neighbours car

[bill.]

drove down to my parents house last weekend, they where out, so i gave them a call, when they told me about the neighbours car on its roof up the road, they drove past it at 6.15 am saturday morning, stopped to check inside, there was nobody in, but the keys where still in the ignition, so they rang the dibbles, so i went up and took a couple of shots, this car, was absolutley MINT, they didn't come any better than this bad boy, the guys pride and joy, had it locked up over winter and had only just taken it out of the garage, ihe had had it for ages that i know of, GUTTED!

heres a pic for you

Mmmm, funny thing is, whenever i saw the guy driving around, he never seemed to boot it, didn't drive like a dickhead, seemed to be a true enthusiast, was in his late 30's/early 40's, and where it was smashed up, was just round the corner from his house, so not a unknown road, i could only guess, that either a) he's hit a bit of gravel and its put him into a slide( i have done this in the same spot, but all was fine, and its something i'm wary of now ),B) its been nicked ( doubt it though) or C) he's been on the pop ( :shock: ) or A and C, or should that be C and A!

there where 2 cop cars, at his house on the morning, it'll come out, you know how people talk, damb shame whatever.

[Jamie.]

[Amirclio]

Such a shame!!!!
I will own one, one day!

[bill.]

just have to see what turns up on the driveway next, i would imagine another intergrale tbh though :twisted:

[Imperial_16v]

Shame that.

Still, he's not even running x4 tyres of the same type. Won't help handling like with differing tread patterns. Still, gutting when something like that happens... hopefully move on to bigger and better things! :wink:

[bill.]

good point and well spotted :shock:

[Daz.]

Matched fronts and backs though - I know people who prefer it this way?

Really, I wouldn't mate. The back would be "acting" different to the front. Nevermind though. :wink: It's not something I would do like. :P
