MJK 24 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 On the M48, in the near side lane, I was confronted with the boot lid of a Citroen AX which a cycle rack and three pushbikes attached. The rear window had smashed and the painted part and just fallen off into the road. This was confirmed 1/4 of a mile further along where there was an AX minus its boot lid. In other news, I’ve seen a wheelbarrow before now. And a lot of individual work boots! bunglebus, DoctorRetro and UltraWomble 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyland Worldmaster Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 M2 circa 1998. A gearbox. My friend was driving his Metro and was quite surprised to see that on the way back home! 😅 bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy - Medhurst Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 A few months ago on the M5 I just missed hitting a roof box with the roof rack still attached. "Truckers Tizer" bottles seem to still be everywhere. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 I saw a really scary one today, a pair of checker plate steps in the middle of lane one on the M25. I zipped past in the outside lane, but it gave me chills thinking what would happen hitting that with your car, or worse it getting flicked up to windscreen height. Should I have called the police?

If you can remember where it is you still should, although the wombles are probably the better organisation to tell if that's possible as it will be them that have to go out and collect it. bunglebus and UltraWomble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherStu Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I pulled into a layby off the dual carriageway today. Just as I pulled off, I realised that ahead of me was some unknown fly tipping. Basically taking up the whole layby. I'll be honest, pulling out wasn't the easiest, even when you do have a car that does 0-60 in around 5.5 seconds.

sutty2006 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 High definition piss jugs are a common one. Even worse when you’re in a lay-by or services truck park trying to fix a wagon surrounded by piss, prophylactics (soiled) and needles is quite disturbing. Spotting brake pads in the central res is quite worrying. UltraWomble, goosey and bunglebus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a story behind that I once collected a Jeep front axle from nr Luton and bought it back to the other side of Birmingham on my Trailer. when I collected it there were 2 coil springs attached to the axle when I arrived back there was only 1 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago I was called out to fix a bust Hydraulic hose on an AA recovery wagon at Warwick services, half way through the job a Coach pulled up next to my van and about 20 blokes got out and started pissing up the side of the Coach, the stream of piss then flowed downhill under my van and then under the wagon I was working on 🤢 it did start raining though which helped wash the piss away somewhat cobblers, bunglebus, Leyland Worldmaster and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales blurb for bike racks always used to include "Not suitable for a Citroen AX" - because, of course, the bootlid is plastic. Obviously the owner of that one didn't/couldn't/wouldn't read!

Got to a truck in the truck park, early morning. Knocked on, said I’d be working under the grill at the front. Driver got out and started taking a piss up the front right wheel. Saw it trickling between my feet. Told the driver to FRO the dirty scumbag. goosey and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedracer Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 About 20 years ago I had a slightly damaged SIII L/R on the top deck of a transporter in Glasgow and took it to Halifax.

Well I remembered what you said, today there was a wheel in lane three of the M6 so called 101 and then 999 as it was taking too long. Someone else had just called it in anyway. I did also spot a red bonnet (car, not hat) tucked behind the armco on the same motorway heading North yesterday, bet there's a story behind that one! somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcyonecorporation Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Unspooled tapes. Not the central reservation, but I did get an old enamel sign for a garage out of a railway siding once. I think it was going to be used to brace a bit of fencing but I mugged it off instead. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
