Arrow Rover MG, Longbridge, 18/02/07

Sooo after many a thread on here, I got my thumb out and went for a look, only to end up at the Jaguar plant, the other end of Brum!! nutter!!

Anyway, after getting my bearings, I finally found Longbridge and was amazed by the size of it, and I think I have covered just a small amount of it.

<info removed>

I quickly darted into the driving entrance/exit and found myself being the only one in this eirey environment, a production line, lights, machinery, computers, still switched on, waiting...waiting.

I lost time in here, from 12pm-5.30pm gone so quickly.


Pictures...























This 'route' must of been when they showed the Chinese round to try and save Rover from going overseas.


This sports car had the keys in the ignition and is ready to drive home, soo tempting, but thats not why I am here.












This was the building I triggered the alarm, whoops!!






more in the next post...

Right, at this point it was 4.30pm and I was up for going home, while walking back I saw some steps going up towards the inside of the roof, so I thought fuck it and went up.

To my supprise I found the store of all the unused chasis, HUNDREDS of them, sardined together in a warm climate controlled area. I had to delete some pics on my card as I became snappy happy





















The End



This has to be THE top UE i've ever done, Im still tingling I want MORE
