    (sorry for my bad english)
    surprisingly all of the cars still run with almost no problems.
    most electronics work and most of them are easy to fix.
    the taxi grand marshel wont be scraped but will be heavily moddified to be a exelent offroader and i plan to have a little roadtrip with it

    This 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo that was abandoned near a warehouse
    not a lot of 850's were offered in "James May Green", so this one was kinda special
    Nobody knows the reason to why it was abandoned.

    This 2004 Dacia Logan was owned by a happy Polish man
    In 2013 he passed away in a train crash and the car was given to his son
    The son already had a car, so he decided to give it to the junkyard and get some quick cash
    Today the car sits in this Polish junkyard collecting dust and rusting away. abandoned10.png

    This 1993 Ibishu Covet was abandoned in Malmö, Sweden at the airport of Malmö.

    A man who was inspecting the car found the car's keys in wheel, and managed to turn it on after giving in some unleaded.

    Used by an old grandpa who was younger back in the day, now it's some rusted junk sitting in the back of a farm-house.

    1999 IBISHU PESSIMA LX V6 SPORT
    The vehicle was bought after an accident when it was just 3 years old in 2002. After hitting a lamp post the vehicle was left infront of the owners apartment and had not moved for 6 months.

    this 1954 Burnside Special was abandoned in the late 60s because the 3-speed automatic transmission broke
    a surprisingly common issue with these Burnsides is that the transmission would break at 70,000 miles
    sadly, the owner stripped it and the 313 CUI engine was yanked out along with many other parts

    UPDATE: the car was taken to the scrapyard and was scrapped, this is what's left of it

    Firwood Residents Find Van Linked to Australian Woman Missing Since 2018

    Maine State Police have located a vehicle connected to the 2018 disappearance of a 29-year-old woman on Friday, potentially bringing an end to the cold case, and are asking the public for additional information about her whereabouts.

    Danielle Simmons, an Australian national from Bendigo, Vic., left the residence of Jacob Carter in Riverside, California on June 21, 2018. According to a report, Carter told officers he allowed Ms. Simmons, who he met in Melbourne on a 2015 trip to Australia and considered a friend, to borrow his van during her visit for a "cross-country summer road trip," from which she had promised to return in "mid-September." Ms. Simmons was driving a 2006 green Gavril H35 with California license plate 7T51235.

    Carter reported her missing on September 24, when she did not return within the promised timeframe. The van was subsequently reported stolen to both Riverside Police and the National Insurance Crime Bureau. She and the van were never found, and the case eventually went cold.

    In May 2019, patrons at a Turbo Burger in Midvale, Utah observed a woman, described to be in her late-twenties to early-thirties, entering the restaurant and meeting with an unknown male. The woman was said to have an Australian accent and was seen leaving with the male in a green Gavril van with faded paint, prompting officials to reopen the investigation. However, subsequent attempts to locate Ms. Simmons, the van, and her alleged male companion were unsuccessful. The investigation was called off again until officials reopened it this year.

    On December 10, Maine State Police were called to a residential area in Firwood after residents heard what appeared to be a diesel-powered vehicle pulling up and parking in an adjacent wooded area, followed by the sounds of doors opening and human footsteps. There, police located a 2006 green Gavril H35 with its rear doors open, keys in the ignition, and devoid of belongings besides a mattress and a GPS navigator. Police verified the vehicle's California license plate and vehicle identification number, confirming that it belonged to Jacob Carter.

    Ms. Simmons is described as being white, 5'4", having a slim build, hazel eyes and blonde hair. She was last seen wearing a white tank top, blue jean shorts and cork sandals, Carter said; the woman seen in Utah was described by witnesses to have similar characteristics and was wearing a grey sweatshirt with a pink graphic, black sweatpants, and sneakers. A separate investigation has been opened to locate and identify the male allegedly seen with Ms. Simmons. Police added that the van is now in their custody and will be returned to Jacob Carter after DNA samples are collected.

    Anyone who sees Danielle Simmons, or was in the Firwood area and has information, is asked to contact Maine State Police or call 9-1-1.

    This 1985 ETK A-Series was found in Birmingham next to some old Ibishu's.

    The story is that the car crashed minorly in a rally, the owner abandoned it after it was taken out the ditch, and was later abandoned in a field, a guy later took the abandoned the car, and then left it here, he forgot about it and never got back to them.

    It was very beat up, the rear springs are missing, it has old ETK rims and also has missing parts.

    I found an old FPS Trapez in an abandoned parking garage near the old resort, and when I cranked it, it started right up! Nobody had seen the car before, so I suspect it was part of a recent insurance fraud or something. I'm currently restoring it.

    This 1996 ETK K-Series Base Model was sitting in next to the dirt trail behind the gas station on East Coast from 2013 to 2019.
    It sat in an insurance lot for a year from 2011 to 2012, because it was involved in a crash ripping apart the left front section. In late 2012 it was bought by a man, who hastily dangled out the dents of the frame, fitted offroad tires and removed the airbag (which wasn't triggered in the crash), to make it a dirt trial racer. It did very well, however in 2013 it was sold, because the owner had financial issues, because he crashed in his Trackday ETK A and needed every penny he could get to pay the hospital. The new owner was a rich kid, not caring about anything and having driving skills like a inflated mat. On the NodeOline Trial Race, leading from the Gas Station to the lumberyard, he lost control in a corner and hit a tree, sending the car into where it was until 2019. He just abandoned the broken ETK, mainly because the engine broke in the crash. Over the close to 6 years, the car was vandalized by a teen group which dented the ETK and... jumped on it. In 2019 they told their other friends about the car, which, after damaging a bit more... lit it on fire. The image below is from early 2018, taken by a rally driver who spun out and got stuck. upload_2022-2-2_14-23-36.png
    After it was lit on fire, people took notice after a few hours from the smoke. When firefighters finally arrived, the ETK was already burnt out. It was taken to a scrapyard, where the empty, burnt frame still lays around today in the back of the yard.

    This Bruckell LeGran Base Model with Fire Chief Livery was abandoned in 2015,on the East Coast Lumbermill, alongside a T-Series Fire Truck and another full-spec fire chief. A teenager thought it would be funny to call the firefighters to the lumbermill, even tho nothing was there. The 2 Scout Vehicles (LeGrans) and a T-Series were at this point of the yard,
    upload_2022-2-2_15-21-21.png
    when a real emergency call came in. All Units were rushed to the countryside house next to Gem Classics. The two scout vehicles almost crashed, because there was a split between a lower way and going thru the building. The full-spec Scout avoided to the left, and went the lower way. The base one... popped its tire on the log, sending it sliding into the building. The firetruck wasn't able to brake and hit the LeGran in the driver side, killing the driver. The LeGran flipped on the lower way, then out of the site, right after the other LeGran passed, slightly scratching its roof. The firetruck tho went straight over the height difference and jumped on the other LeGran, squeezing it into a pancake. The Accident resulted in 3 deaths (drivers of the LeGrans and a passenger in a LeGran) and 30000$ of damage, 275k for the Firetruck alone.
    Pictures taken by the shocked fire truck driver:
    upload_2022-2-2_15-28-18.png
    upload_2022-2-2_15-28-36.png
    The firetruck was pulled out by a tractor. Sadly the water tank was punctured, making the firetruck unusable due to it flooding the fuel tank and destroying the engine. The lumbermill was
    already closed down, so the fire chief told the tractor driver to just leave the cars at the site, which he did. The fire truck was parked next to the front building, the LeGran was just thrown to the
    other LeGran and forgotten. The tractor driver actually took one hubcap of each LeGran home. They still hang on the wall of his garage.
    Since then the cars have heavily changed. The fire truck is badly stripped and damaged. Someone tried to steal the engine. The hurricane in 2020 pushed the firetruck on its side.

    Current plans are to recover the cars for the newly built Firwood Fire Museum, but a global pandemic slowed down the process of building the museum.

    This tow truck driver was called in late 2020 to recover a crashed Hirochi Sunburst that rushed down from the mountain road due to speeding.
    upload_2022-2-17_16-4-11.png

    But when he arrived, he saw something other than the Sunburst too.
    An abandoned Ibishu Wigeon. How it came down there was unknown, probably because the driver lost control, sled to the right on a dirt road nearby and rolled over.
    The accident reports book from Utah PD from 1992-1993 said:
    "Accident on July 2. 1992.
    Involved vehicle(s): 1982 Ibishu Wigeon LX
    Car state: Unknown
    Cause: Unknown, supposedly loss of control
    Further details:
    Type of crash was a rollover.
    Driver(s): Joey Miller, 22 years old, Son of Marcos Miller and Judy Stevens."
    The Wigeon showed signs of abuse, and according to Miller's Brother Mike he trial-raced the bone-stock Wigeon.
    upload_2022-2-17_17-2-32.png
    upload_2022-2-17_17-3-3.png
    The Wigeon was recovered on January 22. by Fred's Tow Truck Corporation. On March 9. it was auctioned off at an online auction from Canyon Auto, which bought the Wigeon from
    Miller. Wigeons got rarer and rarer in the 2000s, thats why the damaged vehicle sold for 7500$ to a well-known car enthusiast and rich boi from West Coast.
    Because of legal issues the Wigeon sat at Canyon Auto for roughly a year, until it finally could be transported to the West Coast on February 12. (2022). The buyer already received the classic
    and is currently restoring it.

    This Ibishu Prodigy Sand Express was repainted in 2004, and abandoned here in 2007.
    It is still mostly complete, wind and weather have damaged it a bit tho.
    It is very well able to be repaired, and the Sand Express is really really rare.

    The Prodigy was picked up a few weeks ago and is currently flown out to Ibishu Japan to get a full restauration.

    A 1988 Gavril Mione that was Joe Gaine's who's from maine faked his death in 2004. We guess he somehow made his way to California. where it was crashed. It's believed that he survived and escaped. It was seen by a 5 year old and the mom saw and pulled over and called 911. It has been striped. They are currently trying to get it out of there.
