Try and get another job, eh, leeching from the hardworking public, where most of us have got big money worrys, coz of this plandemic. It is not funny and your music, your giggling/enthusiasm is despicable, your skew-wiff !! it aint a fine job, and you deserve to pay a price, to the moral compass of community, but you wont know what that is ?

It's always sad seeing some of these old "end of life cars" on their way to be scrapped when all they need is a few hundred pound spent on repairs to keep them on the road. Yet folk are happy to spend double or three times that on a slightly newer, but equally old car that runs but could easily need the same money spent on it again by time it's MOT is due. :(

[@d4nzo]

I agree i try and fix up and sell on some older stuff and make sure its still ok to stay on the road but so many people want to much money for cars needing work, then you get people scrapping cars in better condition, understandably because they dont wanna deal with all the messers trying to sell a cheap car, that golf was a shame probably a half decent car some theif has ruined

[@cnevill2]

The last car I scrapped could have been repaired, but I was at the stage where I wanted something bigger. If my current 14 year old car develops a fault requiring a 4 figure sum to fix The factors against it are the high tax bracket and poor fuel economy.

[@cnevill2]

[@highpath4776]

Some of the problem are now the clean air zones etc coming in including use or parking. But it has always been the case for professionals the profit on the bits exceeds the value of a repaired vehicle. This might have changed for the present times of high demand for some kinds of vehicles.

[@barryrathbone]

Can’t believe that they scrapped the poor Renault Megane. Do people never fix things anymore?!!!

[@toptrucker2k8]

Nice video Kev, a little tip for the gearbox in the Renault, when your in reverse and want to select forward gear just pull the stalk upwards which will put you directly into 1st gear. Instead of having to go reverse, netural then drive. Keep up the good work!

[@james2593]

Always bugged me that when going into 1st from reverse it would go into manual mode. The first couple of times I was wondering why it was revving it's nads off when I pulled away! Pulling the stick towards me it went into drive (auto).

A mate left a decent car outside mine, asked him for log book so I could sell it, but tax had run out and a removal sticker and clamp appeared on it early hours, so I took the dog shit bin which was full and dumped it in the car after I took the radio and battery out. The chap who turned up was nearly sick when he opened the door which I left unlocked, made my day to see the pile of shit taken away :)

[@williamfence566]

As you went to pick up the megane and estima , I'm saying . Whoa "GOAL" before driving in . I can hear my late father. "If you can, always reverse in so you are driving out especially if it's going dark" . Glad you left it in to show even the best have a " I should have ... " day.

[@highpath4776]

When you get an abandoned car do you get a V5 showing previous legal keeper or does the highway authority notification suffice ? I think the abandonment on private land comes under a torts distress of goods provision and needs a court order or sold at public auction if over £500 in value ?

Alright Kev? Just thinking, when you've got to get the winch cable out with a car already parked at the front of the truck, why don't you get yourself a pole with a hook on the end. It would save you having to overstretch yourself trying to get the cable past the front wheels (with your arms only) by just grabbing the cable with the hook.

Kind of depressing seeing some of these cars going to the scrap - some of them could be repaired for a few hundred. I bet the Corsa with the brake failure just needs a few bits of brake line. Probably the mouldy volvo and the BMW with the snapped cambelt were the only ones which were actual scrap.
