My mate recovered this a couple of weeks ago, Can you guess what it was yet?
Its not a ford, but it was crashed and caught fire, that was what was left of it!
PS the bike wasn't involved, just picked up the same time.

OMG at some of these
Been trying to find the pics of when a BMW (don’t you just hate them) lost it and went head on into my concourse GTE and a truck and an escort and broke my collarbone. (Back off truck nearly truck his head off) but seems I lost them.
This topic = why I am fitting a cage to my car

Enough carnage, here is a get out of jail free story.
I was riding my GPZ 600R kawasaki over the crest of a hill at around 150km/hr... and right on the other side was literally a 2500 head mob of sheep, wall to wall woolies.
I did a quick calculation in my head and worked out that my stopping distance was midway through the mob and a giant F#####ck rang clearly in my helmet...
I hit the skids rock hard and braced for impact... hoping my moto cross skills would save me...
Went into the mob at around 80+kph...
If you think about it the front of the bike is fully comrpessed and I and the bike were rigid...
As a result the sheep which were standing with little legs and the rigid bike /rider is like a big snow plow in heavy snow... The front of the bike was flipping them over me... on each side of the fairing (GPZs have a full fairing) . A few went over the top...
I slowed to about 20kph after about forty or more sheep...then one actually ducked down and front wheel started to lift and flip over, enter my second amazing feat...
I reacted and in one olympic gymnastic motion I propelled myself off the bike (which then slid to the side the road on the sheep as it lost weight..) and landed squarely on the back of thick wooly sheep (sitting on it, backwards) which ran along a bit before dumping me..
Total damage was a bent lever and a scratch to reflector on fairing and my blinkers were ripped out of the fairing by the sheep as they went past.... I still have the bike and pics of the blinkers plastic welded back in... I lost a mirror to not sure if the sheep did that.
The stockman with the sheep was shrieking thats the most amazing thing he had ever seen..... I was just amazed that I came out without a scratch....
The owner would not cover any costs or even apologize for not having signs but he got his own as the sheep were going the abattoir down the road and I heard that he got docked for bruised sheep on about fourty of them.
So every so often you come out on top

The more turbos,more fun!
How my first car used to look:
And this is what happens when you lose the backend at 50mph on a wet country road, go sideways, bounce off a dry stone wall and end up facing the wrong way in the middle of the road.

Yep 
Also crashed the nova sr.
The nova out at combe for eurofest:
Then 6 hours later, i had drove 168miles out of my 170mile journey home, edging out of a junction to go left on a two lane road, car in the 1st lane stopped to allow me to go, so i edged out and a fiat sincento took my front end of at about 45-50mph in a 30 zone.
The result:
