New definition of a 'shed'.

This one looks as if it's due for an MOT:

Got to be a Toyota engine in there !

I so wished I'd gotten a photo of it but while working in Uruguay circa 2007, I was walking past a filling station and became aware of a popping, misfiring wreck of a Fiat 500, the square bodied one from the 80s perhaps. Mismatched panels, no dash, wires visible all over the place, hardly any interior, a right old...running...wreck

Am I the first person to notice the reg number?

 

[I like Skol]

Car looks fine to me, few minor tweaks and would be doing 80 on the motorway

 

[slowmotion]

Pah! With a bit of elbow grease it'll buff up nicely.

It's called patina

Fiat 126 then? Fond memories of those, I learned to drive in one aged about 13.

Some of the cars/trucks in the US I saw last time I was there weren't in much better shape. Some states don't have inspections (MOTs) as it infringes on civil liberties. Lots of YouTube videos on this subject.

Ah well never mind, if a broken down truck with no brakes doesn't get you a loony with an automatic assault rifle will.

In Canada once I saw a car with a shock absorber failed and a massive wheel imbalance. The wheel was literally leaving the road on each revolution. It was a front wheel too so the driver was getting a proper workout through the steering wheel. On they merrily went though.

There used to be some dodgy things on the roads here when I was younger too.

I recall a neighbour with an extremely rusty MkII Escort van when the rear spring hangers had pushed through the chassis rails and the into the load bay - repaired by bolting a sheet of plywood to floor to keep the springs down!

If you want a real laugh look at 'Just Rolled in' on YouTube. The stupidity of some Americans never ceases to amaze me.

Most vehicles I stopped in Basrah. They also often stank to the point of making me heave!
Also, most of the Land Rover snatches we drove were like that🫣

This is a proper shed on wheels
