Rab See Shite bits..Scotsful update The End The Save

[Lord Sterling]

heyo..this has all been squeezed down..so its facked..so ill start a new thread..so can the wonderful moderators please dump this in the scrap pile..cheers...RAB

 

I see what you mean Rab, half the photo disappears into the avatar panel. The management are creating a new colour scheme and I think there are going to be some changes so this thread is still fine. If you copy the photo and paste it into MS Paint for example the whole photo comes up.

 

Leave the photos where they are until the changes are made. Are your screen settings 800x600?

[HillmanImp]

If i look at work on IE they are squidged up but at home on the widescreen and goodle chrome they are fine, but i can still see enough of the photos on IE, no point spitting out your dummy. 80% is better then 0%?

[fotorabia]

im a photo fascist..but that sounds all good...ill leave em..

[fotorabia]

Imagine my east-west shock horror as i alighted the Islay ferry at Port Askaig upon sighting this ex -soviet cobbled together with ex-RAC tow truck..has Caledonian McBrainless been reduced to budget cuts..

[Richard]

Peat reek?

 

It's not something I've ever heard in Fife.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

what a bloody marvellous photo this is, I love it!!!

 

[M'coli]

Peatreek, peat reek - unlicensed home-distilled whisky!

[fotorabia]

i think ive drunk the Ukrainian version..Samagon..No need here..we re in spitting distance of the Kilchoman distillery..ive got 3 bottles of the stuff behind me right now..

and Thanks Bollox on photo comment..im gonna do an exhibition on abandoned shite and may well use that Merc image..

[barrett]

I'd reccomend the Ardbeg......

 

Nice shots Rab, something about pics of decaying shite that makes me want to visit the Scottish Isles... one day I guess

[fotorabia]

So my last day here on the gale swept isle..went and looked at the old WW2 sea defences..which didnt stop these small Germans and Italians hiding amongst the sheep..

for VW powered John..

 

 

 

[Split_Pin]

Great thread, I love the Scottish spots!

[fotorabia]

last wander around edinburgh..back in the highlands..have to go back to New Zealand now..

 

had a great time with my mate Andy and his Scimitar..

 

 

pure V6 SEX

 

our recently favourite Merc Luton for carrying small clocks around..

 

 

owned since new..hes got an eye on it..splendid and sad...

 

massive old derelict warehouses off Leith walk

 

 

 

 

i love Kombis in sad states..police van revamped into hippy scene tour bus..

 

 

pre 55 moggie which was rather rotten underneath..

 

this was about to be crushed..i think Andys saved it...

 

 

 

 

and the dying Audi...

What's with the crazy transit bodykit !!!!111!!!!1!

[Vin]

+1 on the transit bodykit.

 

The white capri is a long way from it's place of registration - Isle of Wight

 

That Saviem cab doesn't appear to have a roof. I wonder if there is an umbrella in the cab for those 'occasional' rainy days

 

I do love these Scottish pics.

[M'coli]

The snail trails in the algae on this are amazing, there should be some well-fed snails in the wheelarches!.

[Split_Pin]

 

Blimey, I forgot about those Transits. They were bought new in late 96/early 97 when I was in my last year at school. They were part of a fleet of them, owned by a Linlithgow taxi company. If I remember correctly, their numberplates were not local, baing something like 'P---GOF' or something. THey were bloody mad looking and I remember thinking thet they would look shit in a few year's time, but they actially lasted fairly well. Not seen one in years! Glad you snapped it!

[eddyramrod]

I used to drive one of those Mercs, with a flatbed on it. It was the first Mercedes I ever drove, and instrumental in forming my present low opinion of the marque. I really hope MLG 791Y isn't still murdering some poor driver's back.

 

Big applause for spotting that derelict warehouse for us though! It just needs a red Mk2 Granada sweeping in at high speed, Bodie and Doyle leaping out armed to the teeth (and Cowley hobbling after). Perfect.

 

What on earth are a Lotus and a Citroen XM doing in shots like these? I think it's so sad to see top-of-the-range tackle going mouldy, but I suppose anything can wind up in the hands of some young dreamer who doesn't know how to fix it, or simply hasn't got the cash when it's needed. I know, I've been that young dreamer often enough.

[VWPowered]

great pics rab, i love the look of abandonment, remember to please stay in touch, i used to have a 307 flatbed when i worked for ATS

[fotorabia]

well theres a Granada for sale in Acharacle still..i featured it earlier on this..ill hunt down the phone number and post it..and thanks to all the invites i received on this and sorry i wasnt able to take them all up..my non travelling budget has worked out at £7 per day..so hence why ive had to remain close to family nests..i might be going over to Skye before i leave so see what i can come up with...otherwise..its NZ bound..and back to create yet another new life..cheers dudes /dudettes

[fotorabia]

The wander around Edinburgh that revealed this Saab has ended in a result..Andys gonna rescue it and stash it down in Leith with the Scimitart..

so now just before i leave Bonnie Schrottland...i love convincing friends to save shite even when i cant..

[fotorabia]

and if someone could save this..2.3 on LPG..its in Acharacle..which is on the Ardnamurchan peninsula..A82 over the corran ferry..ex mechanic owner..hes ill..
