Good idea re canvassers. I'm tempted to do the same, but I'll have to take my own photo, or the canvassers might recognise it! Shouldn't be hard to find another example.  :(

My friend's house last week  :( Fortunately the family were all at the back of the house at the time.

I wonder which will be more expensive, the repairs to that ShiNy Jag, or the house.

How the heck does someone retain their driving licence when they are such a sh!t driver?

Because it's a god-given right? Isn't it in the Magna Carta or something?

I should mention that that house is the other side of a T junction at the head of a longish straight road.

The Jag was probably Daddy's car  ;D ;D

Excellent. 
Unfortunately the perp was pretty unlucky that a cop actually noticed.

A couple of doors down from the shop there is a dance school which is pretty well attended, particularly on Saturday mornings. Put it this way, if I'm not in the shop before 9 on a Saturday then parking is nigh impossible. People will park on the pavement right outside the shop, blocking the pavement and the door but seem to move sharpish whenever I start wielding a BMX with stunt pegs and bear trap pedals. Can't think why...

Recently all the bays (1 hour & no return within) and the yellow lines and the bus stop were all repainted. Coincidentally the Police chose that weekend for a blitz. One woman who parked on the pavement, in the bus stop and against the flow of traffic had a ticket written and stuck on the car in less time than it took for her to carry (YES. CARRY!) her precious the thirty feet from the car to the door of the studio. The Constable explained in no uncertain terms that if she wanted to get steamed about it he would have no problem in issuing a FPN for obstruction and at that point she STFU.

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

A special shout out to the guy who'd just stopped (I couldn't even call it "parked") at the junction at the bottom of the road. The emergency? He had to nip into the bookies ::-)

He'd even left the engine running. Oh, the temptation.

Lost property. Either take the whole car or just the keys to the local cop shop.

(Years ago my dad reported a car as lost/abandoned on the A23 near Gatwick. 28 days later it was his. DKW, two stroke.)

I rather think it would have been one of the forerunners of AUDI.

Cudzo has it right. Four ring logo (Auto Union IIRC). Apparently chummy was emigrating and couldn't flog it, so abandoned it on the dual carriageway beloved of the FNRTTC looking for coffee en route to Brighton. Recovered to Horley Police station (which is odd, as the dual carriageway is in Sussex (perhaps he'd left just this side of the border)) and then to our garage. Engine was seized/rusted up so Dad sold it for spares to some enthusiasts.  must have been '71, '72, that sort of time.

One of the four companies which merged to form Auto-Union, the others being Audi, Horch and Wanderer.  IIRC VAG still owns the names; a Maybach-stylee revival for Horch has been mooted in the past.
