Some brilliant finds like - such a good feelin when you find summat like that

Imagine how many other cars are locked away yet??? Even lock ups and garages everywhere there are bound to be a few surprises - wish I had the authority to go around checkin them

Thing that scares me is like that RS500 - if someone knows nothing apart from the fact its an old D reg Sierra - they'll not think twice about scrapping or crushing it
