Title: Reporting Previous Owners to NSPCC
Post by: SheWhoMustNotBeOUTBID on 04 November 2008, 19:24:58
OK, because of need to tow cars back and Jue having a near accident towing an Omega back with an Omega in bad weather, some of u will know that we have bought a bargain basement Range Rover Classic (Vogue SE).  

Still not regretting it exactly but oh dear.., mould on seat belts, green mould on windows and dash, the previous owners were also horse owners so straw and unmentionables everywhere.., will be scrubbing for quite a while.  Its not a bad car underneath it all, real wood veneers etc .., I felt quite sad for the car for the neglect it had received.  Told Jue I was reporting them to NSPCC

Some owners are just too cruel to cars.  

That's what its for isn't it?

Jue just said I needed help.

Too right!  As long as the help arrives armed with a scrubbing brush and bucket :P

Perhaps you should have bought it in Chelsea, not in the sticks?

I know u shouldn't sort of have these thoughts but lol, they had rescued horses.., and yet the car needed rescuing quite badly.  I'm getting fonder and fonder of the poor thing lol.  Its gonna look great when its finished.

Mmmh maybe I'd better start up 'RescueHome4NeglectedLargeCars' unless anyone can think of a better name?
