	Just a bunch of holiday pics I took last month in Turkey. We had two weeks there, and did all sorts of activities, one day was a safari and I spotted a yard with a load of wrecks in it. At the end of another days trip the guide did a detour for me, and we managed to pay the 75p entry fee to go walk about the yard. Saw a few Chevy C10 trucks from the 60-66 model year. I also took a load of random pics of "stuff" Interestingly, the tour company was called........ MOT ?? Nope....... perfectly functional transport. Can you say patina? RatRod? And one for my mate Martin who would love a GMC grille on his truck. So thats the lot.

	What a strange place! It's not quite a scrap yard as most of the cars look complete. And its not just a load of abandoned cars either as some of them look to be getting worked upon and some look to have been restored. Did you work out what the reason for them all being there was? Regardless it looks like a cool place to have a wander about. -Steve-

	Is there an air base near by ? I'm wondering if the US cars are cast offs from US personnel stationed there.

Seems strange to see so much American metal where you wouldn't naturally expect it, yet here, where the US had two major bases (Subic and Clark) for decades, there's very little. At least that I've found anyway. Some nice stuff lying around there and I've just mentally spent a lot of money!

	Just a quick reply to some comments. The guy who owns the yard buys up, restores and sells the stuff you see. He apparently collects whatever he can finf accross Turkey and seeing three 60-66 Chevy C10's and a GMC of the same vintage was a huge kick for me as I have a 66 too. I did try to buy one number plate off the pink one for my collection but it was a distinct NO. I had also hoped to find a couple of dash blanking plates inside them but no luck. Fortunately A friend found both I needed in a yard in Florida USA two weeks later. Seems he is quite pricey according to our tour guide but remember that is vs Turkish incone. There is a large ex-military airport about 30 minutes away at Dalaman that is now civilian. So it may have some bearing on the content of the yard. As is always the case, language and culture are the main barriers but I suspect everything is for sale.

	Some cool stuff there. I'd take the Di Blasi as it'd be the easiest to get home.
