Mondays observations: Madras St to High St


DTN479 people mover, children's drawings on the front seat, they'll be going on the fridge later I bet
 

CWA898
 

AFA7 Ø9
 

EZU864 these people obviously car about keeping their nice new car clean, there are plastic seat protectors, the car is amazingly immaculate.


XE5934 shabby sunburned paintwork but generally tidy inside, a music lover maybe, good sized speakers on the rear dash


BKK714 has at least one child, regulation car seat installed


AUC264


UH1985 has personalised their car with bright novelty seat covers. There is a coathanger hanging in the back


67YDE a little black step through bike with a broken indicator switch, the damage looks recent


DEU292 this one is a bit unloved, there is missing trim all over the car inside and out; no ashtray, speaker covers, rear bumper...in fact it looks like it has been methodically stripped for parts. Boot is a different color the seat covers are ruined with foam hanging out...last nights dinner wrappers are on the back seat. Otherwise there is nothing personal in the car whatsoever.


CBP773 looks like it belongs to an organised single person, there is a folded peice of paper on one seat and a pen. Do they like to make lists?


RS36 Ø1 uses their car as a mobile rubbish bin/ handbag. most of the stuff is in the passenger foot-well where the driver obviously chucks it for later. All sorts of things, bottles lollie wrappers coffee cups... and that looks like a pencil case


CKD151 is a very organised and responsible person, they have a tidy bag for rubbish hanging on the gear stick, a water bottle, a set of reusable shopping bags and a set of elastic bungy cords in the back. Love the fire engine red color, go faster red on a station wagon.


CHK88 clean impersonal car with a lot of stone chips on the front, looks like the car does long distances on the road...maybe this person lives a bit out of town.


CTN795 there is a tiny brightly colored childs scooter in the back, suitable for 3-5 years


YN6583 judging from the clothes and used towel in the back someone has been to the gym or the swimming pool today


AHG817 there is nothing personal in this car, but evidence of someone practical; clean rags and milk cartons in the back, a lockbar on the steering wheel


BWB33  Ø food crumbs on passenger seat and a lot of maps. There is a beautiful very new skateboard on the rear dash and a pair of aviator sunglasses. The board is the kind you might use for acrobatic maneuvers and stunts but it hasn't been used much yet.


RD4634 there is a towel spread on the back seat, is this because of a leaking window seal or a wet passenger? I think a dog is the most likely reason


Manchester street


YO6458 another impersonal car with practical things in it, there are several heavy duty ratchet tiedowns in the back that look like they have never been used.


LOLIES baby basinet in front and novelty sunscreen stuck on rear passenger window, there is a cuddly blanket and some reusable shopping bags. The car itself is a bit of a boyracer kit out, with snazzy air intakes and an impressive rear spoiler. the mixture of the cosy doemstic debris inside the car and the sleek silver built for speed body suggests someone with young kids who still dreams of a faster life


XT984  Ø completely clean and empty except for a notebook and some sunglasses


EFH162 boring


Gloucester street


DUG61Ø Vitamin supplement on the back seat and map open on passenger seat, glasses and MP3 player, this looks like a corporate travellor's car, maybe a rental.


EQJ534 a big people mover with dark tinted windows the back seats are folded away and there is half a toilet roll on the passenger seat


EUY721 a seat of cookbooks on the rear seat and a big red tin toolbox in the boot. Leaving an expensive toolkit like that in sight is going to be a temptation for someone.


EUM534 childseat and blanket combination and a brown paperbag lunch


BEG996 Used towel on back seat and a box of muesli bars. There are big bull bars on the front and extra spotlights for off-roading or night shooting, could be an outdoors person who likes hunting and fishing or just a serious poser.


EPW421 another tidy car, practical items like a box of tissues and a neatly folded windscreen sun shade. On the back seat is an instrument case of some kind, long and thin...a flute? intriguing.


CGQ526 big van with blacked out windows, not much in the cab brown bag lunch, floor a bit muddy...the most intriguing thing about this one is a pair of shoes sitting on the footpath looking as if someone has taken them off before getting in the back. There is noone around and the shoes are getting wet in the rain. They dont look as if they have been there for very long.


YY6561 empty clean and impersonal with nothing inside


High Street RZ8  Ø47 Lavender shawl on the floor in the rear foot well and a cd with no case on the seat. The last passenger in the front seat was very tall...the seat is pushed right back as far as it will go.


UJ725 odd mixture of things on the back seat; several spray cans, a pile of wooden coat hangers (the old-fashioned kind that are really good for hanging suits on), some speaker cables and a lot of mail. Looks a bit like someone has just picked up the last lot of stuff from a house they moved out of last week...


APB491 this looks like another commercial travellor's car, expensive black wool coat, open map on passenger seat, leather driving gloves and some takeaway food containers (deli rather than Macdonalds) in the foot-well on the passenger side.


US7499 a van kitted out for the road that has obviously been putting in the miles, carrying an impressive coating of road grime and mud spatter. bed in the back and random personal items strewn around. A hippy special, but more Wellington bohemian chic than Golden Bay tie-dye the curtains are Black and white floral and there is a Hawaiian hula doll stuck to the dash


DJM128 boring and impersonal, especially after that last one.


CLR372 a promising pile of picnic blankets in the back (the practical ones with vinyl on the back so no-one gets a wet behind sitting on the grass). There is a folder of documents on the passenger seat so I guess the picnics will have to wait until the weekend.


UN9282 tidy


AUA148 taking the remote control to get fixed? a broken remote is on the passenger seat, held together with electrical tape. This is the first car I have seen today where the person is obviously doing shopping errands, there is a parcel on the back seat.


BQD186 another eco-conscious shopper with a set of reusable cloth bags in the boot ready
and waiting
