Saw this on the M25 this morning, on a back of a wrecker doing 75 in the fast lane :)

Car was a Zinnobar red 320i, F534???, the letters being taped out. Was pushed in nearly to the rear arches, it won't be going again. Soppy big wheels on it, but I suppose it will yield a few spares for someone.

Wrecker turned onto the M40, in the direction of Iver??

Wonder why anyone would bother taping out the letters on a wrecked car? :squint:

They still get recorded on the cameras as a car on the road, with resulting fines in the post, if not.

Saves all the explaining, its common practice.
