Come on, be fair, at least the first 3 letters make sense.

Seriously, that's some kind of photoshop, isn't it? Anyone who would position a plate like that shouldn't be trusted with a pointed tool like a screwdriver.

That's what you call 'having an off day'

The join between the rear bumper and rear quarter doesnt align with the middle line or the front bumper line - I cant unsee it now ...

The way they've cut the bottom of the door into the cill and left all the lines there.

Having said that, in terms of % mess it's utterly outclassed by this little riot of unmatching and unnecessary lines:



The CH-R somehow manages to look even worse up close than it does in pictures.

If that were a car I'd say the tyre was on backwards. Asymmetric patterns should flush surface water away, that tread will bring water inwards

That's a good one for the thread. It looks like it's had a stroke!

I dont think that tread do much with surface water. However, some Caterham racers purposely fit their front tyres the 'wrong' way round. I forget the logic.

Looks like it should be a character from Planes (or Copters if they did one)

Sorry for the size of these - they are straight out of a news story.

That does look a bit more like mining subsidence than some sort of weird geological faulting.

I'd want to see a drilling report given mining is in the area. It has been patched up a lot by the looks of it as it's almost certainly got some major structural issues which have been polyfilla-ed

The problem with it is that if next door has been owned pre mining issues flagged in conveyancing (say early 80s - I speak as non-coal) they will not have had the issues flagged and may be insured.

It's a bit of a grey area. I think the CA take full liability for remediation regarding coal workings. In non coal, it's a bit of a mess. If the mineral lord has changed hands since the workings were driven/sunk, they are not responsible for the "holes" (they often do change hands).

If you buy it knowing it has failed a ground stability inspection, you will not get insurance. As a result, if you attempt remediation (opening it up and fixing it or banging it full of grout) and next door falls into it, you could be liable.

I wouldn't touch it for free without seeing a drilling report. The auctioneers will not give you the report (because it's the exclusive property of the client) but give you a consultants summary of what the problem is. The thing is, they will say "mine workings" not whether it is "holy st ruuuuunnnn" or just something small and fixable.

Depending on the ground conditions/geology you can get some quite minor things looking very serious and some very major things looking minor (or not looking like anything).

Edit:- BGS data, which the blurb refers to is quite patchy in it's nature (and sht)

A picture in my parents loo, my old man took it years ago on their first holiday away without me and my sister (probably ‘99/‘00) but only recently had it printed. For the horizon to be level, the picture can’t be...
