Default Indian wreckers

Perhaps not what you were expecting from the title of this post, but I found this pic interesting, and so would you if you were looking for a part to repair your Hindustan Ambassador (Morris Oxford).

This was taken in Bangalore...

Note the tools they use for vehicle dismemberment, the good old cold chisel and hammer... looks like a hacksaw comes in handy too.

Come to think of it, I once used exactly that method to dispose of an old Hillman Minx!

Default Analysis of Indian Wreckers Photograph

Hi Keefy

This photograph reveals a treasure trove of artifacts. I have been able to sight the following;
* tarp for a White Scout Car,
* wiring loom for an F15A,
* three track pins for an LP2 Carrier,
* an exhaust assembly for a 1939 Marmon Herrington GT,
* and standing behind the hull of one of the missing 3" Mortar Carriers is Elvos Presley.

Bob

Default Elvos Presley

And before somebody says I spelt it wrong, Elvos Presley was a third cousin removed of Elvis sired by Carmelina and Roderigo Presley of Peru. As we all know Elvis actually lives in Eltham, Victoria, Australia.
