Mk2 cav cd wheel is it not? That poor leaf green one :(
With it being white I'd guess although it's the same type of wheel, I'd think mk1 Astra GTE :thumb:
I'd guess mk1 Astra GTE too. On a related note, there is no point in any other forum ever making an abandoned thread. Just link to RR. That one is all kinds of epic!

wtf so all those cars are his old runabouts that went slightly wrong? Amazing lol
here's my swing when we first got it 9 years ago, found lying in the middle of nowhere after the owner's had treid to get it going and gave up, at the time I did wonder what we had done! Please note the fantastic job they had done with the engine, wrong radiator with lovely pipes going over it. You can't see the other things like wrong starter wiring and so on....

Is that Blackborough House mate? interesting story on that place! Same with all of the scrappage cars at that airfield, people always break in and nick bits lol. Good account of the place on 28DL.
the scrapage scheme cars is criminal, i bet they all sit there until they rot away
Page 7 of the retro rides thread is the disused garage near national weekend
Anyone know if they're still there?
Anyone know if they're still there?
Is this the garage on the main road, with Maestro's, mk2 Astra's etc in locked cages? If so, yeah a lot are still there and are for sale still.
Liamp, i dont know the location on the hoarders house, its never been revealed in the public section as theyre against stuff being removed for any reason whatsoever, silly imo as theyre only going to go to waste or be weighed, but not my place to argue so i wont link as cars have already vanished from there!

Yes they are mine and the van is getting there just needs paint and cvs and a few bits bolting on and it's done, and the whole reason the van was bought was so I could do a full rebuild on the loon nothing much has happened with the loon other than it loosing it's engine and brakes to the van, once the van is done I will start on the loon keep getting tempted to start but know if I do I won't finish the van so it's just sat there the van will be done for national weekend, won't take long once it's painted.
