Dukestar25 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Been travelling round a bit this month and wanted to share these with you...enjoy!Rag top Metro Early MX-6 These were in a compound to the rear of what used to be a car dealers forecourt (wonder what's in those sheds?)Fuggered SavannahNot so fuggered Stag More to follow...
Dukestar25 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 Irish plated Pug 505 EstateThis apparently is a Duck Marine. It is truck based tourist carrier and drives around the Albert Dock in Liverpool. It was really funny to watch this one launch itself at speed, down one of the ramps into the water Found these in Thornton, LancashireOMG Green Goddess!!! Never seen one of these before so i was delighted to spot this in a drivewayabandoned old tractor looks worse than it is...but at least someone is making use of it some campershite More again to follow...
outlaw118 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I think Ilfracoombe in N Devon's got one of those amphibious duck things....
Dukestar25 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 More Blackpool Dross...Haven't seen one of these for donkeys...I wonder if this glows in the darkLike these This was for sale with 130k on the clock. It was very clean but for £995..?and found this lil honey in Manchester, slightly rough but all there
VWPowered Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 ohhh i love those wheels would look much better on my rocco though Tractor is a Massey Ferguson
CortinaDave Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Blackpool seems to be a bit of a hotbed of dross, its great.Hate to seem like a typical cloth cap wearing classic car muppet, but the Stag for me please... looks a beauty
Mr Lobster Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That R5 has been on eBay a couple of times recently. Looks lovely but I shall resist!
Dukestar25 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 Blackpool seems to be a bit of a hotbed of dross, its great.It can be quite plentiful depending on where and when you go. I went to see if that rather crispy R-reg corolla you all loved on my other thread was still there and,sadly, it has now been removed I'm back in blackpool in October so I'll see what else I can find..
Father Ted Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Nice spots.I really must update the Crypt, there is a Landcrab in Hoghton I need to capture too first though.
Dukestar25 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 Nice spots.I really must update the Crypt, there is a Landcrab in Hoghton I need to capture too first though.You're actually handier for Blackpool than me, you might also want to take a ride to St.Annes via Freckleton, sometimes get classic/choddy motors around that area too...
Father Ted Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Was in Freck /Warton on Monday night - had a quick look around what used to be Georges garage at Warton but nothing caught my eye - the wife was with me and she disapproves of my shite spotting, especially as we were off out to that new Indian in Warton for a meal.There are a couple of places down Naze lane that are full of prize chod.Theres a classic car show at Hoghton Tower sometime soon, and there is a nursery site down Higher Walton Rd with some old knackers in the sheds - the landcrab is there.... Oh and that eccentrics house up Kittlingborne Brow with the weird Broughton badged A series and a few rotting Spitfires in his garden and an old K reg Regal hand painted in green...
Dukestar25 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 Sounds tasty! I've not been to a 'proper' classic car show for ages, when is it?Yeah, and also my other half isn't taken on the 'tat spottage' idea either...
pogweasel Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Good spottage!The escort III on mis-matched Halfords trims clearly hasn't migrated far, given the 'xCW' registration. Te Hillman Minx on 4-spokes is causing me uncontrollable pant friction. LUSH.
Father Ted Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Sounds tasty! I've not been to a 'proper' classic car show for ages, when is it?:http://www.hoghtontower.co.uk/events.html13th Sept.Its a fairly pleasant place for a day out with a coupe of decent pubs nearby serving beer & food ( Boat yard is good, Hoghton arms expensive, and Old Oak very good but the landlord can be a funny bugger)
keef Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 there is a Landcrab in Hoghton I need to capture too first though.Did you ever?
Father Ted Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Not yet, but gyppy tum would dictate a trip to my doctors tomoz and I may well be passing with my camera....
keef Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 may well be passing with my camera....Great.As long as you don't end up passing your camera! LOL
Father Ted Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 http://autoshite.commlm/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 009#114009 As per the updated Crypt... NOT a Blandcrab
keef Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 NOT a Blandcrab That's a shame, although must be a rare-ish motor these days.
Mash Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 http://autoshite.commlm/forum/viewtopic.php?p=114009#114009 As per the updated Crypt... NOT a Blandcrab It's odd but the majority of PC Crestas and Viscounts I see are all K-reg, wonder if they were dirt cheap in their last year so sold quite a few!
Pete-M Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I know the chap who owns the Ducks. They need a full service once or twice a week, and the diff oil changing pretty much constantly.One is a proper ex-WWII Dunkirk and back job.
Pete-M Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 NOT a Blandcrab That's a shame, although must be a rare-ish motor these days.There's a rusty Landcrap outside Mouldsworth Motor Museum. Don't think it's too far gone to save, yet.
keef Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 There's a rusty Landcrap outside Mouldsworth Motor Museum.http://www.mouldsworthmotormuseum.com/admission.htm ?Anyone near that can take a few snaps please?Or is it this one? :-http://www.mouldsworthmotormuseum.com/i ... _fall1.jpg

I suspect it'll need a welding marathon but it looks reasonably straight.I'll grab a pic when I go back in a week or two.
keef Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I'll grab a pic when I go back in a week or two.Many thanks.

brammy777 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 ah bumhats!That hasnt happened to me just yet, i trespassed a carpark today just for a spot and no one noticed.....
