lol, tell me about it. Those days are long gone
Scrap price was thru the floor and you had to pay to have cars taken away if you didn't want to MOT it!
My best buy was a C plate Audi coupe 1.8 in metallic purple, barely a mark on it but a seized clutch and needed a battery. Literally carried a battery from home to the car, it started first touch, drove it up the road flat out in first, stamped on the brakes and pulled handbrake up to stop it as fast as possible, clutch broke itself free, pedal popped up to where it should be, checked the gears, reversed back and said cheers mate and drove off
Best £20 I ever spent!!!
Still miss the 405 more tho. What do they go for now?
