These haven't moved in years

I'd love to machine polish those, faded pink brought back to red.

Single stage paint means that you'd probably struggle...

I assume that Jetta is a TX with 16v alloys? I seem to remember that the GTI and GTI 16v had a rear boot spoiler, and this one looks a bit under endowed in the exhaust dept too - lacks the big twin pipes. Pity - the 16v Jetta was a better drive than the Golf despite it looking a bit frumpy. Rare as rare hens teeth nowadays.

Amazingly that Jetta's MOT expired earlier this year. The Golf was left to die16 years ago.

Sat outside Shrewsbury. Been there for 10 years probably but hasn't moved in the last few, I see it every year when I pop up for a music festival... I'll be back there in 2 weeks.

Is this the year I leave my number on the screen?

Interesting looking house. Is it an old gate house?

I hope so, that’d be a great story!

Greetings from Switzerland!

Opel Kadett C, in Arbon CH


Lotus Esprit V8, in Interlaken CH, granted a mild case as last time on the road in 2021 according to the Autobahnvignette. But still...

Noticed this abandoned in a farm last week.

In Ambleside today, inside was quite mouldy and had quite a few engine bits scattered around

Its an old Toll House... Its actually called that too. Nice geeky bit of architecture

Thanks, more interesting than the car!

Came across these locally whilst house hunting.

Dont think they are abandoned as such as they seem to move about regularly according to google maps.

Pity the neighbours

I guess they must be quite tolerant

Came across these 2 between Marlow and Henley in south Bucks a month or so back with granddaughter whilst driving around the backroads in my TR 6. Sadly at least one is worthy of a restoration in today's market!

These absolute beauties have been parked on this bit of grass for as long as I have lived in the area (8 years).....Streetview shows them there since at least 2008!!



Whoever it is, obviously likes a flame pink 90's Vauxhall....and under the cover is a blue Vauxhall 'Midi' Van...on which the tarp seems to be replaced periodically.....The parking space immediately to the right always has a slightly more modern Vauxhall of some sort parked adjacent, so I assume remains an avid fan of all things Griffin related....

Feel sorry for the residents of that cul-de-sac personally, what an eye sore....

I had one of these back in the mid nineties (and a standard 924 before that) and while they have always been fairly inexpensive and not the most sought after of Porsches it still saddens me to see one in this state.

Why? They're all parked neatly, and it's not like the whole place is derelict.

No, that's the main reason it has faded and is reversible by removing the oxidation.
