Japanese recreational wreck

by Lee on 4/9/2008

Back in the good (or maybe they were bad) old days, when the disposing of rubbish wasn’t so rigid, a fella after something for free could feasibly almost fill his flat with things thrown out with the garbage — all the way from televisions to tables.

Nowadays though, with a super-strict refuse system, walking away with something worthwhile would require an awful lot of luck to say the least.

But that’s not to say that such freebies are forever a thing of the past, as only last week I randomly ran across a rather large RV.

And while its one not especially careful owner means it requires a reasonable amount of renovation, a nest for nothing is not to be sniffed at.

The sadly somewhat soiled front seat still offering an abode and a certain sense of adventure.

Albeit both being fairly field-based.

There's also the option of following Tokyo Times by full feed RSS, and now Twitter too.

It looks like the missing Partridge Family episode, “The Partridge Family Hills Have Eyes”.

Looks like family axe-murders don’t just happen in the home.

I’ve just started a junk recycling business, and this would be a pretty awesome find. How about posting the location?! You know you can sell the metal to a scrap merchant….
