What have I found on the beach?

[Scrump]

Walking on Charmouth beach looking for fossils I found this object.
Feels like stone. It is hollow all the way through, like a piece of squashed tube.
Hot Wheels car for scale.

Is it from Anne Summers, for the discerning gentleman’?

Won't be long before spark plugs are actually considered a fossil.quite ironic you've found one in stone

It is smooth on the inside and has a pronounced rib on the outside, for her pleasure.

According to this link:
https://www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk/museum-at-home/r...

Some of the finds in Charmouth beach are from an old rubbish tip and include car parts.

Still no clue as to what I found. I suppose it could be a neck from a bottle that has somehow melted, not sure how it would have experienced such heat.

If it is glass like it would only need to be in a bonfire to distort it like that.
Certainly looks more manageable made than animal or vegetable fossil.

Some kind of retaining plunger?

Proof that in prehistoric times, UFOs had ICEs

What you have there is a Dialynx Audi Short Sport quattro. Rare and valuable, unlike the manky piece of gcse pottery.

I didn’t realise that glass became soft that easily.

Ever watched glass blowing?

When I was 11 I found a shell on the beach.

Nothing unusual in that I hear you say, there are loads of them on a lot of beaches....

Apart from the fact it was large, metal, rusty, had a swastika on it & started making a ticking noise when I kicked it

More importantly, how has your Sport Quattro got the BBS Turbofan rims? Mine had the Speedlines... I'm rather jealous!

I hadnt noticed the screen angle, it could well be a dialynx. It is a keeper
The melted beach thing is not.

I only chose them as they are easy to keep clean, the Speedlines are lighter.

Not a Dialynx. Aside from the windscreen rake, you see the "vent" in front of the rear wheels? The one that isn't actually a vent. On the Dialynx it is at the top. On the real Sport-Q, it is at the bottom of the arch.

Dialynx:


Real Sport Quattro.

That grey Dialynx looks proper council.

[ShredderXLE]

Black wheels not doing it any favours.

The black sport Quattro at the last Annual Service was fantastic, really fantastic to see up close.
