Some good photos there. Things like the Nike football were obviously staged though.

 

Whats going off with the lights on this?

 

 

Looks like a Mk2 Golf. Did they have different headlights in South America or something?

The 206CC stuffed down the gap between the building and pavement was in Leeds - Wellington St to be exact. I remember it happening.

I also think its a cracking shame that the potatoes fell on a Escort Van. I cant think* of a single type of potato to make a pun out of that. If they had fallen on a Estima, Galant(e), Accord, Sovereign, Melody, Corolle(a) etc we would have been onto a really bad pun.

 

 

*Think = look on Google

Edit: These must be Vana potatoes, the commercial versions of the Cara potato.

Fuck, how did I miss that.

We might not be able to make any potato based puns regarding the mashed front of that... oh wait, there's one.

[HillmanImp]

It seems to be causing some trouble for the peelers parked behind.

[vulgalour]

Do you reckon Autoglass will still repair those chips on his windscreen?

[HillmanImp]

They could make a half baked attempt at it I suppose

It's not a Golf at all. Note C-pillar thickness. It's a VW do Brasil VW Gol, which, despite having strong Golf overtones stylistically, is a totally different car, powered by an aircooled beetle boxer that isn't mounted in the arse end.

In that photo it looks more like a Polo coupe. Confuzzling.

Looks like he's got a few chips on his paintwork...

[Albert Ross]

I'll bet he's in for a roasting off his Boss for bending the van. I suppose he'll need to be quite thick skinned about it.

[Paul Dupart]

Too much waffle now!

[Mr Lobster]

I assume the windscreen got Smashed too.

[Des]

Couple of wings and a bonnet and that van would be easily sauted.

[vulgalour]

Well whoever was driving the potato truck made a bit of a hash of things, driving clearly isn't a job for them, they should just jacket in.

[HillmanImp]

Saying that though, its no great loss. With an Escort van of that age the sills and rear arches were propably a bit crisp-y.

It's just a tattie old 'scrote van. Joey Spud'll be along in a minute to collect it.

Another Rosti Ford

[brickwall]

Apparently, two 1970's American motorcycle cops attended this accident - "Ponch" Poncherello &  "Jon" Baker 

 

 

[HillmanImp]

It looks like a bad crash TBH, I hope the driver wasn't wedged in.

[HillmanImp]

BALLHANG!!!! That was my 3,000th post. What a fucking waste.

[Grundig]

The van was repaired, but the paint was mixed to the wrong colour - it was a hash brown

i wouldnt know where to starch making jokes about this, but i bet the driver was boiling mad

[Albert Ross]

Well, he's not driving that home, so I guess he's a Walker now...

That is a polo shell, with what looks like old school scirocco tail lights, still not sure about the head lights though. Love the fact it runs a boxer too. Weird as.
