A Sad Sight
« on: July 23, 2007, 18:20:46 »


Saw the above on my way to work this morning on Fivefield Road between Kersley and Corley near Coventry. No idea how long it had been there because I have been off work due to an injury for 5 weeks however by having a look round it I would say that it was torched somewhere else and dumped there because there was no scorching of the surounding ground or trees.

Looked for VIN's but they had either been removed or the fire had obliterated them, all I can tell you for sure was it was a Disco 1 Non V8 on steel rims and a bad case of metal worm on the tailgate, What a sad end to what was once some one's pride and joy

why would anyone want a burnt disco roof? Surely it has no strength what so ever after being set on fire? Maybe that is why someone moved it to that location?
