I think that guy is ever so slightly mental. Sheerness Port is on an island off Kent and most cars imported into the U.K come via there. Stock photos of fields of vehicles there does not boost anyone's case for an Illuminati conspiracy! :pac:

I don't believe nor disbelieve, just posting the information so we can find out if it's BS or not, I wouldn't at all be surprised if it's true.

It does seem to be a massive over supply of cars though ?

Most of the images are old. Some are from areas that cars are stored before being distributed etc. I'm sure there is a small amount of truth in it but blown out of proportion.

Second thread in as many days. Lock this Shyte and pretend it never happened.

Although it must be mentioned that fiat did scrap a load of unsold Stilos and Puntos around 05 for tax purposes in Ireland.
