I can see it looks like a cock, but I'm trying to figure out what it actually is.

Re abandoned vehicles - My new-ish neighbours got someone in to tidy up in their woodland. They found the remains of 2 vehicles and much crockery. :hmmm:

There wasn't much left of the vehicles apart from engine blocks but they may have been Moggy 1000 vans once upon a time.

They couldn't work out the dining services though.

(I put my Internet deerstalker on and found that years ago the house owners ran a catering/ events company).

Where I walk my twat-arse dog there's the rear subframe from a Mini (guessing) slap bang in the middle of a densely wooded area. How it got there, and why, has always been a bloody mystery to me.

That is a mystery. Mini subframes used to dissolve in the rain. :hmmm:

Pah. My first car at the tender age of 17 was a Fiat Panda. I've known ice cream wafers have more longevity when they get wet.

Is the one on the left Rick Astley ?

Through-flow ventilation was a big selling point.
