  • On a similar, although only a bit, theme;

    The street running down the side of my property is a dumping ground for taxed and MOT’d cars that never move. In the six years or so that we’ve lived there I would estimate that ten cars have been parked there until they settle to their rims before disappearing for a day to come back with a new MOT. Not all junkers either - one was a 5l Merc with a custom flip flop paint job.
    I really don’t understand what the scam is? There must be something going on.

  • It's possible this isn't a scam, just a person who really likes cars but hasn't really worked out the sensible thing to do would be to have fewer cars and use the money to get a car storage unit.

    A guy near me has about 10-12 cars (that I know of) and he uses a bit of on road, non-permit, free parking to store some of them. He seems to only keep 2 or 3 in running rotation at a time, the others will languish until I assume he gets bored of those 3 and gets a few of the others in driving condition again.
