I've seen that posted before, but with more cars. I believe a planning application has been approved for housing.

Rotting cars in forest and this is how the owner likes them.He has left them to mother nature to rot.....a burial ground if you like.....michael frohlich expert classic car dealer and expert restorer prefers to call his forest of cars his sculpture park.......some are crashed into trees,buried in mud and one even parked next to a piece of the berlin wall..........................The cars are located in the neander valley near mettman germany and all the cars are supposedly from the year 1950.....the year he was born.and the cars were placed ther in roadworthy condition
























:hgf: as he reached 50 years of age the number of cars also increased to 50 and i believe this is just a private collection and not a theme park :hgf:
and closer to home.....heres a rotting relic we towed out of our works unit after being used for engine component storage for the last 30 years....its a aec panarama....once owned by the burmah oil company

weve all seen rotting abandoned cars............some you want to own because theres good spares on them,some just need a lift to the nearest smelters and others well look at these.............there abandoned cars by fleeing expats..............there the higher class cars,the ones owned by the filthy rich.......They were owned by brits living a millionaire lifestyle in dubai.........But nowjust powerful images of how the worldwide economic crash has left even the rich ruined.
These high performance cars have just been left abandoned on airport carparks and around dubai itself.......ferraris and others with the keys still in the ignition
Because of the strict debt laws in dubai many fled to the airports fearing a jail sentance.

HONDA NSX WORTH £75,000

JAGUAR XJ220 WORTH £200,000

yes weve moved forward health and safety wise....but other countries are still back in those days.......a documentry i watched on a indian railway where the steam trains there were made in lancashire and left by the british army .............the indian people had women mechanics repairing them........one woman i saw was using a angle grinder with no eye protection and the woman standing next to her was showerd in sparks and never moved a inch..........................interesting is how scrap vehicles are dumped in the ocean.........look at americas aproach at eco friendly subway car dumping.. :-?
