A British schoolboy has won an award for a website dedicated to burned-out cars and vans.
Robert McEwan, became fascinated with cars joyriders dumped near his home in Glengarnock in Ayrshire.
The site - featuring photos of the wrecks - has won the Useless Award from an American-based internet group dedicated to preserving trivia on the web.
The website www.burnouts.f2s.comattracts 40,000 hits a day and has also featured in car magazine, Auto Express.
"The response to my site has been unbelievable," 14 year-old Robert told the Britain's Daily Record. "It's amazing to think so many people around the world find burned-out cars and vans as interesting as I do.
"I've always been interested in cars and thought the burned-out shells looked really interesting.
"There are dozens of them all over the place and I don't think they look ugly at all. As far as I'm concerned they're a piece of heritage to be enjoyed," he added.
