Title: Car Graveyard...
Post by: TheRaven on 20 November 2011, 19:36
Me and a few friends went for a drive today, knowing that there were a few old rotten cars hidden in the grounds of an old hoarders house...  :laugh:

We got there after a full english and a few hours trying to find the bloody place! But we found it and lo and behold, it was amazing, some fantastic cars in god awful conditions.

Nature reclamation at her best...  :cry:

I obviously had my camera!

Enjoy!

Cheers, we had a whole day wandering round and inspecting them all, the house was cool too, still full of stuff from the 80's, I didn't really get any pics in the house though, too interested in the cars! :D

good pics, shame to see them go to waste though, most of them look like the only problem with them is that natures got to them after years of sitting in a wood.

Good photos.
You got them on Flickr ? You'd get more interest if you put them on Flickr and added them to several groups.

Where is this place, or is it a secret because you're not technically allowed in ?

Post by: TheRaven on 21 November 2011, 17:09
It's secret, plus people who do know where it is don't want people to go and wreck them, as you can see the windows and things haven't been smashed, it's really quiet and nice, we were there about 3 hours, the house is open and crammed with stuff from the 80's, apparently he was a hoarder!

Some cracking shots there. might be an idea to send these pictures to Practical Classics for their "Rust In Peace" section - they offer prizes etc for the best ones and you can ask them not to give details of where it is.

Friends of mine did exactly this and got themselves about £50 worth of stuff about 10 years ago  :smiley:

Great atmosphere fella, looks like a superb location. 

I'd forgot about the Renault 5 vertical radio !!!

The wife and I found a place like this when we went to Vegas to get married. Have to see if I can dig some pics out.

Good pics there, sad when you see the old classics like that. There is a piece of land near Storm Developments that has a load of rusted old cars and trucks too. Those old Citreons are wicked.

Post by: lewis1641 on 28 November 2011, 16:14
You mentioned a house that was open and full of 80's stuff, are you going back to take pictures inside ? 
Title: Re: Car Graveyard...
Post by: TheRaven on 28 November 2011, 18:47
Probably yes, although the way it is going there probably won't be anything left, if you Google 'hoarders house urbex' there is plenty of pic of inside the house, but most of the stuff from the pics have gone. :(
