Absolutely superb!

Some cracking cars there going into the crusher and it brought back memories of when I was just about to pack up living in The Smoke.

It reminded me of Jones,s the scarp yard down Waltham Cross,,,, I went down there on many occasions for parts .... you used to have to strip the parts yourself ....No health and safety then ,,,,,I got a bonnet for a mk 2 tina ,,,,,tied it on the roof of me car with some old cushions under it ,,, and then back up the A10 home ....happy days

Bit before my time but an interesting watch.....

Tis a shame to see the quality of some of the stuff being dropped into the crusher though......

I wonder if they will say the same about an M reg Mondeo in 40 years time............errrrr......NO!

I love seeing old footage of the way life used to be. I can remember as a kid in the late 60's and 70's there was still empty plots of land and derelict buildings that where left over from the war, we would be out playing in them until the cows come home, my Mum would say "Look what the winds blown in or found ya way home then" great times. Kids today haven't a clue how to live.

Yep all unfit and over weight but thumbs like Charles atlas's biceps.

I get a bit nostalgic sometimes when I think back to my younger days and the laughs we had maybe im still hanging on to my youth? But great memories, as fit and healthy as a butchers dog then. You might get a thump in the head by a bigger kid, but that was all part of the growing up process, that happens now the riot police would be called out. All the thumps broken limbs and im still here.

This is me early to mid 60s. Not many people in my street could afford cars and would of been glad of some of those getting scrapped in that film!

I didn't realise cars were supposed to have floors in them until the mid 60s.

Me Granddad in that picture there bought me a cricket bat for my 1st (yes 1st) birthday and a pair of leather boxing gloves for my 5th birthday.

He was a Black Country foundry worker and used to go to the pub most nights and sometimes bet on bare knuckle fights between his son and other blokes sons.

He would come home with all these blokes following from the pub and drag his boy out of bed to fight.

I think he was a bit disapointed with skinny little me.

Bit like ma dad said to me "your a bit gubby and nothing to back it up".I'm the one that missed that in the gene pool.
