Down south this weekend, and this morning bumped into my old ST170 :D They left the lexus fogs and pug wiper on it! Sold in Luton, parked up in Blandford (near Bournemouth) 150 miles away

Saw my old RS50 last year in a Halfords car park.
The little scrote who bought it and promptly mouthed off to me on the Aprilia forums because I found a photo of him doing a burnout and called him a plank was buying some 2t oil for it. When I approached him I noticed the fairing was completely trashed down one side, turns out he'd had a spill and wrecked it - I was gutted because when I sold it the bike was immaculate :(
 
Someone said they saw my Puma a few weeks ago near by. Haven't seen it myself again though :(
 
I've seen my old fiesta out and about occasionally, glad to see it still works after the thrashing I gave it!
 
I saw my old Mini when I was up North during the summer parked near one of my mate’s houses. Had a parking ding on the front bumper :(
 
nope R19 apparently trundled on for a couple of years round newcastle
mondeo, crashed. Split for parts I'd guess
first xantia went to scrapyard in sky
2nd xantia went to a cab firm in stoke
van went to some car dealer but I've not seen it on the road
accord looks like the guy is going to use it for parts
 
If we can list sightings by mates then one told me he saw my Saab 900 at my local Lidl, i sold it to an irish guy in walthamstow but apparently its now a nigerian cruiser (going by the flag sticker) with a trashed front side panel and no passenger side mirror :(
 
Saw one of my mums old cars (about 4/5 cars ago now) up for sale in a backstreet 2nd hand dealers. Hadent seen it around where we live before so dont know if it went away and came back or what it had been up to.
 
my cars seem cursed when i sell them.... :o

orion - went to scrap yard
escort - part exed for XR2 - wrote off by new buyer
XR2 - i wrote it off, repaired, sold, then got smashed up proper
XR3i - sold it to a mate, had the 16" wheels and other trick bits nicked off it and left on bricks in a layby 2 days after i sold it him :o
205 - sold it to a mate, driveshaft snapped and took out steering rack. (i did tell him to replace it before driving it anywhere!)
Escort - got wrote off 3 weeks after getting it
Fiat Panda - sold it and it then promptly failed its mot and got scrapped.
Current Escort - darent sell it to anyone!

Not sure I'd want to bump into an old car. Just incase something horrid\chavtastic had happened.

Forgot about that one. Sold my Civic EK and a few weeks later it looked like a boat!

Body kit which went sloped up at each end of the car (WT....???) Apparently had rage flip of paint, in reality it had been dusted over with copper spray paint on the edges / arches / corners. It looked a right state :(
 
Yup. I've bumped into (not literally) 2 of my old cars :), an old fester, which the girlfriend of the time named 'ufma', on account of 3 of 'her :P' reg letters. And I'm happy to say that the owner after me (who afaik still has it!) kept the name. Bumped into her one day and she said something along the lines of "ufma's doing really well!", which I found amusing. And also an old beemer which I saw 120 miles away with 3 reasonable looking dudes in.
 
we used to have an old 94 plate cavelier years ago and when we bought the car after, we gave the old one for about £50 off the price lol. A month or so after, the person who lives over the road to my gf's sister had bought it at auction.
 
Saw my folks' old Rover 214 (K-reg) at Shakespeare County Raceway of all places! About a year or two after it was traded in for an RX8 at Aylesbury Mazda.
