This has been around for a while, it might even be at the front of this thread, watching that paint dry has fried my brain, still worth a laugh though:
Breakdown truck & sod's law.

I can't remember why this thread is titled breakdown truck. I could look but it's more entertaining to leave it as it is and look at Rich's latest rusty finds

I just had a look at that historic first page. Rich had posted a Leboncoin link, Harvey then posted to say that the linky no worky, so then Rich posted a similar one stating that the vehicle in question was the "cutest little breakdown truck.." But nobody ever saw that first link so has there ever been a breakdown truck in this thread?
Sadly, life's far too short to check but who cares when we've had everything from old wireless sets ( ) through pillar drills, rusty Mazda Bongos (they always are, even when they look shiny the sills will be away) and obscure French microcars that are even cuter than Irish/German ones, to ugly great American farmers' trucks (one of these days I'll give in to that particular temptation..), classic caravans, adult toys various and British cars that were abandoned in France when they died and then left over there for the locals to sell for the price of a bucket of snails or some really smelly cheese. Or both, in the case of the desirable cars like Talbot Tagoras, Simca 1301s and Renaults 3,4,6,12 and Fuégo.

And I think that there was once a Peugeot 504 4x4 Break but when there are several thousand pages to comb through that car will probably be lost forever, so here comes another one, as Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album said in song:



Mmm, Dangel. WANT!

That Python Tune, in case anyone wondered..

Mmm, Dangel. WANT!

Want? You want? Seriously? Watching that paint dry has addled your brain. I have the perfect solution for you:

Ooh!
That C15 Camper is quite possibly the world's finest ever automobile. Seriously; what's not to like about something that can go anywhere and in which you can live when a spell of domestic disharmony strikes? OK, so the rear overhang could be shorter but what a brilliant wee thing, I'm in love with that.

Specially for our favourite older chap, a photo taken from the driver's seat of my daily Dolomite some years ago. This was the first Dacia Sandero I'd ever seen in the flesh. A car owned by someone who keeps a place in the village to use when they're not at their main home in the city, they only held on to this little beauty for a year then bought something called an Opel Insignia, whatever that is?






I reckon that in the f***y magnet stakes, it would be a very close call between that and an early 20th century MG..

I think it's Bulgarian, the owner certainly is. But anything is possible as all sorts of things find their way up the beach at dead of night!
