We did one of their ‘wheelbarrow days’ a few years ago, £80 and you could put whatever you could carry in a wheelbarrow.

Bill Way's yard just off Rover Way (ironically) in Cardiff is properly old school.
Cars stacked three high precariously on top of each other. I once asked how I get to the one on top to remove some bits - "Theres a few ladders out there somewhere, just be careful and help yourself." Found a ladder propped up against something else - should've seen the state of it Good fun though. They usually have a couple of Rovers in and I like to have a mooch around whenever I have a spare hour or two. |

Sadly, stacking can cause damage; I once saw an immaculate, up to that point, MG Magnette, appearing only damaged by the stacking, sad.

Not too far from me, years ago it was called Simpson salvage. You have to wear a hi viz
vest and steel toe cap boots , plus it's a pound entrance. You need to keep checking the website for new cars coming in , or there is never much left but scraps ... people now buy lots of parts then sell them elsewhere. |

Made me laugh.
Many years ago when I was much younger and stronger I went to one of these with my uncle and cousin, they had one that was anything you can carry out for £5. I think it was up Blackburn way but I wasn't driving on that day, my cousin had a Chevette with a front end crunch and it needed panels, there were many of them in that yard and we cut off a set of front panels to take. I put the front panels across my shoulders like a milk maid carrying churns, it felt very light to me and so, we loaded it up with loads of stuff, starters, alternators and anything we could until I was starting to buckle at the knees. In the end we had hundreds of pounds worth on my shoulders and I carried it to the gate, my cousin was paying and the scrapyard owner was almost crying as I carried it out for £5, he was trying hard to tell us it wasn't what he meant when he posted the advert but, he was stuffed.
