Default what a waste!!

Was just watching an episode of the 'Bearded Explorer' on youtube and he and his friends were investigating a car grave yard somewhere in England, and commenting on various cars there. Parked next to each other, a 2004 Rover 25 with just 18k miles and a 2004 MG ZT with 30k, both sitting there since around 2010. Real shame if these never move again and very little rust/rot on any of the cars. (edit - more 45s and MGs later in the video)

There's another thread on the same subject:

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=317533

Apparently the site was cleared some time ago.

All since been removed reading the comment underneath. A real shame. A lot of the cars looked like they would have been in very good condition at the point they were left.
