To be fair the Daewoo was smashed into pushing it into the Coupe

[outlaw118]

To be honest I'm a bit surprised - I'd have thought that the front of the coop would have been stronger than that.....

Took me months to catch them as it was-I expect that has been squashed by now anyway.

http://www.railcar.co.uk/Gallery/VicBerry.htm ? (Good for those of you into rail shite)Or maybe it was this one that got burnt out? :-http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leic ... 126752.stm

[fordpoplier]

I just looked at all those pictures of squashed trains and started feeling sorry for them. What is this site doing to me:)

[reallyloud]

The Vic Berry train yard was cleared quite a few years ago - mid 90's I think and its probabily a car park/houses/warehouse/business park etc now, so I doubt whether the fire occured there. I do like my trains in blue.

[Vin]

Vic Berry. Notable due to the unusual practice of stacking Locos and coaches as you would carsYou're right datsuncherry, Berry's closed in the early 90's after a tramp dossing in a stack of coaches set it on fire, sending a large quantity of asbestos into the Leicester sky. It was shut down straight away.More unusual picshttp://www.derbysulzers.com/vicberry.html

[Guest]

1960'S Renault 4. Shame its not in use diddnt look that bad.

[outlaw118]

Everyone should have a go in a R4 at least once! That one looks like a real prospect... (I really must stop thinking like this...)Is that old enough to have the powerhouse 747cc lump?

[outlaw118]

Schmokin'!!!I know, I learnt to drive in my dad's one - R4 TL (Total Luxury?), and was supposed to be having it for my first car, but the old fella argued with a VW Golf, and lost. So I bought a 1979 (V) 4GTL (Grand Tourer Luxe?) with the crazeee 1108cc lump.I've never fully recovered.....

[seth]

Saw an early R4 at the Ace last year. Lovely thing. I hope that one is in the hands of an enthusiast and doesn't get put out for the tow truck
