No problem! smile

I believe that others have tried the note on the windscreen, but to no avail. The crescent has many residential properties around it, but I suspect that most residents of that area would rather have a new Range Rover Sport than a knackered Ferrari!

I hereby openly ackowledge that I am playing to sterotypes and may be doing many people a disservice!

I have knackered German cars and have had knackered Italian cars in the past.

I think I need another knackered Italian car again.

I have a plan.....

Yes it is I was in the area and felt it worth a visit bought a few books to read on the place.
RIP.

The MOT ran out in 2015, the tyres are cracked and splitting apart, both doors have been taped up to seal the cabin and there is a green algae/moss outline around the car - That's not exactly positive evidence of a car that's going to be seen being driven around!

But someone opens it up once a year (ish) to replace the parking permit....?

Under this tarp a Citroen Bijou has lurked for about the last 25 years I can remember. Can't imagine what it will look like when it's unwrapped one day.

Scruffy cars and houses often go together, which makes this long abandoned Scimitar near my Grannies house look all the more odd on a tidy estate. Don't know if the wheel has collapsed or it's on bricks, but its covered in moss close up.

I happened to see an RO80 on the road here in Inverness 3 or 4 weeks ago, the first one Ive seen in 30 odd years.

There are some great living fossils around here. Lots of Vauxhall/Opals, 80s VWs and 70s Toyotas. I'll have to go out with a camera before I go back.
