Ive found a cracker 
Ive been driving past it every time i go up my unit for years and at the weekend i seen the guy was outside trimming his hedge so i stopped for abit of a chin wag as you do lol and took these
Its been sat there since 1991 when the guys son bought a new car and forgot about his old escort
but as a result it has only done just shy of 27k miles from new and is a complete car apart from one of the trims that goes round the drivers side interior door pull which he said broke and the wheels are stored in the shed with the wheel nuts to stop the local pikey's wandering off with the car.

P.s im picking it up some time this week

Well we picked the scort up Thursday night and towed her home after being on the axle stands for 20 years all the breaks were free and she didnt even creak or anything when we lowered it down
And finally tucked away in the garage ready for its tidy up later in the year
The eagle eyed amongst you will spot the tailgate is not too green any more and thats the guy that sold it to us he reckoned he couldn't see it off all covered in moss so he got his bucket and sponge out.
Cheers mark.

Took a pic of this capri 2.8 inj tonight, been going past this car since i can 1st remember (parked on a drive on my grandparents road) the tax disc shows the tax ran out in 1990, my dad tells me about 15 years ago someone stole the wheels of it and the guy bought a new set just for it to stand and rot away, remember it looking quite good but now the elements have taken there toll on it.

It was just 2mins down from the fenced off area, but before the UN buffer zone.

That really is a fascinating area and I bet it harbours quite a few abandoned Fords! Rumours are that there is an abandoned dealership in the town centre and the cars were still in there
Obviously they will be in a bad way now but nothing like the cars left outside over here. I wish you could see inside the city though because it's fascinating, I'd love a nose around but I thought you couldn't get anywhere near it.
You did well getting out of Wycombe, it's a crap hole

I wanted to see it, had heard about it, so went for a trip over and was shocked at the size of it. Stood on the beach and it goes as far as you can see round the bay. Tower cranes huge hotels as far as you can see
Go on google earth some soldier or un guy has loaded up some inside the fence, it is mental such a waste we couldn't get our cameras out our near the fence our guide said we would be arrested. I will pm you my no if you want ? tell you what the guide told us.Ade
