jacob 28 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 those cats were a bad idea,i know a midwife who parked her brand new freelander outside a house she was visiting,come out, the car wouldnt start ,turns out some fecker had got underneath and sawn the cat off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest smashygadge Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 what sort of press mate? well i was thinking jacob what with a smaller vehicle now all i come accross.,id be able to sort out and compact into blocks rather than all loose . i gave a load away yesterday due to not being able to move. now even if your picking a bit of tat like a bike it could be pressed into a block rather than taking half the little jeep ive got up. just one of my mad ideas, but the room and extra amount to aload would be beneficial Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonesy 111 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Do the scrap myself have done for years,made my best money from farms,i cut the stuff up they load it on the truck we went halves allthe way.It is coming back down now,to be fair it might not be a bad thing as there is a load of thieving going on and you get nowt but hassle of the police,if the price went down to what it was a couple of years ago it would be better.
