Is that ex BL garage on the North Circ still open?
Nope. The old boy sold up and put most of the stock through auction

This sad old bus has been rotting away for a couple of years.

Funnily enough, before that, it was a regular user of the spot whilst in daily use.

What you may not know is that the wall next to the car is the perimeter wall of HMP Pentonville. I'd love it if the cabbie is in the caff opposite nursing the same cup of tea for three years whilst his fare has "nipped inside to attend to some business" and is in fact currently doing a five stretch....

Now it's been a while since I've been on this road into Slamannan near Falkirk in Scotland. The last time I passed it looked like there was a Volvo farm.

I'm not actually sure if this is a scrapyard, farm, or just a rundown residence. Mainly Volvos there with a few other types of car in quite an isolated location.

After posting the above, I found that this land is owned by a guy called Jim who's interest in Volvos seen him taking in old Volvos for spares. If you look up a website called Retrosh ite it explains a bit there. Unfortunately the swear filter kicks in when I try to post the exact link.

Not sure if this has been posted, but this car is quite famous in Swindon. The guy will not sell.

If it was for bereavement reasons I wouldn't sell it, but restore it to its former glory confused

The green one is exactly like my old one. I fitted GTI alloys to mine.

That's a late model facelift quattro, not to be confused with the Ur Quattro, from c'86. The coupe quattro was rarer than the Ur Quattro.

He appears to have made his porch roof from exactly the same material as Ford used for the body panels.
