The Raptor 1,211 Posted January 21 In the car park of the flats where the pub used to be on the corner of King street/carrow Road there's a lime green sports car. It had a foreign plate which you now can't see as the car is covered in dust. I'm sure it's not moved for at least a couple of years. I notice it every game. Only a footballer would have so much spare cash/be dumb enough to leave it there right!? I wonder whose it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings of a Sparrow 1,418 Posted January 21 (edited) Yes I've noticed that. Definitely been abandoned. I think it's a Porsche Panamera. My first thought was drug dealer I have to say. Based on **** all 😁 I've just googled it... Edited January 21 by Wings of a Sparrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially given the Saudi plates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,562 Posted January 21 Joe Strummer returned to England from Spain in a hurry as his wife was about to give birth to their second daughter. He left his car in a car park in Madrid and forgot about it for years. Eventually someone made a film about it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,676 Posted January 23 (edited) It's not a footballers, but I couldn't tell you who the guy is. He was in the country pre-covid because it had been moved and parked into one of our rental prop spaces, when it shouldn't have been. It got a long list of tickets and had a flat tyre at that point. We did get hold of him and he moved it to where it is now. Each one of those spaces is allocated to a flat though, and due to a ridiculous leaseholder issue the spaces are in real demand so whoever it is is still paying the extortionate management fee's at that block....

Google Bot 3,278 Posted January 23 Maybe we can go 'claim it', @TIL 1010 uses his previous experience to pull a few strings and fake the documentation, then @nutty nigel sets up a raffle for it? Everyone's a winner, right?! We just need someone gullible enough to take it. In fact, I heard it was Daniel Farke's and you can still smell him on the seats @lake district canary (?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Edwards 2,237 Posted January 24 Given the Saudi plates and the proximity to Carrow Road, the only realistic explanation is that there were indeed Arabs and camels marching down the street and that Delia and Michael had them abducted, tied and gagged and they’re now locked in the cupboard with the ACN flags.
