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.

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.

It's sat on a farm down just down the road from me. 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.

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.

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.

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

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...

How is that 205 100% rusty except one door?

I thought it was a filing cabinet at first... 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!

NEWSFLASH!  The blue Lexus is still there, but is now upside down.

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.
