Split_Pin Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Thats a great spot. I bloody love those. It's either a Scotstoun built Reiver with a 401 or 411 engine or a Bathgate built Super Mastiff with a Perkins V8.

Missy Charm Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Has anyone else seen the crashed blue Lexus on the A12? Northbound side, by a bridge on the Essex/Suffolk border. It's been there for months. neil1971 and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few interesting bits of old rusty metal there, will take more pics next time I walk that way. Think the farm is up for sale so no doubt it will all be moved on soon.

Split_Pin Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Very very few of these lorries on the rally scene. There are only 2 6 wheelers I regularly see pictures of at shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Not a car, but there's an abandoned box trailer at the side of the A16, just south of Boston. Looks quite a decent one, not a bad size but it's missing a wheel. Been there about two months now. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I was tempted to grab it myself, but a lack of towbar/CBAness meant I didn’t. I don’t know if it’s just that the wheel has come off due to loose nuts or something more serious. It’s on the verge on the northbound side, somewhere near the roundabout with the Starbucks/Costa.

beko1987 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 About half a mile from my house is an old quarry. Said old quarry was abandoned for years (dodgy owner, bailed the country, debts owing etc) and I'd take the kids there often to play (safely of course, they mostly enjoyed hurling massive rocks into the water pools. Then the site got bought and we got told (nicely tbh, they were a nice bunch of lads) to clear off. So we did. Fast forward a year or so and the new owners have stripped out the overgrown footpath that ran down the side of it, so we went and had a walk today and found a 205 Ffs Charlie get out of it... Then he stood up from a mild squat and hadn't gone anywhere near it so good boy Then we stepped on some slightly crunch ground and found the remains of another car... I then spotted something lying in a culvert exit and pulled an escort van back door out 😂 Was a fun day! Posted the pictures on the local litter picking group and they all wet themselves. Might go join a working party there if it happens, I do enjoy cleaning up woodlands in a strange calming way... chodweaver, AnnoyingPentium, Shite Ron and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva saw under the thich bush and said it was a car! The painted door has all the frame smashed down as well and looked rust free even on the bends, the rest of the car would crumble with a light touch I think!

Markeh Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 There's a Note half way up a reasonably well used road near me that's clearly been twatted up the rear and punted into the kerb, wheel on the rear corner not looking healthy. First clocked it on Boxing Day, still hasn't moved and now has at least a broken rear quarter window. Might try and get a pic tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
