Brusquely Ushered would be a great username.
Brusquely would drive a shabby Bentey Turbo R and have venison hotpot, a brandy and cigar for every meal!
And have a " friend " called Bobo Latrine.

Not sure what's worse, the car or the brickwork.

It's a particularly soulless-looking street and judging by the moss I wonder if the VW was previously parked under trees?

It’s a local authority development of actually quite nice social housing in the rural AONB that is West Bromwich. Problem is there are shockingly few parking spaces and some of the residents are feral.

I like the efforts they've gone to in blending the built and natural environment, with that greenery coming up through the little gravel area for the Bully XL to crap in. Bit of lichen and that'll be like living in The Shire like the Hobbits.

Asked to borrow my string back driving gloves. Dashed cheek.

I'm afraid not, but given the multiple holes in the body and carpet of green moss underneath it, a couple of years at an absolute minimum!

That's funny - we were talking about these only the other day over there, on the "What's under the tarp?" thread.

This yellow one was parked next to the blue French-registered one under the tarp …

OK I can work out the one nearest us is s S3 XJ and the tail light and number plate is from the back of a facelift Omega Estate. There's something else between the Jag and house with a distinctive chrome strip around the top of the doors, something nose in to the Jag and something blue in the background to the left - all of which are defeating me at the moment....

Wow! That's impressive recognition skills. There is a blue BMW E91 estate facing the front of XJ and an X-Type estate near the house. I'll see if I can get a better pic when I'm down that way next.
