But I sold it around 10 years ago, shortly after moving in with my then girlfriend, now wife, as the running costs were just getting a bit high as a daily.

I let it go for a ridiculously cheap amount and I've regretted it every day since I adored that car.

I'm emailing you because I recently looked up my old number plate and I was in shock to find two photos of my old car in what seems to be a Toyota graveyard in Poland.

This is particularly weird as I sold the car in Cheltenham in brackets.

I've attached one picture of when I own the car and two which I came across the other day in the Polish graveyard.

I can see they replaced the boot and fitted the World Rally style spoiler, replaced the JDM rear lights, replaced the projector headlights for halogens, fitted TRD not turd style spats to the rear bumper.

and did a lip to the front bumper replaced the lovely rally oz obviously he hasn't been studying these photos with some replace the lovely oz with horrific wheels i can only assume they removed the confetti recaros too anyway i'm not sure how these old pictures how old these pictures are but i do hope the car's still alive somewhere in poland it probably isn't

but the fact they've replaced so many parts rather than stripping it down does give me some hope.

I've tried contacting the site where I found the pictures, but my now wife, then girlfriend, has decided to go and get herself pregnant with help from me.

So it's probably best that I don't try and buy it back right now.

But there is a question here.

And the question is, have you ever been shocked to see a car you previously owned in a really weird place?

Bonus points if it's in a completely different country.

Cheers, mate.

Thanks, mate.

Bye, Tom.

Yes, is the short answer.

I've got two, and I'll make them quick.

One, I sold a yellow, I think it was 1977 Volkswagen Derby, chrome bumper model, which I bought out of a scrapyard, and I've said this story years ago.

I bought it out of a scrapyard because I was in that scrapyard that day looking for parts for another car.
