Some screen grabs from Google maps but I drive past these two cars which haven’t moved for years when visiting my parents.

there's a fiesta Si on a drive on my street that hasn't moved for at least 15 years. I'm sure it belongs to middle aged guy that lives there with his elderly mother.

Bet it's absolutely fecked.

Storing cars outdoors in the UK just doesn't work.

Those Mk5 Zetec S were great handling cars. They just needed another 30bhp or so

Yep, used to know a lad with a well sorted one. It had a load of pumaspeed goodies on it along with rose jointed suspension. It was a proper go kart.

I wouldn't mind some bits off of this! Mind you, I bet the paint's knackered!

Yeah from the brief looks driving past it it’s going to need a fair bit of work to bring it up to a decent condition.

Cooler than penguin piss that.

Perhaps cheating a little bit.. GT4 RS was at The Kennels at Goodwood, rest were from the Saywell trackday (also at Goodwood)

There were 6 992 GT3RS's actually on track (but not all at the same time because they'd probably trip all of the sound meters)

Several Atom's too, couple of 720S's, track prepped E46 M3.. a lunatic in a mk8 Golf R who pushed one of the GT3RS's out of fuel (then had to leave the circuit as he'd run out of fuel), few Nissan GT-R's including one that allegedly had 800bhp. Good mix of stuff. Didn't take too many pictures as I was busy watching cars go round and round.

This video of the bloke with the Zonda (and the cars with AOG number plates) is well worth watching

A 74 reg Ferrari Purosangue last night just as I left work no picture though, football player looking geezer driving.

That's properly cool, although I swear I've seen the exact same car some last summer. What area was this?

My colleague has a Schumacher edition yellow one... Thinking he's waiting on him dying to cash in. 😂

Was at a cars on the green evening, so dubious if it counts, but was the only photo I took.

The most neglected daily driver I've seen.

Octavia VRS in works car park, beleive it or not, it doesn't get left at work either.

 

[MarkCup]

Can't remember the last time I saw one of these

if you have never been in one i would try one first, my mate had one for a few months, admittedly it wasn't V8, i went in it a couple of times and it was pretty disappointing, looked cool, but it was noisy, not very quick hardly anything worked and it broke down... ALOT.

Yes I'm aware they are peak Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious era but it's for looking at more than driving. Pure car p**n.

[Willo40]

i imagine the Turbo would be a much better option, they do look fantastic.

 

[S-JM]

Yeah but have you seen Pretty Woman?

(Yes I did just say that)

Imagine the state of the rest of their life if they're driving about in that, grotty scrubber.

I know (or know of) a guy who has one of these (or certainly used to up until not that long ago). He's got to be close to the end now given he was about 60 y/o when I first met him in the 90's. Let me know if you want a note dropping through his door
