I could spend a holiday walking around there. That BMW shell looks wicked would love to bring that home.

[Trevmk3]

so many cars but thats the world of property building, they dont car what they get rid of to build there

[5hane]

omg what a little gem of a place ! wonder how many ultra rare cars are out there?

[Richierich]

Such a cool place, depressing to think it'll all be gone soon, anyone goin america? Bring us back the 2 dr cortina as a pressie!

[lotusless]

so sad to see

[caprinerd]

some rare tin why cant we have that kind of breakers over here.....

[X FLOW EDDY]

If you look hard there is a TR7, a pair of MGA's, a hillman imp, a fiat strada, its a crime to see them go to waste.

[pimtina]

Yes it's a shame. Let's hope that many of these cars were saved from the crusher.

The real problem here is twofold: People are moving to Arizona at an alaming rate - something like 10,000 a month in the Pheniox area alone so land for development is worth big$$$.

Second is the price of steel - cars a worth more as scrap than whole. Sad to say but that's prgress?

.... and not a single trace of tinworm anywhere

 

For fook sake, they keep telling us not to waste water, gas, electric & other precious things. So why can't someone in power with a big voice shout "STOP WASTING CARS!!!"
