Fallen tree and smashed Leon update; the wall on the left has been rebuilt...will get some photos later once it stops raining.

I fear that now the local attraction of a Seat Leon with it's roof buckled from an enormous tree months ago has disappeared without a trace, it's bordering on simply standing outside someone's house and taking a picture of it

Hmmmm, maybe I should do it under cover of darkness...or is that even more alarming?

I thought that the Leon had gone - looked that way when I drove past on Monday.

There was a Saab opposite so I was a bit distracted though.

the amount of money sat outside Saxtons is quite staggering - and then there's the properly pricey stuff in their showroom (convertible Bentleys etc)

I know we are off topic a little but I have oftern wondered whether they own all the stock or whether some/a lot is SoR - looking at their website, the top 10 most expensive cars comes to well over £2m and they have hundreds of cars available at any one time.

When you run a check against them, I wonder if most of the cars come up with ‘Unit Stock Finance’ which is where the banks lend the dealers the money.

I only came across the concept, when checking out a high end car.

God, that mismatched wall is more of an eyesore than a crushed car and felled tree!

Thirty odd years & it'll have blended right in!

A quick jet wash would certainly lessen the visual crime
