Nottingham and further. Scrapyards and sightings.

Couple of motors from my cycle-about today - not tremendously exciting, but I'd have 'em all!!

Elderly Space Cruiser

WOB ALERT!!

Sad wee Micra - been here fer a while. Does seem tidy tho.

Enthusiast-owned Hunter - the guys were just stopped to check out the adjacent Avenger (see previous pages - the minty orange one!).

Had no cards left to give them, but passed on the URL...

My mate's 'scene' veedub. Is good. Me likes.

Awesome Aston! Never seen one of these on the road before...

Another friend's much loved and much-spent-on Merc. A beast!

Sierra 4x4 coupe - very minty!!

Mazda 323 camper.

 

Have to get out more - Nottingham's full of wee finds!!

[55bloke]

Nice! Loving the Hunter.

[Angrydicky]

Nice spots! Space Cruisers are really rare now, that's a real survivor. Anyone else think that Aston's registration is quite appropriate...?

[binhoker668]

Oh yeah - this one too.

Heap of dung if you ask me! (And that RS badge looks dubious).

[Hudsonpie]

^WHS^ that Hunter is superb

[binhoker668]

And finally.

My fave shop in Notts.

 

(Is this allowed? There is a car in front of it...sort of....)

[retrogeezer]

TV's, DVD's and microwaves??? WTF?

 

Like the T25 camper too....

[Lord Sterling]

Oh yeah - this one too.

Heap of dung if you ask me! (And that RS badge looks dubious).

I like this, but a little too chavved up for me.

 

Theres an early one of these in a yard in Cradley Heath, I cant get in the right place to take a pic as its too far in the yard and in a corner so very difficult to picture.

[Albert Ross]

The Sierra's a XR4i. Early pre-Cosworth 3 door, unique shell, very strong, 2wd 2.8 injection. Rare and expensive in good nick.

[Station]

That Aston Martin is nearly dripping with blood, what a beast and what a number plate.

[Pillock]

I like this, but a little too chavved up for me.

 

 

S'only the badges and backbox, 30 minutes with a spanner and some alcohol wipes would sort that!

 

I must admit to quite fancying a Mk4 Cabrio at some point.... I'm crap at hairdressing and I'm hetrosexual but they do appeal. Maybe not the runout model in dusky mauve with matching leather though, that's a bit too much.

[KruJoe]

อึเตียง

Thai, pronounced 'ee-tieng', doesn't that mean 'crap bed' in Isaan slang?

[binhoker668]

Woodall services on the M1 today - WOT A STUNNAH!! Only 27,000 on the clock too!

Very very impressed. Had a 'WW' badge on the front too.

 

 

PS. Feel free to tell me that I've finally lost it, but for some reason, these always remind me of :

 

Discuss??

[fotorabia]

hey Chris..whats with the bouncy castle on the Mazda..i thought you we re trying to discourage geriatric delinquents jumping up an down on yer motor! x

[Czechered Flag]

has no 1 noticed that the Mazda has appeared in the background of a few other pics. You sure it's not following you??

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Its his car!!

[binhoker668]

Out and about in Sherwood again last night - many abandoned houses and cars abound!

Here's some examples - all from the one wrecked house...

Can anyone put a name to the decrepitated machine round the back?

 

Rover. Fairly dead I reckon!

Another dead Rover, and the back of the unknown vehicle.

Unidentified - anyone??

 

I want to move into this house and leave the back yard exactly as it is!

It's not a Fiat Topolini is it?

[trigger]

I'm sure it is TR2/3 This is a TR3 Dash

 

[binhoker668]

Yup - just had a trawl thru google, reckon it is the TR3 rather than TR2 - extra couple of switches to the right of wheel.

This house is just shamesville!

[barrett]

That's in better condition than the MK1 MGA coupe that's in a back garden down my street.....

[binhoker668]

Looks like it's been a donor car or something - no clocks/seats etc...

[reallyloud]

This is great!

 

 

All the 3 Series survivors I've come across are the post 1981 facelift models which asides from the odd bit of trim are undistinguishable from the last ones. Rust killed the early ones, but I assume Volvo sorted out the corrosion issue by then.

 

I also see the link between the car and grover - its the eyes I think.

Yeah it was utterly mint. Hovered around fer ages to try and speak to the owner, but Mrs Hoker got *somewhat bored!*.

[binhoker668]

SO.  Dropped in at Podders' Scrapyard yesterday on the way home from work.

Couple of wee bits and piece3s that might be of note to some?

Can anyone remember who owns the stunning white Xantia on here?

 

This one has a stay of execution for a matter of days.  Looks like it was bang tidy before it met it's fate.  Very clean inside etc.

 

 

 

 

 

Some other bits and bobs knocking around...

 

 

 

 

And finally, our old Transit from work.  Finally met it's end.  39,000 genuine miles on it's (correct) engine.  Somebody got a good 'un!!

 

 

I did try to snag it, but to no avail...

 

Crap update, more soon hopefully....
