What have they dredged up today...

[dobbslc]

I was working down at the docks today in Silvertown east London and they were pulling up old dumped cars. All are treated as a crime scene due to the fact that "no one dumps a car in an old Victorian dock just for fun"





The final tally for the day, apparently there's four more down there plus two unexploded WW2 bombs!

Now we know why @slim_boy_fat is suddenly driving a Lexus. Any of Scot’s missing ?

 

[Wildefalcon]

6 series, East end? a crime scene? I'd say so.

7 series, surely - looks like a four-door to me.

If they find a transit with a load of gold bars, then a few of our Hong Kong friends lost it in late 1983

Ship them "eastwards" and they will soon be runners again.

We used to run motorbikes over the edge of an old quarry "for fun" ! Then climb down to see what state they were in .

The bombs are interesting though. What size I wonder ? I would have thought they would have penetrated the dock lining

Probably about another dozen land rovers that are now mush

Nope, they were flogged off on e-bay as "Barn Finds".

Hi, No, the water would have absorbed all their energy.
