Garage in a town north of me. Used to drive past it every other week and it's had some interesting motors just sat there for years. Apparently folk have approached the owner trying to buy things like Porsche's that've been there for years but he refuses.

I never understand why people let stuff rot away like that. https://www.google.com/maps/@57.4283483,-2.3974165...
Hopefully when the old codger dies someone can have some enjoyment out of it eventually and treat it with care.

This place is next to my son's school. The Jag hasn't moved since 2011, the Volvo has been there longer, and there's a Clio and R5 penned in by this lot.
£2m+ house and a council driveway.
That smacks of an older couple who have given up driving but not got rid of their cars£2m+ house and a council driveway.

Sure I’ve spotted that too. Harpenden?£2m+ house and a council driveway.
I have a feeling it had a charger attached when I last went past quite awhile ago.
Couple of Mercs sitting here being gradually eaten by the scenery or smashed by passing scum over the years: Ones a C Class, but the one in the background looks like its from the 60's. Putting a brick through that should earn you a firing squad!

No idea of the story behind them as it's not an inexpensive street.

Its a weird slice of land there i can't really figure out what property it would belong to, I'm very curious to the story as they've been there untouched since at least 2010, then at some point between May 2018 and June 2019 is where the transit disappears entirely, someone puts a tarp over the older merc and the windows get put in on everything all in the space of a year???https://www.google.com/maps/@55.9733174,-3.1923832...

2010 until may 2018:
June 2019 onwards:
It's still there, it's just a pile of rust and some tyres. 
I wonder if it was backed into the garage or if the C class was moved. As said above, that little corner is a bit of an oddity if you play with the map- the garages are attached to other garages at the back which open onto a separate street, but the driveway opens onto a main road and is in line with rows of large houses. So I don't know if you can reverse into the garage and come out elsewhere, or it its a simple home garage with a gullwing inside.
If you go back to 2008 there was a Mini behind the van which vanished, so I wonder if they're being backed into the garage? A shame to see how nice the driveway once looked.

I lived at 143 Ferry Road in 2004/05 whilst going to Uni at the old QMUC in Clermiston, passed this spot everyday and remember there were abandoned vehicles even then.I wonder if it was backed into the garage or if the C class was moved.

Around the corner from my gaff was what seemed like an old nightclub called The G Spot, the sign featured my favourite bit of graffiti that I've ever seen.
"no one cums here anymore"
EDIT: It really is a strange layout when you try and work out if it is a standalone property. There is a nice bank of garages behind it and I think you can access the park behind so overall, a nice part of town. But looking at the land register Scotland website it is house number (for example) 123a whilst the next two properties along are 123 and 123 again. Is it possible that someone has slowly acquired all three houses over time?
