On the way to a gig at the Lemon Tree about a month ago I could not help but notice a Parked up Subaru P1 looking very sorry for itself. Even back then the brake disks showed that it had not moved in a considerable amount of time. I had cause to be back up that end of town yesterday afternoon and I noticed it was still there and had clearly still not moved.

I just wondered if anybody knew the story behind it? I know Subaru's have fallen out of favour a bit but save for the 22B the P1 is right up there and it seems a shame that this one is sitting under a layer of bird crap just waiting for a drunken tw@t to run across it's roof. So close to police station too, why has it not been towed?

A bit of a glib response but yes he may have a permit. Wasn't really the point of my post though.

I think it's probably got a permit.

I find it hard to imagine the owner buying a ticket from the machine several times a day for a month or more.

It hasn't got a front number plate though! ... so ...

Flat front tyre looks sad though. frown

I'll be down that way later so I'll look at the reg and ask JohnS - he'll know who owns it. smile

It has a P1 Owners Club sticker in the window. Somebody obviously cared about it once upon a time.

Cancer?

FFS the owner could be fighting fit and doing anything, such as working away, or not giving a sh!t.

What a stupid thing to post.

Nope, but there is a plate on the rear.
