I love pics of wrecks. To me, they are lifes sculptures.
A couple of pics I took that capture my interest in cars and my pride in this beautiful country we live in.

Another. This one of an early.
We stripped this car of panels before the farmer pushed it into his trash gully. Located near Mudgee NSW.

Here's a pic of a wreck that was taken by 'Pete Dobre' and used on a greeting card. Interestingly we were having dinner at the FE FC Nats in Adelaide when we spied this postcard in the gift shop that was attached. When it opened in the morning we were in there and scored a few.
Can anyone tell if it is an FE or an FC!!!

Alex.
I know exactly what you mean!! They are not just car wrecks, but each one has a history. Everyone was brand new at one stage, was used by the new owner & probably cherished. They have so many memories soaked into the metal, I would love to be able to read it all.
The colour of rust in the Australian country is perfectly suited to these shots. Earth & Rust. Similar.

The last ute. I reckon it is an FE. Look at the guards. The FC spears had bigger holes, that were further along towards the front of the guard.

          Thats not a bad Idea, just need another 7 picture. I would asume it would sell pretty well, how many forum members are there. Then just split the profits between the club branches.

I wonder how the guys who built these classic cars
would feel or say if they were to see them.  Cry

These guys built cars with so much pride,and at the end of the day owners just left  them to rust away.
