him get rid yet!

[Station]

Argh! He's scrapped his Cortina! It's gone!

 

Haven't really seen a lot locally to be honest, even wider field like Frodsham where I saw this beauty:

 

 

 

Complete with worn mudflaps. There was a bloke sitting in some posh sports car just off the photo wondering why I was taking a photo of this and not his car.

What is it about Japanese cars from the 80's that makes them so resilient with just a wash and polish every now and then?

 

1995 Fiesta going in the body shop. Has had arches and sills repaired, now getting respray!!!

 

[Minimad5]

Not been updated for a while !

But whilst out with the Old Man coming back from ordering Wheel bearings (From the great guy Lloyd in Motorvation) .. we popped into Tesco's and i spotted afew things.

 

Could this be Joes ?

 

Sorry for the crap picture but the old lady inside looked frail and i didn't want to scare her taking loads of pictures.

 

Sapphire, nothing amazing but i don't see many about.

 

There was a Reliant Fox i missed and a nice Giffer spec Mk2 Granada.

I will get them next time !!

hehe yes maxi is mine! had u been around later on you may have got a shot of me an my mate towing my reliant rebel from green lawn to ingleborough road using Pat's old nissan sunny as tow car, i didnt think moving half a mile could be so traumatic! it worked out that we moved just as the schools were coming out an traffic was awful, he rope snapped 3 times, once on bedford road an held up the traffic for a while! lol i wont be doing that again in a hurry, car can hopefully stay at my grans until it goes for an mot under its own steam!

[Minimad5]

But whilst out with the Old Man coming back from ordering Wheel bearings (From the great guy Lloyd in Motorvation) ..

I went in there once and he was clearly drunk, his eyes were all red, and he was a bit unsteady (and his breath smelt of booze). He still provided excellent service and appeared from out of nowhere. There's a second hand toolshop round the corner which is also pretty good.

Didn't know that He's a nice guy and always gives me and my old man stuff for super cheap !I should ask him for a job

[Minimad5]

Well went to collect my wheel bearings from Motorvation today and spotted afew shite-ers

(sorry about the pictures, my phone is shockingly bad)

 

Didn't even leave our drive and spotted this

Had crusty arches.

 

For Tayne

Sorry it is blurry, was on the move

 

I noticed a sudden influx of 405 talk so snapped that photo just for you guys

 

Upon returning to the bismal Ashtray i spotted this ..

Unfortunatly dad stopped to catch his breath (He can't walk far) ... and he got in the way of the picture.

 

One for Fred

 

Thats all for now

[Tayne]

.

[Minimad5]

I couldn't tell you what the car is Tayne, i will go back and get another picture ! (I would have today but the Guy from the garage was looking at me asif i were upto no good)

 

Anyway afew more spots ...

 

For Brammy

 

Sorry for the poo pictures of this one, but the lady inside looked abit mad at me taking a picture so i ran away

(And sneakily got bad pictures )

 

They are on the same road as that Silver "thing" and the Porsche 944.

 

And on the way to the Scrappie ..

 

There is not much chod about the area, so sorry for the poor contribution,

and the poor pictures too.

[warren t claim]

Try around Albion St in New Brighton if you want chod!

[Minimad5]

A tiny update.

 

Spotted this lot a little while ago, but totally forgot about them.

 

Sorry for this crap last picture, Photoshop is playing silly buggers, so i can't edit it at the moment

 

Have not seen any of them since

[warren t claim]

That Viscount and A60 are currently residing outside a garage in Wallasey docks and have been for the last month!

[Minimad5]

Wonder who owns them ?They were outside Andy's Aquatics in New FerryThe Cambridge is seriously nice

[warren t claim]

A miserable git by all accounts! Don't worry you will see them again soon!

[Minimad5]

haha, Okay !Thanks "Wazza lad"

[Minimad5]

The POO-est update ever (As pictures are really poor)

 

I spotted a familiar face ..

 

And the next two were actual spots, but i got SO excited about the Citroen that i could not keep still ... plus it was on the move

 

And the talk of Wedges (Lotus Elan)

 

I promise the next pictures will be better
