bye bye GLi..... :( - Guinney1971 - 24 Feb 2007

well.......the poor old scrap Cav is no more...the automotive version of the grim reaper came along yesterday and took her away (free of charge though!!)
On a more serious note though, if anyone in the Derbyshire area does need a scrap car or van collecting, this guy comes out and picks cars up free of charge (he's based near Buxton, which is about 20 miles from here). Call PK Heathcote Ltd, on 01298 24219 or 07768 568757. He's a registered vehicle carrier and also sorts the V5 out properly too.

Poor old thing, may she 'rust in pieces'.

the GLi was an organ donar so that other Cavaliers could live on (others may still beneift from her panels). Smile

On a different note you could have flogged those alloys on eBay for a few extra quid Shock

ah bless they really do become one of the family Sad


- Guinney1971 - 24 Feb 2007

haha, well not so much camera shake as low light and a rather rapid Land Rover lol :lol: (it was nearly 5pm when he left).

The panels on the car were no good (dented, rusty and bodged previous repairs), and the block was worn on the engine.

The alloys were some knackered old ones off one of Phill's Sera's. We've kept the 14" steel wheels off the Cav as they are a perfect fit on DeLoreans when the alloys are away for refurbing Big Grin

Cheers,

Awww... The end of an era Claire.... I know exactly how you feel, I had several Montego's leave my company the same way!!!! And yes, they do become part of the furniture, even though they sometimes create more heartache than what they are worth.......

Long live "The Scrapper"

God Bless

I hereby raise my glass to all old cars, alive or dead! Big Grin
