I got lucky and someone bought mine as he wanted to use it for banger racing.

My Breakers collect anything, but they are only 2 miles away.

I Have cut a few up, it's hard work.

I really hope I don't end up having to cut it up!

I may have a back-up option, just got an email back from a breakers saying they would take it away if I paid them £48...

I left my garage door open, came in the house for 15 minutes for soup. Guy comes knocking on the door wanting to know if I want to scrap the Mini bodyshell sitting on sawhorses in the garage. Around here, if you set anything metal by the curb, it will be gone by the next morning.

I don't call the peeps in the paper, I have some stuff I don't want them to take and you can guarantee it would go missing if they knew.

Or cut it up and sell the quarters on eBay if they are any good for repairing other cars!

Woo Hoo, the donor is gone

A local breakers / scrap yard took it away for me today.
I didn't bother asking them for any cash, just wanted it gone!
