    Hey people, I have an 94D escort it is a real mess. I want to get shot of it. It has grass growing out of the body but the engine is good and the tyres are brand new. One of the doors is bent from the 10 times some one tried to take it. Where can I dump it for free. Legally ofcourse.

    Leave it with the doors open and the key in it - well you did say it had been tried 10 times. :D

    Contact your local authority - they will tell you how best to dispose of it.

    Years ago, if you removed the registration plates, the local authority would remove the vehicle if it was in a public place as they considered it to be litter.

    buy and sell freebies, ebay no reserve starting at 1 euro
    i notice on ebay if you spend enough time describing your car as a total sh1tbox, people bid on it for some strange reason
    more of a uk fashion though

    Brilliant idea. Why not just steal from their till while you are there? And dump your bins on their doorstep because those bin charges are just a rip off anyhow!
    :rolleyes:
