	Know about some of your afflictions AK I do like them. I think Oldbus has a collection of them too. Maybe we can start a thread here sometime. alistairk said: love the filling station. I have a real fetish for these. I'm building up a collection of old or abandonned garages for posting.

	Theres one I remeber near Godalming, on the back road below Winkworth Arboretum at the bottom of the hill, some pumps in the hedge by an old house that was obviously a station at some point moons ago

	I'm afraid I haven't got the pics now, but does anyone know the dead petrol station and Renault dealer just south of Cardigan? I recall there was a big collection of Minors outside....

	Here's my Bug (pre spotlights and overriders) at an abandoned pump which used to be near where I live. Sadly, most of the garage building and the pump itself have subsequently been removed, with the remainder converted into a fencing/building supplies outlet.

	The local pub where I spend many Monday evenings used to be a petrol station way back when and the forecourt is still quite obvious, but no-one has any pictures of it in the day. Glad it's a pub now, it could've been a lot worse!!
