... and NOT rescued vehicles...

Hi all,

Now that I am at it, I took some more pictures today at an old mate' s place.
He had a breakers yard / garage for many years, doing only American made cars.
Sadly, demand for these cars parts collapsed over recent years, so he closed the place down...
I visited him yesterday - first time in many years, I must admit - to borrow a towbar to get the donor-DAF I bought a few days ago to
my place ( see " rescued vehicle " at http://www.smcars.net/forums/index.php?topic=19941.0 )
When I returned him the towbar today, I had my camera with me, so I could capture the last remains of some cars left to rot...

Sad, isn' t it ?

ps: the very rusty 1962 Chevrolet Impala, was one of the cars he used to take us to the pub in the late seventies.
He used to call it " Bomma " ( Grandma ) and in those days it was nearly impeccable.
It has been standing there for almost 20 years now. sigh !
