	cars left in Liverpool overhead railway tunnel, Dingle Roscoe engineering is a garage based in the end of the tunnel which was previously a station. It's about half a mile long and has so many old cortinas, mostly mk4/5, a lot of ford orions, a mk1 land rover etc etc.

	Wow, some real nice cars in there - The mini was last know to the DVLA in 1992, The Rover P5 1995 and the lotus 1997. Both the Jag and the Daimler are sorned to 2011. The photography is also pretty good. I'd love to have an explore, mainly to just look round the cars. The damp won't have done them any good, but from where I'm sitting they look saveable - The mini looks really straight!

	Wow - max respect for this. I thought they were photos you'd come across somewhere but knowing you took them is all the cooler. It also makes me wonder if you'd fancy another trip down there if I were to somehow find myself in Liverpool sometime?? This is my photography dream to do something like this. You up for taking a southerner along for some shooting and an explore??

	I'd say they're the normal sort of thing you build up a collection of when you have space and are in the trade. But forget the why... They are awesome, great work Kev, I'll fight you for the trailer

	Can you still drive into it? That looks like a perfect location for my "hiding a dead body" photo shoot I want to do of the Carlton. Matt
