Had they finally discovered where John stashes his 'hot' alloys?
Oi, I resemble that remark!
Kully and I had the above conversation a couple of weeks ago in Al's Old Skool Memory thread. This weekend, I happened to be passing through Rawtenstall so stopped to take a couple of snaps.
V567 LOH is a V6 auto with leather and aftermarket 17s, T130 VPU is a manual Zetec with (mouldy!) cloth and ST24 16s. Judging by the flat tyres and moss growing up the sides of both cars, I'd say they've been there quite a while (the blue Hyundai coupé next to them was in a similar state), but I imagine someone with enough time and motivation could rescue either or both. No idea what condition the rear subframes are in, but I'd hazard a guess at 'not great'.
Rich, both are showing as SORN with DVLA.
The Zetec's MOT expired in Jan '14 and the V6's expired in Jun '10.

This is the one I bought on 14-11-15. Then owner in the Wisbech area [edit; I'd need to check but 05-03-14 might have been the owner previous to that], his brother had it for sale on a front lawn in my village near King's Lynn. Was there for several months price dropped by £200 or more, until I needed to replace my last car urgently.
Not seen any others since - can't remember the last time I saw one.
Keep an eye out around West Norfolk, and I'll do the same.

Lowestoft, Suffolk
London Road South, (B1532, southbound) parked. RE51 FKK, silver.
Stradebroke Road, parked. X226 VOO, green.
I was a passenger so was as much as I could do to get the numbers.
Ebony C2 V6, X764 PPU, spotted in the car park of Glasgow Quays tonight, outside the Ibis hotel. The registration doesn't appear in our list, but I'd say the car is (or has been at one time) owned by an enthusiast, it had a US spec front grille and a Cougar head badge on the boot, surrounded by a '30th Anniversary Edition' trim.
B&Q in Milton Keynes this afternoon. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time I've seen this car, and the guy might actually work there.
C1 Melina V6...

I do hope you flyered that cougar
Regrettably, I don't have any flyers. But I don't think this will be the last time I see that car.
I've also seen another Cougar* in that same car park too, and also made a point of parking next to it!
it was gone once I'd finished shopping though
*May or may not have been the same Car
Unidentified ebony in the carpark of the gym in Malvern Wells around 1230 today. Mr Leaper getting some pre-xmas training in?
And a red C2 spotted by Dave-V6 in Las Vegas earlier this week.

It was there today and yesterday. It's probably the same car you saw and is either someone who works there or someone with a major DIY fetish.
I need a flyer.
Argos clearance centre in corby this arvo, frosty with alloys (non std) could have possibly worked there
Imma do this. He/she will either come here or just be one of those Cougarists. Lets see about that.
