Dave2302 387 Posted August 8, 2019 Hi, I got rid of the old V Class Minibus that I broke up for parts yesterday. I had filled it up with all the scrap and a few old batteries, cats etc and was just about to phone my regular guy, who often takes 3 to 4 weeks, before he is heading east with an empty wagon, at which point he'll swing by, pick it up and drop it to the Frag in Muir of Ord. Well these 2 chancers wandered in yesterday and asked if I was wanting shot of it, so I pondered for a moment, and thought what the hell, I can use the space, so I said "If your gonna take it today it's yours" ............... He went outside and drove in his lorry .......................... After about an hour of removing the 2 cars already on the lorry, putting the old bussie on, and then he lifts back the other two Cars ....................... Well I'm laughing, thinking he's bound to get tugged by the feds, so I casually said "Where you going ?? To Muir of Ord ??" as I'm thinking at least he won't be on major major roads with surveillance etc etc ....................... "Fife" he replies ................... Well that's about 200 odd miles from me !! Wonder if he got nicked lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Ayers 171 Posted August 8, 2019 Didn't Vauxhall say it cost £750 million to develop. Which was a lot of money back then! You can see why modern cars share platforms and engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We did ex Police V6 Omegas,no idea how many we sold,but it was a lot. I sent our scrap guy to an old punter last week having explained he may only get £150 for his 1 owner ,04 Vectra. The scrap guy called to say thank you etc and that he gave the punter £200.I said that was too much but he said the number on it is worth a grand ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
