Took a couple of pics of the car and thought I would start a thread for everyone to share.

Here is my currently neglected Fiesta RST, as some of you will have seen in Reader's cars.








Due for an mot as soon as funds allow.

I do love it a bit more every time I walk past and don't get to drive it

And here is my old MR2 which was on my drive for a year after losing interest and buying the Golf you see and then the BMW.I sold it a couple days after this pic was taken though.




So has anyone got pics of their neglected cars? Either because you lost interest or waiting for the day you can treat her...


  • and yes, my front garden is a mess

My little kit car's the same, as is the Jag. Neither have moved really in the last 3 months, other than an MOT for the Q and a trip to the Post Office for the Jag. I'm breezing around in a 2005 Rover 25 pretty much most of the time. It's uninteresting but functional

I was thinking that. Forget the cars, what are they all used for?

Best use I've found for them so far.

My Mk1 FRS is a bit neglected. Stored it on SORN late October '10 and it's been there ever since. Sadly whilst it's been stored i've managed to ding a few panels moving other things around it frown

Haha yes we do have a lot of bins but for a short time we had quite a few of us in the house. Don't really need them all now I suppose.

Breakdown: 2 non recyclable, 2 green waste, 1 paper, 2 for glass/plastic

Neglected may have been the wrong word but its been sat there for a couple of months now and I haven't touched it other than to find the battery is now flat.

It is in exceptional condition tbh; I could do with a car cover for the winter come to think of it.

Stop gap solution, driven hard and used lots but no love whatsoever:



The project, now SORN and awaiting funds:



What replaced the Alfa, driven lots but used as a van/4x4/dog cart/taxi:



There's also a A1 Austin 1300 mkii in the garage, T&T but due to house buying hasn't moved for 4 months

Not wanting to sound nannyish but from a safety point of view, you really should clean the lights on the alfa.
