    Long story short I need a digger for about an hour so the client wants to keep it for the day and go crazy.

    Put simply if you had various large plots of land and a digger what use would you find for it?

    I've always wanted to half bury a car, nose down in the ground so I can open the boot and use it as a planter. I'm not sure I can find an old banger in time though so any input welcome, the wackier the better!

        Axl, saw this at Hampton Court a few years ago, an old American gas guzzler used as a planter, not buried I know:

          Well I suppose a pond/lake/water feature would be good.

            Why bury a car? Leave it out of the ground then you can push it where you want it..like this one at a garage not too far from me.
