WTF is that last one?? 8 wheels?? Looks like somebody finished a scrapheap challenge motor then scrapped it...... Is it something to do with towing boats? I notice an RNLI logo. It was one of the vehicles that was used in that weak-ass Scrapheap Challenge wannabe program with Henry Rollins and that annoying bird. Filmed in the bollom of a cooling tower in an old power plant. I'm sad, I know. Chris am I even sadder for knowing it was named the ' octo-push'? |

 Lotus sunbeam alloys? No, Talbot Horizon 'Pullman' alloys...  ;D It should also have a funky 80's digital rev counter...  |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

Here's the best 'abandoned' find I located all year. Shame I couldn't get any closer to it, but it's still there, in a field on the southern outskirts of Launton, just outside Bicester.  Petrol-powered Bedford. |

Here's the second best. I'm happy to report that despite all the vegetation having been cleared from round it when this photo was taken, 9 months on it's still there. Beyond help though, by the looks of it.   |
