Another one bites the dust...

I'm having a chuckle to myself here.

When it comes down to it we are all a bunch of cunning thieves

I never saw it like that !! just as responsible re-users, even better than recyclers

Vultures, the lot of us!

Just hope the 'recyclers' are not members

Owe I so so so agree
Nothing quite beats a rummage in an old school scrap yard, even better if it is full of A2's (all accident damaged ones of course)

I wonder if Ian's A2 was classified as Category B. This would explain the no buy back option from Ian's insurers as the law states the body must be crushed by a licensed recycler, possibly with some parts up for reuse. Makes sense to keep it licensed to try and maintain the integrity of the system, i.e. In theory to stop rogues repairing inherently dangerous vehicles and putting them back on the road.

I did not know Category D and E no longer exist:

Only just caught up with this thread - so sorry to hear of your misfortune Ian - having only met you recently in your little A2 (which was sounding quite throaty at the time!!), it's good to hear that you're ok, but such a shame that the green meanie is gone.

Equally good to hear is that you're back in the saddle as it were. Hope you have many more years and miles together.
