Popular Post dozeydustman Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 Driving around all day everyday I get to see a fair amount of old chod on the roads and rusting rammel on driveways. Been meaning to do this thread for some time now, so here’s what I’ve seen over the past few months.

Stinkwheel Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Some really excellent stuff in there. I’m really liking the S reg Citroen GS personally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Parky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I guess the sign in the window of the yellow car (early tvr or a kit?) says something like "not for sale, piss off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That GS is great. I spotted it a year or so ago, so nice to see its still there. The piles of building materials suggest a house reburb, or possibly new owner, so I wonder if it'll be sent off for scrap soon...? Be a shame to turn it to bin cans even if it can't be saved.

Most interesting stuff I come across has a handwritten note that suggests the owners have had enough of the pikeys a knocking. When I had an old transit on the drive, it was every other day! Until I actually wanted to sell it. Twiggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been working in Chichester for 4 and a half years, I think this car has been there for that long at least. The door bottoms are starting to look frilly. Next to it, under the tarp, is a Deux chevaux vapeur. Kringle, Stinkwheel, Burnside and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crews I work with normally point out a Ferrari or some other swanky motor going to/from Goodwood, whereas I tend to point out a Bluebird or some other wanky motor.

Parky Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That GS definitely needs a note under the windscreen. Unlike an FTP, the number plate suggests it is “Ready to proceed” 500tops and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That GS has been there a while.I took this picture when I worked for MFI,and they went bust in 2008! Burnside, spartacus, michael t and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Excellent spots there. 10/10! Always find it really cheering to see all this old shit still cluttering up streets and gardens up and down the land. Lovely!

strangeangel Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Fair do's, you've got some proper old chod on your round. Great pics. Apart from the GS obvs, I especially enjoyed the Leyland horsebox(?). djim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the Leyland EA is the one I'd be putting a note under the wiper of. Taxed and insured though, so hopefully someone's enjoying MOTless motoring! strangeangel and mitsisigma01 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that one is D702SWLHaha I really didn’t - as a bit of a rover fan I always revert my eyes to similar bodies Had an mb6 for a bit and it was pretty rapid - the vti with the vtec 1.8 (b16a4?) in it. Rusted same place as the rovers but the interior was more velour and more Japanese. Not a landy fan so I averted my eyes!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenmil Socket Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 When I first opened this thread I thought it said 'Found in the bins' i.e. items that have been disposed of which may also make a great thread? Some nice spots BTW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperil Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I spend my day spotting cars on the rounds, but would get into trouble if I posted any on the net, I wish it weren't so. Some of the highlights are... The little Datsun 1200 that Spottedlaurel has, when it's original owner had it. A G reg mk1 Capri. A Skoda Estelle. A house with four really nice Scorpio shaped Granadas and a Cougar outside. A Mazda 323 Turbo 4x4. A really long Pigsnout Transit van/ pick up. This maybe the one that was on a thread in here a few months ago. The one that had me most amazed was a Vauxhall Firenza Droopsnoot, I only got to find that one because the cover blew off it, I had been wondering what it was.
