Now I'm going to have a little rant. The Mini and Jaguar have now 'mysteriously vanished'. Only the carbs were worth saving on the Jag and the Mini was a goner as well and no doubt the plates will reappear on another soon. Now I'm not blaming anybody on here and I've had a similar rant on the other motoring forum this was posted on, but whilst the cars are abandoned it is plain and simple theft and it pisses me off (as I bet it does for you as well!) Sometimes these cars, well in Aus anyway, literally are abandoned. Its popular for backpackers to leave cars on the streets and fly home without selling them or just leaving them at the airport. Years ago I tried for a fortnight to find the owner of an abandoned Mazda. It could have provided a ton of spare parts for myself and some others, instead the council took it away and it was crushed. If it's abandoned on someones front lawn or whatever, then yes, it's theft, but if it's on the side of the road with no plates and has been left after dying that last time or dumped in the bush, then I think it's open slather. |

Judging by the dust on it it's pretty dry as well. Would be better to see it being used though |

found this parked up in a hedge down a lane. just a bit further down the lane there was what looked like a mini / morris estate buried deep in the undergrowth, could only see the back doors and missed it to take a pic
