Welsh car graveyard/mancave

A few years back there used to be a local lad driving one of these about...is it the 2b?

I would like one..just need to persuade the Mrs they are economical...and that we need one.

Yes it's a 2b & they are very economic, almost zero emisions, easily serviced & as they will all be over 40years old, both tax & MOT free; a weight lifter would have no problem changing gear & keeping it going in the right general direction, I can't understand why every home in the country doesn't have one.

Love that vid of the 2b motorhome with ac/dc...tnt background music as in my world ac/dc and landrovers are electrifying.

Thats the ONLY motorhome I have ever wanted to own :lol:

I said that once; however as I write this, sat comfortably in a wood, on a site in Yorkshire I've changed my mind. This is an easy stop over for a few days, summer months away might easily see us wild camped on Unst - - - - - - - or anywhere in the UK.

DAVID WROTE:
Incidentally the Lake District has a smaller version of this car dump. A place called Hodge Close Quarry just west of Coniston Water..[/quote]
Here is hodge close quarry that David has dived....not for the faint hearted I heard.



And here's one of the cars at the bottom of hodge close..1 careful owner



And here's 2 images that show the hodge close skull...the first image is the rock face and it's reflection...the 2 image is the same picture turned 90 degrees showing the hodge close skull






Image of 1 of the push bikes that met it's doom..I wonder if someone actually rode that bike off the cliff...I know they are daft enough.





The reason I know they are daft enough to jump into the dangerous waters of hodge close is because here is a vid of jumpers at the quarry

I think hodge close quarry deserves the man cave award...check out these folk that get there frills from jumping hodge close on a rope swing...you have got to realize if you were actually there..that takes some guts to get on that rope.

No I couldn't stand close to the edge at hodge close...below more images under the water...vauxhall cavalier anyone?

Some great pics there! Ah happy memories.

It was quite an epic experience even before you got in the water, as you kitted up in the carpark and got into the quarry via a long tunnel opening into a large cavern on the side of the main quarry. Then it was a 'simple matter' of scrambling down a slope of rocks to get to the water!

Imagine that in full scuba gear, air cylinder on back, carrying your fins in one hand!

A more telling question would be : at what age did you buy your MG?

midlife crisis? Thinning hair? etc... hmmmm.....

I got my first MG at 35, 18 years later and still with a full head of blonde hair I've constantly had at least one every since.
And I had several sporty cars over the years since I was 19.

My profile pic was taken 3 years ago.
