Burnt Van - Don't look
by pollag » Thu Feb 26, 2009 1:52 pm
I found this guys van while cycling along the canal near Brentford London yesterday. Really sad to look at it . Gearbox melted. Nothing can be used one or two parts. Stolen and crashed - notice the front. Was driven down a WALKING path I think to here they burnt it then later chucked it over. Sad to look at . Could not figure out any more info. Not nice to look at

The sign writing is quite distinctive, someone will recognise it.
