Cavette's cavalcade of crap *Scrapyard DS April 2K18*

[Spiny Norman]

Looks Polish to me.

 

D'oh....

 

When I looked earlier I was looking at EU plates and Polish EU plates are a different format but of course that one's from before Poland joined the EU....

'EL' Puts it in the Lodz region of Poland, according to t'internet.

[chaseracer]

FSO? Poland? Could be, I s'pose...

 

[hairnet]

so when you got home and you pressed delete on the polish you opened ebay to start finding....??????

[Cavcraft]

Quick and shite update. 

 

WILL DEFO PASS MOT 3,000 MILES WITH NO FLOOR NO WELDING NEEDED BARGAIN

 

 

 

Pretty early Mk3 Fiesta in what I reckon is defo the best colour 

 

[Lord Sterling]

Look at the tidemark on that  

[Micrashed]

A tidemark on 80's and early 90's Fords is mandatory.

All mind had them as a preventative measure rather than a postoperative measure

[Cavcraft]

You realise that means I actually have a real post-op Tranny don't you?

[Micrashed]

 

Pre -op Fester having a proctological rummaging by a Northern Fat Bastard

[Cavcraft]

HAHA UR NAYBUR AS A CRSA B

[Partridge]

Those Festers in blue used to be everywhere (with mandatory crusty front valence) and then seemed to vanish over night.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Maritime blue. 

[Rocket88]

"Maritime", as in "kept out at sea", then. Tidemark is, in fact, a plimsoll line.

[Buff McHugelarge]

What a cracking thread.

A real insight into life up north, deffinatley more shite per person than the south.

I do believe that's called a 'selfie' but I prefer to call it a 'TooSavvy.' 

 

YOLO etc.

[Jim Bergerac]

That Jensen is a bit of alright. One of those would be my money no object classic of choice.

EpicFail :-\  no TooSavvy would include a look of 'Gawd, dogs bit me gonads!' face

BARC, Oulton Park, today.

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

That 21 is astoundingy handsome.

 

Top photographing of cars there.

[Minimad5]

B*astard - How do you hear about these events !?
Good pictures btw

[Cavcraft]

Ellesmere Port, today. It’s in a yard that’s sort of part of a scrappy, but kept separate and often they have full transporters of 2000-ish era cars going out. Might be an export thing, ifanyone wants details let me know.

Going to the US?

[Cavcraft]

Honestly no idea, guessing they keep stuff separate from the main yard for some reason.

Lad who I work with goes to those Citroen 2cv events. His FIL is big into Citroens and has something to do with it I think.

 

IIRC the son of the lad I work with got given the winners rosette or something after the race that weekend, he's obsessed with it too. He even went to school on 'sporting heroes' day as his favourite 2cv racer. Everyone else was some mage famous footballer or something and he was a 2cv racer, which was cool.

[MorrisItalSLX]

Going to the US?

 

Doubt it, America's strict anti-immagration policy also applies to cars.

[cort16]

I thought once it was 25 years old you could import it to the us?

That's right. Some <25 year old cars seem to sneak through too, there's a Citroen C6 registered over there somehow.

Probably on a Defender chassis........
