the uk's abandoned cars!

[merculation]

I come across abandoned cars every couple of months, but this one is quite shocking for me!
The guy lives a few miles from me, and he has cars, boats, etc lying everywhere, here are a few photos of his house! this was taken on google street view a few years ago, and they are still there to this day! a Clio V6 left to rot! he also has a mercedes SEC 500 will 14k on the clock, left in a field across the road, not to mention the jeep, jet skis etc http://www.pistonheads.com/xforums/imgs/3.gif

Fancy stealing them, to let them live again, i dislike hoarders. Specially of lovely cars. They were made to be used not left to die a slow low milage death.

Lets take a trip down memory lane

[merculation]

The guy who has the house hasn't worked a day in his life, and you can properly guess by his roof that his name is Sid, I will be passed his house tomorrow and will upload some photos of the sierra cosworth and the Mercedes! Shocked

L SID

[DanDC5]

I'd be knocking on the door making him a big on that Clio.

[Byard]

It would make more sense with the 'I' missing from the roof

[ZOLLAR]

Albeit a replica this is abandoned a couple of miles away, few other cars abandoned in the background too.

I could imagine if you went knocking on the door, he would refuse to sell, I have oftened stopped and asked hoarders of cars if they would sell, but I guess some people have trouble letting go of things, there is a guy in my town who has a collection of cosworths, about 7 in total, left to rot in his barn, I can recall an L reg escort with 6k on the clock, with the windows left open covered in dust and mold, according to him, they were his pension, I know this is worthless without pictures so I will see if I can pop up there also and take some photos, it's slightly more shocking than the V6!

There's a Sierra cosworth and an impreza type r abandoned near me, it's very sad

Is that still there? is there an address for it rep it may be but it could be a fun project.

[D1bram]

You say he hasn't worked a day in his life?

There must be some interesting story to this guy, what do you know?

[liller]
