Title: Said Goodbye
Post by: Mr Gav on 11 April 2016, 21:46:23
To my Miggy today, another one gone to the great scrapyard in the sky  :'(

And with the price of scrap it was a right job getting rid of it too, it had to be complete or not at all.

I`m sad to see it go but it wasn`t worth putting the money in to it but it has been a great car for the last five years and I now find myself not owning a Vauxhall for 29 years.

But roll on Sunday and I`ll be grinning from ear to ear.

Is there such a place anymore?

It`s not bad where I am, at least I`m not in the east or south of Leeds which are just Sh!tholes.

Have you been watching the news? Steel is not the most valuable commodity at the moment.  ;D

Mixed scrap is about £0.10/Kg


Even driving a car to the frag is hardly worth the detour at the moment.

About £50-75 for a drive in, bugger all for collection and they want it complete or they`re not interested  :(

Not far from Charles Muddle here, they collect for free and their only stipulation is that it has four wheels on it so that it might be dragged onto a flatbed.

The annoying this is that when I went to collect my alloys the car was already lined up for cubing and I had wanted the front seats to make a couple of computer chairs so why they insisted it was complete is beyond me  :-\
