How you keep getting this stuff is amazing Al (and Aaran). Unbelieveable stuff!!

Any thoughts of posting them on 'talk and seeing if anyone there has contacts (military/contractors etc) in Iraq that could help out. Obviously trivial in the grand scheme of things, but perhaps they would welcome the distraction if you have specific locations?

Apparently this car was abandoned and someone had it crushed to get the reg offImage


Where do you keep finding these pictures? You have 'proof' that this car was crushed? Not that I don't believe you, but it wouldn't be the first car they discover somewhere in a shed in 30 years time thinking it was destroyed ...


Hi Andy,

I have a contact in Iraq as of yesterday, who knows the three cars where they were, and who took the pictures.

That car is categorically been crushed.

Do you fancy driving through Iraq to save these cars?!


I wish I have the money to do it, but it's not the case :mrgreen:

Thats a real shame. You would think Iraq has bigger problems than checking car registrations.
