That looks like it has been abandoned :S
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Looks like a gang of armed ski-masked Staffies used it to block the lorry and raid all the rawhide chew toys!

On the way back a moss green mgb gt rubber bumper model in a car park opposite

It is for sale so if anyone is interested and you can't make out the number in the pictures, I noted it down.
There were some blisters in the paint but otherwise it looked ready for a years motoring.

This rather sorry sight in a hotel car park in Bude. By the condition I would think this has been there for a very long time. Image

According to the DVLA, it has been unlicensed since August 2007. It's a shame as I love a classic rover and I am sure that someone could perk that up and get it back on the road :)
