Tadhg Tiogar Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 To me, that all looks really sad. Why was the place seemingly abandoned? Did the owner die? Did (s)he go overseas and forget about it because it all got too much? Land Registry search might reveal who the present owner is supposed to be.... The same YouTube channel also discovered this place somewhere in Devon.... Sudsprint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Can’t see that Toyota lasting long there, those rwd coupes are worth some coin now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 That looks epic. And such a shame it’s been abandoned. I’d love to buy a place like that and spend a few years tidying it up etc house is probably scrap though. That Safeway box! I’ve got one of them still in use!

LessThanEqual Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 That Corolla is fit. Much want though the last time I saw a non modified UK model for sale it was £30k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hmm so it’s sat in a barn in a place that now probably public knowledge. Give it a few weeks before someone lump turns up who sounds like his mouth is full of bread in a beaver tail.

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I grew up with pals that lived on ex farms and similar with outbuildings full of shite like that in similar condition. You can spend forever finding stuff and wondering what the place used to be like and how it ended up in that state. There are countless reasons why, not all for the better but most of that rusty old crap is just that. Anything of any worth would have been used somewhere else, converted or sold. Although I no longer spend my free time running around these relics with an air rifle shooting at my pals, I'll never forget that distinct smell of damp metal, rotting wood and fox shit.

5speedracer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 4 black rubbish bags lying on the ground, they don't last that long. Maybe not as abandoned as it looks. Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgRocker Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Saw these two in summer 2022. The blue Picanto was in a pay and display car park . I walked past the white Corsa recently and the weeds are beginning to reclaim it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
