Love the warning.

WARNING:

Some of these images might be disturbing. Perhaps it's best to view them with a sad-sounding Sarah McLachlan ballad playing in the background.

Pretty much.

Just the instrument cluster from the Lancia Stratos would be worth a bit!

That seat looks pretty safe! Looks like the ones from the cafeteria in grade school but without the legs.

av-943.gif It'd be even funnier if you showed up wearing a matching brown and yellow racing jacket or helmet.

Looks like most any garage with old English cars...

As for all the cars in this link, they had a very hard fall from glory - bummer.

The stratos/dog house is one thing. But an 037!

My heart aches.

Purple one is a fiat isn't it?

TR4's

Those cars are scattered all over the world and many of the pictures are very old - the one with the Formulas cars on top of each was over near Orlando after the Hurricanes of 2004. The Peugeot is not abandoned, but the picture is staged to look that way

Where second place cars end up.
Great comment.

You never know what's going to be left behind, I was digging out a whole mess of 356's and stumbled on this.
