you see many buldging pockets on people's trousers exiting smithys....

The cars are in one section and there main busieness is in the other, a massive hedge seperating it, no one from the scappy is in the car section just full of kids and other people ripping out there needs.

I was after 225, 55, 15 rubber for project A could not see any in there usual pile, asked and they suggested 2 places to check in the business section. Not usually allowed to wonder down there as there are car crushers, weighers and trucks, but you can wonder on in there.

Great fun watching them pick up cars and crushed into a cube....

the boss of smithys turned up in a Bentley Contienatal, number plate was SOB 1. (smiths of bloxham)... so he must be doing something right!

oh and there aren't any dogs there!  :)

Well I guess as they have to strip the cars before they can crush them.....letting other people do it for them and getting to charge some of them a tenner for the privilage....aint a bad idea  ;)

errmmm not sure. Its not something i looked for TBH...

The best spec car in there is the M Reg CDX... there is a P reg CDX but thats been really picked over.

90% sure there is not one, unless early CDX ones had them as standard?

I love scrappies. There's not very many left who'll let you wander round scavenging bits any more though.
