Phew! The house is cleaned up, no spare parts markets and the weather too bad (although summer only 20 degrees and rain) to visit classic car meetings, so there is a bit time to start with a classy winter-evening-work: uploading pics.

Already announced since a time, but deterred by just the mass of motifs, now I'll start with pics from 1999 of the -in the junk yard lovers scene legendary- http://www.carlovanlingen.be/
All the cars/wrecks don't exist any more. Caused by EU-laws (and aggressive local environment-politicians all the 3000 classic were crushed after 2000/2001.
I'd been there in 1999 and could make some pics (only 36, it was the time of analogue photography). Shortly before my fellow Martin, the "tinhunter" had been there, and had made -only ;( - 864 pics (he had 24 film-rolls with him).

Here a little "best of" of Martin's pic (finally he reached to digitalize them). Although I'm not sure about the "best of". I remember more unbelievable glimpses, for example the bunch of FN-trucks from the Belgian Army, a NSU RO 80, a 1965 Ford Mustang and many more.

Anyways, here a brief summary of one of the most legendary continental European junk yard:


btw.: all cars had been only from the area around, nothing from far away. The owner and its father just didn't crush them.











































































































































































































































































Sorry folks, that's just all No other Vanlingen-files on this CD. I must ask Martin, if he has more. I'm missing several cars...
