Council.. Bastids..

If that was an old 2 door Ford with a notice on it , there'd be dozens of   " We're from the council"  flatbeds picking it up !

To be honest, that was my main concern, & still is to a degree, as some of the comments I've seen on Facebark are distinctly dubious..

[Wack]

Well, I`ve done what I can, still didnt manage to track down the owner.

 

Both front tyres punctured & rears not much better (they are perished, but could have been deliberate), so just given it a rinse over & sign put on as best as I could (with my number offering help if they are struggling to deal with it). We`ll see what happens...

 

Hopefully the councils dropped it.

I especially like the way it's been attached with far too much bright red insulation tape , couldn't look more fuck you if you'd stuck it on spelling fuck you

Wasnt deliberate, but its certainly noticeable now

Good effort Mr Senator, though I’m still concerned for this car......

People in the know are telling me the council is going to leave it be now, but the amount of attention its had in the last 48 hours is worrying in a way, as not so kosher folks may now have their eyes on it..

 

I`d really like to speak to the owner to advise him, & help if he needs it.

 

That said, now its been washed & has a bloody great note on it should deter them..

I saw this posted on a group on Facebook yesterday were most people wanted to steal it to "save it", it's best to keep an eye on it for now.

This is my concern. I didnt realise it was going to get quite as big as it did on t`internet..

 

I really would like to speak to the owner.

[alcyonecorporation]

More concern. 

[purplebargeken]

Can they not delete the thread now it's sorted? It is a little worrying.

Its spread, especially once it was taken up by Practical Crapheaps.

 

Its exact location hasnt been let out of the bag as far as I`ve seen, but still...

[inconsistant]

The owner's lack of motoring is our concern.

[inconsistant]

Applying Autoshite logic could it be hidden from view by hammering a larger Triumph over it?

Maybe knocking something like this up in black would confuse any potential thieves..

[trigger]

I knew I had seen it on FB, the poster has said that the owners been found and made aware but look at the comments...

 

 

[eddyramrod]

There are some disturbing people about....

[Felly Magic]

Typical of faceache sadly Triggs, bottom feeding arseholes

[uk_senator]

I`m kinda tempted to put my adopted DVLA wheelclamp on it so it cant get nicked till I can locate the owner.

I dont entirely believe the owner or his son has actually been contacted... 

[purplebargeken]

Not a bad idea tbh.

[uk_senator]

Not a bad idea tbh.

Only thing is, it then opens up a whole new set of potential legal issues.. 

 

This whole things a bit of a minefield really.. I`m gonna try & do more knocking tomorrow, time allowing.

It's  written in the Bible that Moses had a 6 pot Vitesse. ...       and Joshua had one too, but his had a hole in the exhaust...or maybe it had  a Peco back box.   

 

True fact.

[Christine]

"and the sound of Moses Triumph was heard in the hills..............  

 

Joshuas Triumph was heard thoughout the land...........     

[wuvvum]

Badum and, indeed, tish.

Only thing is, it then opens up a whole new set of potential legal issues.. 

 

What legal issues?  It's not on private land so not covered by the clamping ban, and as long as you don't damage it you can't get done for criminal damage.  You're not moving the car so you're not TWOCing.  I'm running out of possible offences they could do you for here.  Although admittedly it's 20 years since I did any criminal law so I might be missing something blindingly obvious.

So you cant see any potential legal implications when clamping a complete strangers car?

[wuvvum]

Nope.  Not criminal at least.  I suppose in this day and age they might try to sue you for something or other, however good your intentions were..

I hurt my neck when I bent down to look at the clamp

 

The owner may be dead for all we know, tax renews automatically if paid by direct debit unless you tell them otherwise though that's definitely more patina than the amount of time it's been standing after the MOT , now it's not under council threat it's just another car parked in the street

[Mr A Lawrence]

Maybe this should be the next plan of action.

[oldcars]

I glad i don't do facebook, its seems full of twats.

[Talbot]

It's full of everyone. So yes, it is.
