Several years ago I had a motorway cruiser that we used for trips on the continent. It had served the family well and I'd put 170k miles on it. (It had 80k on when I bought it). It became a second car, bust a coil spring and out of its MOT, it stood unfixed for a few months. We decided it needed to go to the scrapyard. I was fond of the car and naively thought someone would rescue it, so I popped a few spares in the glovebox. I thought it would get taken away on a trailer.
Anyway, I was horrified when a skip lorry turned up without skip. The driver put the car windows down, and put the big arm over the car. He put big chains off the arms through the windows and next thing, it's dangling in the air at a precarious angle with the roof f*cked.
I was traumatised!
I know what to expect this time........
