Can we not use the chlorine wash to clean the cars destined for the scrapyard,
much more hygienic than getting down and dirty removing parts we need? (just to get back on topic )

Might well be the reason stated, not everything is a conspiracy.

I'd call it an excellent bit of thread drift

Convenient for the US as well. Plenty of subsidies over there I'd bet for farmers.

On the simple question of car expense my general rule of thumb is what I paid for it plus the running costs since I've had it divided by the number of years I've had it.
Then comes the hard bit. If I fancy another will I be better off, like it as much, and will I have to go through all that again. Then, finally, why?

I'm not sure I ever suggested they didn't?

It's a benefit, if you like, what it's purpose is is probably very similar to other help given to farmers in many other parts of the world.

A car is worth what you're prepared to put into it. I put a lot of money into mine because they're worth alot to me (Bones in particular), and no Arthur Daley salesman is going to persuade me otherwise.

Some, that's some, of my early cars had a certain romantic association that sort of compelled a nostalgic attachment that kind of needed a lengthy time lapse before moving them on could be contemplated.
My thanks to Austin Cambridge 388RMH, Sunbeam Alpine APB611B and Rover 2000 UOY961F (my first Rover P6) for the memories, wherever they are. I just hope the same memories for the same cars do not occur to anyone reading this.
