I think I might have a few about the place. Some of them have even got liquid left in them. Not for long, obviously :)

Dave, the winner of the previous challenge is the one who sets the next topic.

Del, here are a couple of bottles - empties anyway:

I believe that this particular vehicle belongs to a Beetle restorer - he has a small workshop just off the main road by the station where many old V-dubs are seen in various states of repair from time to time.

Wasn't feeling at all well this week and wasn't going to get an entry in but took this opportunist shot today and put it in as a filler - it a random shop in a stretch of tatty shop on a back street in south London
