I don't think anyone lives in the house? I drive past it most days.

This reminds me of Feltham, I remember going past a wildlife area on the Reading to Waterloo runs on the left side there was a field that every day had more and more cars dumped and burned out.

It really makes me sad to think that people let this sort of thing happen.

There is a guy that lives in the next village from me who has 2 3door mk1 escorts in his back garden just rotting away, but he wont sell them. One of these guys whos been saying "i'll restore them one day" for the last 10 years.

I just wondering how is possible that so many cars just laying and rotten in middle of forest or even partly in lake?
Is this british enviroment politics


Here in Finland all cars which are just laying would be towed and smashed into cube.

AJC have you personally found these cars? Has anyone actually rescued any? I'd love to find an RS1600i on a farm and rescue it.
