The shell looks remarkably okay given where its parked but I imagine the underside is hiding all sorts of horrors. Its matters not though; I managed to get hold of the owner over the weekend - "the car is not for sale". Not even interested to hear what I might offer him.
I should have made a bet him that it'll still be there in a year. If he moves it I'll pay him £500, if he doesn't I get the car.

Some car owners are so weird. Clearly the car is going to be left to rot. I've offered people decent money for otherwise worthless cars and the owners get offended that I took an interest in the car. It's really weird. The only good experience was when I knocked on a guys door about his faded, and never moved Volvo 850 r.... He actually got so inspired that he got it re registered and back on the road!

309 and 405 Mi16 were nice. Had a Bx GTI 16 in the family, fairly quick but mainly comfy, seats were like leather pillows. Made a good sound, probably the only stock 4 cylinder I've liked the sound of (also add mk5 golf gti + honda s2000).
That one could be so good, but looks like its been parked in a rancid mudpit, will be rotten down sills, door bottoms, archs and bottom corners of fire wall. Why do folk who are 'going to sit on a car, will appreciate in value', never do basic things like, park it in a dry place and, park in a dry place. But mainly, why don't they park it in a dry place?
