The pink Impreza of Tintwistle

[Mr MXT]

Does any one know a) what I’m talking about and b) what the story is behind it?

I remember it, it lived on the main road just as you head out of the village on the way up Woodhead.

I wasn't aware of it having any particular story behind it?

I've seen it for many a year, now accompanied by a Renault Wind.

I'd be tempted to see if it's for sale, but last time I went past (roughly October) it was so rotten I'd say it's unsaveable. Sad.

Sounds like the title of an episode of Last of the Summer Wine to me!

Or a follow up to The Red Hat Of Patferrick.

So it's still there now?

I escaped Tinsle about 7 years ago, I assumed it was now long gone.

I'm guessing it's not a desirable model, probably just a UK2000.

I drove past it on Sunday: rust has very much set in…

Given how they rust underneath, how is anything that rusty on the top still in one piece?

[J4CKO]

That’s freaky, not been anywhere in ages and went past this today !

[escos67]

Passed it on Sunday on way home from work tyres flat now

Blue wagon there in the past - did that become the pink one ? ....



Bug / blob wagon another time ....

[Chief Rocka]

Every time I go past to buy cars that way or to see a guy in Sheffield who fits he-man duals I go past this pink one .
Should I paint hers pink hmmmm

[epom]

Would love a wagon. STI 5 I think would be the sweetest
