Save Classic Cars From The Crusher
Discussion
As you are probably aware, the scrappage scheme took many classics off our roads. However this petition could be our best shot at saving them.

Wasn't this spoken about at length in another thread recently, and the consensus was that the petition is a load of poorly researched rubbish?
ie. all the cars that were traded in on the scrappage scheme were crushed long ago, and there in fact are NOT air strips laden with classics dotted about the country.
However I think previous posters may be subtly pointing this out anyway

Guilty as charged m'lud.ie. all the cars that were traded in on the scrappage scheme were crushed long ago, and there in fact are NOT air strips laden with classics dotted about the country.

Slightly OT, but I blame the random way that Facebook serves up posts. I've seen this come up several times on there over the last week or so, with some reputable classic car magazines re-posting it, and the same people posting the same arguments over and over again. Then a day later there's no sign of the posts, so someone "shares" it all over again.
Still, it wouldn't kill someone from Thurleigh to post an actual time-stamped photo to show what's there and what isn't. Not that many of the FB posters would believe them.

I only live about 20 minutes from ThIurleigh. It makes my heart sink a little seeing all those cars in the photos. Can't they even be salvaged for parts?
I don't see why not. Seems like a good idea to me. Why don't you nip round there and have a word.Edited by Mercky on Wednesday 23 March 22:15
