[RocZX]

^
That 2002 turbo reminds me of one that was next to auto mechanic shop and it was in better condition then that one. It just sat there rotting, it was not for sale(I asked a few times) and the guy never did anything to it, till a few years ago it was not there any more and I never seen it again.

Yes! Awesome post, and awesome that you signed up in this place just to share. Many thanks. I've posted pictures of the "hoarder's house" a few pages back, wtf with that place!!! Would you happen to know more about it, you know, since you've been there and stuff?

cheers dude
it was really creepy there i never went inside the house it just felt wrong
from what i heard an old couple lived there one died and one lived alone
until they died.
then it was just left
such a shame to see someone memories just left to rot

 

[Cano]

So the property was just abandoned after they died? That's freaking creepy, indeed. But still, thanks a lot for sharing, when I found the pics the other day I was for sure intrigued.

Moar:

The box in front of it contains engine parts.

I posted links to your threads on 28 Days Later a few pages back. Love looking on that site. Good job 👍

It's so far gone, it's hard to tell. Maybe Cano and his freakish knowledge of cars will be able to figure out, what it is/was.

NO EFFING WAY

more info!!! :0

heck, it's hard to tell. British cars aren't my forte. I'd saaaay it's a Bristol, but I might be waaaaaaaaay off. Awesome, still.

 

[Dennisch]

I was thinking Bristol too.

Would a wrecked Lexus IS-F sitting in someone's backyard count? (Well, it's actually in the backyard of an auto collision specialist that my parents know, behind his shop which is basically a part of his house.) If I'm able to somehow, I might try and get some pictures of it.

 

[Downhill Dino]

That would count. I'm quite interested in how wrecked it is. No spoilers! Do you know how long it's been sitting there?

 

[Antonisbob]

Here's an article on it;

& A few more photo's for those people too lazy/uninterested in the article itself.

 

[Cano]

Wow, amazing stuff. Let's hope the guy will at least take some pictures if he ever unloads all the stuff he's got in there.

 

[Spacegoat]

Great stuff, I would really love to see what else he's got hidden in there.

Thanks for the link Antonisbob. 👍

I found this while looking at ilford's pictures:

Not exactly sure, but I've heard the story that it was some "kid" driving it at high speeds and crashed it into the marsh. I had some pictures on my brother's cell phone, but he can't transfer them onto his computer.

This was actually posted by Hun200kmh in another thread, but when I saw this topic I felt it should be posted in here too.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

2 days and no new pic's oh well check back later.👍

[Crumpet]

This one I can understand why...

 

[sar593]

A couple of abandoned cars at the parking lot of Bogota's airport. The pictures are not mine by the way.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Could I get the story behind this one? And what it exactly is? That's an odd body kit for a Porsche so I'm quite curious.

Here the back.

It did not have any info about where I found it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/king-german-fool/6009013913/
There was an comment that saying it was a homemade Gemballa.
Other then that I have no clue on what it is.

 

[Downhill Dino]

That deserves some recognition in the questionable modifications thread too. Thanks for the info you managed to find. 👍

VERY INTERESTING!!! It's amazing how those can be in an airport's parking lot, how could the authorities leave them in such a place for so long? I know Latin american authorities and how lax they are, I'm from Mexico for God's sake, but that is still an amazing find. A 1955 Pontiac, but the blue euro car I do not recognize. Do you know what it is?

Also, that home-kitter Porsche is awesome!!!! I'd rock it just like it is haha; the Porsche cemnetery on the other hand, is way sad.
