  1. these images bring that neck injury flooding back..funny...i was thinking that the Warty might still be languishing in some local junkyard...the object that Jesus is retrieving from the boot was a vintage saxaphone which incredibly was undamaged..whilst the disciple on his rights suitcase was totally crushed..he had to do the rest of his holiday with a rubbish bag...when we finally got down sth me in resplendid neck brace..for my birthday i insisted on a picnic in the local junkyard...wonderful!..are those images to old to be worth posted ?

  2. Wanganuis a pretty small place... a town NZ tried to forget hence why its the last place u can afford to buy a house..plently of 80s original Japper nonsense..some beautifully preserved..last Mitsi Galant street sale lost its wheels after one night just up the road from me...the vintage car club keep their excess collection in the shed nxt door to the one i live in..they just "threw' out a DKW ,Skoda recently..and i bought a a beauty 65 Viva HA on Natural Gas off them for 120 quid..ill squizz around town soon wif me camera..spotted a Mitsi Geneva Mirage rotting outside someones beach house yesterday...my mate owns one..he loves it!?

  3. I was living in Berlin in 93 n some local hippies invited me to a free holiday in the Sth of France. We d been offered a free ol Wartburg Deluxe by a East German family in Potsdam so we went out n took delivery of it.Lovingly original with self emptying ashtrays..we brougth it back to Berlin and bought a few trays of 2 stroke oil and off we set..we headed off into France and when about 100km from Lyon we passed thru a quaint local village.We decided to stop for a coffee so my mate Sunja did a u -turn and pulled up outside the caf..unfortunately not quite getting our arse over the white line.I was sitting as front seat passenger and undid my safety belt.Upon doing that we were then rammed at about 70kph by a drunk French famer in a new Renault 5.I whiplashed after headbutting the dachboard full force..my rearward jettison breaking the seat !..we were pushed into a hedge blocking my door and the car instantly filled with petrol fumes..we d just filled it up..and the impact split the fuel tank wide open..the exhaust pipe runs under it and it was a miracle we didnt explode.I did a Ejection thru the sun roof and didnt realise the extent of my concussion so immediately photographically documented the incident.The rear tail light was set into our back tyre! When the fire brigade arrived one of them asked me what kind of car it had been so i repied its an East German Porsche! We abandoned the wreck! I ended up in hospital in Lyon with severe concussion n whiplash! We ditched the rest of the hippies and completed the rest of the journey by jumping one of the supertrains.Ill post a photograph soon of the accident.

  4. I lived in a small village outside Granada in 1990 which had a real precarious road.We used to borrow a German mates fantastic ol Mercedes 240D to get home afer a night out on the discos.Needless to say..my mate was a bit pished n and whilst attempting a severe right hand bend at about 100kph..the arse gently slid to the left until we completed a full turn.. side slamming the kerb at full force bouncing in the air with a then ominous hissing sound as we gently lowered ourselves to the ground.On a darkened inspection we d lost two tyres..and split one wheel in half.We were rescued by a local in a Seat 600..and on returning in the morning to fit the spares..we d completely bent the axle so that the wheel was inclined on a really bad outward angle.Our mate was not happy n due to the luxurious prices of spare parts it cost us over 100000 pesatas..a new axle and three qtrs of a suspension system homebuild before the Murky was back on the road. Then someone nicked the front seats out of it!...
