dude, d'ya remember that pit we had in our garage when I had that flat under Ducky? THAT was skank ;D yours is nothing. I had to get into ours when it was full of curse word. In fact it was so full of skank I still had to bend down under my car  I had to use it to get the exhaust back on my mini several times. Until we covered it up by bashing that metro sideways into the garage ;D ;D ;D were you there that day? Thats the bestest fun I've ever had ;D ;D ;D |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

To my endless, endless annoyance I never once took a picture of the tank It was quite a machine. It couldnt go up hills with a low tank though, cos the petrol tank was an oil drum and all the petrol went to one side and starved it had to turn around and roll back down hills a couple of times. ;D It made short work of that metro, dragging it out with 4 seized wheels, then pummelling it sideways into the garage. Did you see the aftermath? We managed to crush it sideways into the back wall so it was half its width. And not a scratch on the tank I had to keep squishing it further back so I could still get the mini into the garage. Before I realised it was a 1275 metty and would have been good for parts for my mini  in summary, get down the pit you jessie ;D |

Dude, it was pretty bad. The engine could have been had for a mini owner but the rest was pretty rusty from what I remember. Do you wanna see if its there on sunday before the meet?  would be sweet, seen as I don't really know where I'm going, can convoy over to the brighouse? Vic - tis a cool story I used to have a range rover that had been stripped, bob tailed pick up stylee, and big roll cage, huge wheels, lifted suspension, etc etc. It was stuck on all 4 wheels diff lock and had holes everywhere but it was a sweet ride picture 2 garages next to each other, outside my old flat. One had a rusty metro in in that was knacked, that we wanted out so the guy upstairs could get his cortina project in there (Rean - how is that going by the way? and how is he?) So we hooked it up and dragged it out (bear in mind 4 seized brakes and flat tyres so dead weight ) then bashed it across and into position, side on across the front of the garage next to it, then just kept driving up the street and straight into it until it went into the single garage, sideways then we just kept mullering it until eventually it was squished sideways down at the back of the garage, so squidged we could still use the garage lol theres no way it would come out without cutting it up and taking it out piece by piece. So really it should still be there ;D |

That pits not that bad! My grandads one we had to pump the water out every time we wanted to use it (it filled up as it rained) and pull the dead rats out first while you could still reach them floating on the top. They are oh so useful. I suppose retro fitting one to a garage would be pretty hard right? LOL |

The lazy approach would be to pour cement over the rubbish and level it off  |

I once drove my mates lowered astra over his pit while he was in it so he could put a new exhaust on. I curse word off home afterwards only to get a phonecall 3 hours later to come and let him out as he was trapped inside. He's also arachnaphobic and when I move the car he was crouched in a corner with a 2 foot breaker bar wacking at anything on the walls that moved lol.
