Wife was bemused as I did a Insignia-based Frogger to get closer. Cresta E ftw !

 

Although she did say Vauxhall made stylish old cars/no, I couldn't flag driver down in pretty much the same breath.

That Renault has been moved since a while now, never saw it there since I've been here though. However, the fence has been removed and there is an old S1 Land-Rover and what looks like a very rusty Rover P4.

 

Those garages are apparently due to be turned into flats or something having spoken to a bloke who was working from there as I was looking to enquire about renting a garage there.

There's at least two others under brambles at back and the end two garages have cars from the 50/60's driven in and left. One's had it's bonnet up since the 80's!

 

Just behind fence was a anthill mob little motor and a dissolved mini with the engine behind it. Got some pics somewhere.

 

This was taken post initial clearance - there were two other 18's iirc

Wow! I wonder what the Black car was. The Land Rover is more visible now next to the P4.

 

What's strange is I thought the garages ended where the Renault was because that's all I can see to from the road.

 

I also saw a Scirocco next to a barn on the lane which run sort of behind where these cars are (just off Red Hill) but can't get near enough to get a pic.

Hahhaha.

 

Thieving tossers. Ask me how I know...

That's where I bought my MK10 from! They used to have a load of old motors in one of the showrooms which, allegedly, had all belonged to the founder/owner of the business. I prised the Jaguar out of hos sticky mitts!

My drive from 4 weeks ago.

 

One gone already, one about to be. Already purchased replacement  - unsurprisingly another early 90's Vauxhall Frontera. This week I r mostly 'livin' in da 90's innit'. Etc.

 

I have kind of decided that my next purchases will be 90's also. Certainly not eyeing up that cvh jellymould. Oh no. Not at all.  :-)

This is not. Although it's a unmolested-sh daily. And therefore rare as feck*

This is my eldest helping. After a car/post interface at a considerable speed for a 1tp vehicle.

He has a duffle coat. They're ace. I want one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, probably not, but all I see is pineappled/'custom'/'unique' ones it seems. And I don't particularly like the standard ones....
