The dredger that's currently working in the harbour picked up something unusual yesterday....

You can't make out what it is by looking at it from there, but, its actually an old Vauxhall (The trims are still there), how long its been in there for, nobody knows! But years ago, back in the 80's, Fleetwood didn't have any rails around the harbour, but whatever happened, its certainly a wreck now anyway!

This is the dredger working in the harbour at the minute, that picked up this odd find:

Thought you may be interested!

Jack.

Bank Thief? Terry when he's high on Marmite?

Is that where I left it? I knew it was somewhere where the windscreen wipers couldn't cope.

I'll pick it up later and drive it back home.

A Topic of mine last summer,

Quote from: llamalord on August 14, 2008, 05:08:57

It seems like all truely good boating stories come from the ramp, I got just about the best one today.

In the small hours of the morning my boat and SUV pulled in to the boat ramp parking lot. As soon as I rounded the corner I could see a mob of large trucks, police cars, and every other kind of road vehicle down near the water line. I got out of the truck to see what was going on at this boat ramp that I back my boat out of every week. Once I got to the ramp I could see that there were two extreemly large tow trucks sitting in the ramp. I talked to a police officer (Good Sence of humer) and when I asked him what was going on he replied "Well, we're tryn' to get them cars out from the bottom of the lake." I had no idea what the heck he was talking about so I looked porplexed. Officer-"We hav' to come on down here every month or so to see if there are any more cars, and sure enough we look and theres two or three. Chances are if you backed your boat out of here in the last two weeks or so you'll have almost hit one of the two cars that are in there now."

It turns out that the week before some one just drove their large SUV into the lake after being chased be the police. (They were pulled from the car alive.) They still have no idea where the other one came from. Some possible reasons the officer gave where; Presute, Insurance, junkers.

When I came back later around noon when they said they would be done I was told by the same officer that they had retrived the first car and when they tried to pull on the second one, They broke off the tire and half an axle. So they went working into the night and I never went boating.

Rofl, you wouldn't need 2 wreckers, you would really only need 1 rollback with a winch. A rotator would have been nice for this also, although the cars really were not heavy enough to bring in a 60 ton rotator.

One thing is for sure!!
He has a bit water in the carburator.

Ring, Ring....Ring, Ring.

Hello, is that the RAC?

Can you send someone to help me? My windscreen wipers don't work properly and there's water in the oil. I may need a tow back home.

Thanks.

See your chap shortly.

Shipaddict · « **Reply #12 on:** March 06, 2009, 23:38:14 »

Hi, this is the RAC.

Sure, we will send someone out straight away.

Unfortunately seeing as the vehicle is completely unoperational and is a few years old we have to charge you Â£999.99. See you shortly!

Mystery figure at docks

Published Date: 02 April 2008
By Julia Bennett
THE literary mastermind behind Sherlock Holmes was convinced Fleetwood Docks had its own resident ghost.
Sit Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about the "spirit figure" featured in this photo in an article entitled 'Dark-room Mysteries' in a Sunday newspaper in 1928.

He was adamant the ghost was "valid". maybe he parked the car

TerryRussell · « **Reply #16 on:** March 07, 2009, 10:19:42 »

I went up to Fletwood and collected the car.

Just got it back home on put it on Ebay.

Someone is already interested in buying it.

Maybe didn't have coins for the parking meter?
