Generally tidy, but a bad spray job just behind the driver's door that I'm itching to compound out. I'm sure I'll meet the owner eventually, so...
How about some guerilla polishing?

I get you, but I would never lay hands on someone else's car without permission.
I'm going to find out who s/he is and bring them into the fold. This car has been in the same area for long enough that they might actually care about it and join us.
They might not care. Or they might not know that we exist. I intend to find out.
Not sure , is it an irish plate ?I wonder where it's home is

This one has been bugging me, so I did a little research - it's a German plate, specifically (from Wikipedia):
"Vehicles which have not been registered (because they are for transfer within Germany) have to carry short-term plates valid only for five days. The code starts with the numbers 04, e.g. DD-04000, and the plate has a yellow strip on the right showing when they are valid. The date is listed numerically, on three lines, reading day, month, year, with two digits each. The vehicle need not have a valid technical inspection, however it must be technically fit to be operated in public. Insurance premiums are quite high, appr. €100 for the above-mentioned 5 days. Most insurance companies credit this premium if the car is registered as a normal car with the same insurance company after these 5 days."
The picture accompanying this little snippet is all but identical to the one in the picture (you can see for yourself at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Germany , scroll down to "Special Codes")
To me this raises more questions than it answers - why would a car on temporary German plates be parked up in Liverpool?
This also confirms that I really need to get a job soon...
The car was parked right in the middle of the university campus
