I'd be getting in contact with the local council to offer to recover and dispose of them .... have you seen the price of scrap lately?

DO NOT move the cars yourself, as they are more than likley stolen you could be done for handling stolen goods!! Also you could be done for not having a waste handling licence. Also theres a lot of harmful stuff left in burntout cars.

Looking at your ground clearance, you could always flatten them down and use them as bridges  :lol:

Yeah but i wanna drive through things not go over bridges. lol

The previous owner cut out 1 rear arch to allow the 33" tyres but it dont need it so it now looks pretty stupid !!!!

I think you, and a couple of mates, should get the council, your local MP, police and scrap dealer plus the local papers involved. Take the wrecks out for free and get a story printed about caring 4x4 drivers clearing the green lanes of harmful rubbish - who'll do it if we get banned from using the lanes.

Ideal publicity stunt there mate :wink:

Make a club thing about it. Find a scrappy that will take em. I'm sure we can find a flatbed or get the scrappy to provide one. get papers and local news in on it too.

Valid point about the cars themselves though, gloves and masks, some nasty stuff in burnt out cars. Nothing that being sensible wouldnt solve though.

Badger your area rep about it, I'd probobly be up for the trip to help :)
