Hmmm Wonder if their seats squeak??

Oooooooohh, bet that hurt!!

P.s. If you can buy parts of them direct, anyone who wants clear white lights & can't get them could get a pair off that blue MCS. - Just an idea.

paa100 · Nov 6th, 2003, 02:46 PM

Wow! What a tough car. notice how all of the windows are intact and there is little distortion of teh passenger cell !!!!!!

ontheroadagain · Nov 6th, 2003, 02:48 PM

Seems kind of sacrilgeous showing them all like that.

Years ago I lived waaaaay out in the country in rural Southeastern Ohio and whenever I drove to town I had to pass one of these elephant's grave yard type of dead car places...always made me a little uncomfortable.

Though, I can see why you all would like it for the parts aspect.

ruthie · Nov 6th, 2003, 02:48 PM

Ouchy!

Speedd · Nov 6th, 2003, 02:49 PM

Wow...

But i've seen one in person

Martin L · Nov 6th, 2003, 03:06 PM

Thought that was my old MCS for a minute

Very similar damage.
On closer inspection though my roof wasn't as bad but my front quarter was far worse.
Obviously somebodies had the s-spokes away and replaced them with cheaper 15s

mad brummie · Nov 6th, 2003, 03:08 PM

I thought it could have been a Russ Swift car, as he uses 15'' wheels on a MCS for his stunts????

Bonjour · Nov 6th, 2003, 03:34 PM

Wonder if they get many in with the Harman Kardon.

SoggyCornFlakes · Nov 6th, 2003, 05:28 PM

I had to look twice as well Martin

Wonder if it's worth a bid, even the clear lights at a £1 would be a bargain - do you have to take the whole motor though

I had to have a 2nd look too!

mad brummie · Nov 6th, 2003, 05:34 PM

dunno its proably better built than Martin, Washy and Sham's cars!!!!

Nice to see your cars are being sorted slowly!!!

MiniMinor · Nov 6th, 2003, 05:50 PM

Oh dear.

Poor MINI.

shiredweller · Nov 6th, 2003, 05:56 PM

Oh the huMINIty

scooperman_uk · Nov 6th, 2003, 07:18 PM

salvage for £1... dunno if u have to take the whole car.. but then its gonna be a better bargain than the one for 6k on ebay..

stryder · Nov 6th, 2003, 07:26 PM

Its surprising it took this long for someone to start collecting and salvaging them, or at least publically enough we noticed.

I'm surprised we haven't seen any such dismantlers in the US yet myself, or maybe they're hiding, which can't be good for business anyway.

Bonjour · Nov 6th, 2003, 07:30 PM

I've dropped the guy a line. He's keeping his eyes out for a few bits for me, like a Harman Kardon and a CD changer.

N31L · Nov 6th, 2003, 07:48 PM

It's been a bad night over halloween then!
Thats enough to make a fully grown kid cry
