    Taken in '97, the day an IRA bomb expolded a mile or so from our house. They had targetted the London rail line, but luckily it went off at the wrong time, caused little damage and no injuries. I missed the sound of the bomb going off because I was in bed hungover (ahem!) Having little idea of what I should be photographing and where, this Police incident camp seemed like a good starting point. Luckily I also captured this rather nice Mk2 Astra SXi...


    and these rusty astras!

    Something like this ......











    I just right clicked image in flicker chose original image size then once it pops up right click the image and save image URL then paste it here as a IMG link

    May not be the right way but it is one way

            Looking at the theme of all the pictures it does make you wonder if they were all taken by SOCO (scene Of Crime Officer) as they all appear to be observing police or a SOC

            lol

                No offence but that should be added to the burn't out pile ... hideous or what ! How could they be aloud to do that to a Mk3 shell ? ... I suppose that bumper gives you a workbench to use while you were fixing it .. room to store a full tool-set on that thing!

                        There still build on a astra mk2 shell.

                        I like the daewoo a couple of little mods to the shell and you have a galvanized astra mk2 THINK ABOUT IF.
