ajcherry Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 That Fiat 133 is a top spot and on the endangered species list according to Practical Classics, only 4 left on the road! In fact i can`t remember seeing one for a very long time.I think these were always over-shadowed by the much more popular 126. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Something I cannot understand, is it a British disease ? drive something like the R4 above home , park it in front of the garage and the leave it there for years until it dissolves. I love to see your spots but its not normal ! (unless you are an AUTOSHITE member) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ah, the british disease of garages, one of my favourite "hates". Put all the crap you don't really want in the garage, leave the car outside to rot. Like keeping coal in the bathtub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Can you get a note on that 4? Loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 1960'S Renault 4. Shame its not in use diddnt look that bad.As a "glass half-full" person I prefer to wonder about what delights could possibly be inside the garage. Hopefully, in this case, another Renner 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 That R4 is lovely. Surely not been sat there (ie outside) for eight years. Would have crumbled away by now and looks far too good to have sat outside and not moving since 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyloud Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I can't believe in this day and age, that the Daimler (especially with that number plate) and Audi have been left like this! There was a day when I used to drive up the A34 and find random cars (usually H reg'd Vauxhalls) left abandoned on the laybys. Great to see a yugo 45 again too, but obviously its not for this world for much longer. One crashed into me a few years ago. Not strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Agree with DC on the Jag and Audi being left for dead.Is it just me or does anyone else enjoy the irony of the Christian fish symbol on the back of an Escort with a "666" numberplate?

mk2_craig Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Nice to see that Escort still crumbling away on the Anstey Lane, if I remember correctly it's an automatic. Would probably have tried to buy it if I'd stayed in the city any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maths teacher at school, who was an evangelical Christian, had a Toyota Camry (first FWD type) with A666 as part of the plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Was just going to comment on that irony, but you beat me to it! Just to deviate off the thread for a second, is it just me (cue for a rant) or does every fish-car drive at 25 mph all over the road, stalling at junctions, failing to indicate etc, grrr ? Also a trend in these parts amongst Zsara Picasso drivers; if I'm following a fished-up one, I know I'm in for a blood pressure rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRegieRitmo Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That Audi is a bit hard to take.....last year whilst trying to decide on a 'nu mo-ta' there was a local garage selling a metallic blue N reg one of those & I was sorely tempted. They were asking £2600, so that's probably a couple of grand's worth of car just sitting there abandoned & desolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sounds like excessive garage markup to me on the one you saw Reg, even so, a tidy one on that late a plate should still be high hundreds, if not four figures.Unfortunately, that one is not tidy, and the wheels may be an indicator of previous Barry ownership and bodgery. My money is on a cambelt snap causing the car to languish, Audi persisted for years with only giving a mileage recommendation for cambelt changes, rather than age as well. My '84 80 quattro 2.1, when purchased in 2001 with 51k miles, still had the original belt because the change interval was 60k - my mechanic told me the old belt was not much longer for this world when he inspected it!

Guest Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Â Believe it or not this Audi is a strange one. The guy regulary sits it up for a few years and then tarts it up mots it uses it for a year then parks it up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Just looking at your flickr pics and spied this. Where did you see it?... bits of it could be useful to me! Its in a Leicestershire field which the locals assure me is owned by an old giffer who visits now and again-and is of the shotgun/get orf my land style. I have never caught him there hence the leaning into the hedge shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
