I have a spare Flymo to go with it Colin

Seriously, that could be a good bargain for someone. Under all that grass it looks fair

I'll wager the hydraulic leak is just a strut return pipe come adrift...

They should replace that grass with oilseed rape to make the ultimate carbon neutral car - just crush the seed and put the oil from it in the fuel tank

It does seem a shame for what appears to be a tidy looking Xantia to be, ahem, put out to grass . . . .

I wonder if it's got a sunroof under that lot!

Was probably once a nice car with AC and alloys...

He should have painted it matte black to deflect all those radar guns

I think you could get all that stuff off without leaving a trace.

Pathclear? Roundup? or just general sodium chlorate?

sorry to hear it

looking at trains,.

here's a tip..

If i book from London Friday night (peak) the whole jounrey is charged at peak (£94 single)

but if i book the same train to Peterborough, then rebook it to york and to Newcastle, the whole price is only £50

Are you using: www.thetrainline.com

If you book early enough you can make a reasonable saving!!

good site, just tried it.. but they come out at same price as network rail or whatever it is .. £94..

seems bizarre I can book that train 3 times back to back for £50
