Havard Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The poster on Retro Rides wants money to reveal the location... Considering it is meant to be sarcasm, has he actually revealed the location now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Considering it is meant to be sarcasm, has he actually revealed the location now? To be honest I haven't bothered to check... best go do that now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 here's the next post copied and pasted from RR "Thought I would link all previous posts regarding the not really abandoned (supra on a driveway). ???????? So forum members who may have missed earlier posts know what's going on.... I finally had a reply regarding this, the chap who took the original picture had a ride out to call to the house, for that I thank him for going out of his way & even more so for the unnecessary abuse he received once he knocked on the door, which was a little stronger than being called a (dick) by someone who doesn't know the first thing about you but must be sharp minded to come up with that witty one..????????. (Smiley face smiley face).(sarcasm alert) so I'm not misunderstood He was told in no uncertain terms the car is not for sale & never has been. He is fed up & has been for years with the amount of people knocking on from. His words not mine....... "Little boy racer cnuts" "Tawts who think because it looks the way it does its for sale & will take it off his hands" The location is Oldbury the house number is 38. I won't put his address out on an open forum or through message as requested by the owner who said he isn't bothered what interest there is in it by owners,enthusiasts,breakers,scrapmen. Hope that clears everything up.????☺????????????????????????????????????????" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 and part of this thread has been copied and pasted on to RR too... can a mod please lock/delete this thread. I'm sorry I tried to save a Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Wow, the owner obviously more money than sense if they can just let it sit there and rot away. Such a shame but i'd look at it like this, would you want to give someone with that attitude like that any of your hard earned money even if it was to try and save a Supra?

MadMax2042 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Perhaps the car has a deep sentimental value to the owner and his reasons are his own and should be respected. Good find and a good thread too. Thanks for keeping us updated on the whole experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Anyone who lets a car get into that condition should be flogged imo. Shame about the owner but you cannot save them all, Soopra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 LOL, an Englishman's home is still (just...) his castle. I wonder how he responds to Jehovah's Witnesses? Knocking on stranger's doors carries its risks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It looks pristine to some of the stuff around these parts, and people are driving them about like that Thankfully there's not yet a law demanding you keep your car clean.

There isnt but if he's getting poeple knocking on his door asking if the cars forsale, abandoned then doing something about the condition would help stop that 99% would just drive by without noticing it if it wasnt in that state. putting a cover over it would help keep it away from the public view if he obviously cant be arsed to keep its condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether clean or dirty, if people see a car they like stood on a drive, it's only a matter of time until you start getting knocks on the door. Probably the best thing he could do would be to put a fake 'for sale' sign in the window, highlight the cars faults and put on an enormous price tag. Oh, and 'no offers considered'. That would stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
