Epic scrapyard photos!! (new update 30/10)

[trigger]

I thought i might as well update this with more photos seeing that more have been posted on flickr.

 

 

I can't remember seeing a Mk1 Fiesta van for a long time.

 

 

How long does this Transit look!

 

 

What kind of car is this?, A Cherry?

 

 

 

This looks remarkably rust free.

great pics

Great pics. Was flicking through some of the pics in Flickr when I came across this mk3 Fiesta. Interestingly the guy who put the pics up said that the family of the original owner of this car had located it and done a deal to buy it back and its now awaiting collection. I like stories like that. Only wish I could find some of the cars I've admired over the years and get them back.

I am in the process of doing exactly this with my totally non-shite Citroen Saxo I used to have about three and a bit years ago. It's a nice feeling to drive an old car once more after finding it again. Hopefully it hasn't been sold before I get the chance to pop up to the dealers tomorrow!

Five cars on a D-series... superb! I'm only just old enough to remember scrapyards this... err... lived in?!

Bit more of an update for you guys!

 

All this stuff has now been crushed according to the OP, hardly surprising looking at the state of most of them.

Here's the deal.

 

We flog the idea to the WAGs that a city break in Dublin would be a good plan. Then we introduce them, leave them to it, hire some minibuses and tour the scrapyards of the Emerald Isle. Obviously, Fred T and Louise would be with us; Mr Transit and PC Matt get to choose.

 

Sound good...?

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

Sounds horrendous, I like the bit about the scrapyards though.
