Managed to get this one today as there is always a car parked in front of it, this Lexus has been parked for as long as I can remember,the greenery around it is very overgrown,there is also a caravan behind the car!

Why on earth would they dump things on the roof?

If if they care that little about it, why not just offer it for £0 collection only. What a waste.

Heres a few more from my walks:

Also this fleet of abandoned removal trucks parked up in an old pub car park in a very residential area, the companies website and facebook are still active so I don't know if they just use these old trucks for storage, but they're in an odd location for that...

According to their facebook page the company closed down in 2018 and the trucks are for sale

Good find, weirdly their website is still up and running (https://tbarronremovals.co.uk) with no mention of the fact they stopped operating 3 years ago????

They've not done a very good job of selling off the fleet either by the looks of it!

It was a lovely little E30 320i minding its own business and someone placed what looks like the love child of a skip and a sofa on it's roof why in all that is holly would someone do that?

Also that is 1000 posts in 100 months... Must try harder...

The pink car that's blocked in by the others...




Sorry I couldn't get a good angle on it without walking up the bloke's drive!

Definite PH'er vibes from this.

The first picture made me think Ferrari 400 but the second angle blew that out of the water.

It looks like it has a liftback rear end rather than a normal rear window and boot. Something early 90s?

I was thinking maybe an Alfa or one of those box wedge TVR?

Don't make me walk back down the hill to check laugh

80s kit car? This is starting to be fun.

It's like a truncated Bitter.

That was my hunch. And as for kit car, wasn’t the G28 sold in that form?

If it has a slopey nose and pop up lights it's a G31. The G28 had a bluff front with a taller bonnet line (which meant you could fit a Cologne V6 in there). Otherwise it was standard 2.0 wheezy 4 cyl mk3 or 4 Cortina underpinnings I think

Early spoilerless TT, aren't they sort after by the enthusiasts?

Weird MOT history, looks like someone tried to save it in 2019, had all the 2017 advisories fixed after a period of no MOT, only for it to be abandoned once again

It takes a little dedication to drive two cars up from the road, past 3 houses to park in your front garden then fill them with crap.
