Yesterday, I took a drive from Manchester to Lincoln to a scrapyard. I had seen a set of seats for my car the day before, rang them up, agreed a price and drove over and collected them. The guys helpfully loaded the interior into my car, I paid my cash and drove without even getting my hands dirty.

When I was younger, I remember going to the scrapyard with my older friends or dad with toolkit in hand and removing any bits we needed from the cars. It was quite fun but I suppose revised health and safety legislation has put paid to the public scrambling around old cars.

I'm actually regretting the fact that I didn't pick up a steering wheel whilst I was there...

S Class went a couple of weeks ago. Got a 2011 A8 3.0 TFSI now. Love it. Same engine as the S4/S5. Was going to remap it but just got back from Lincoln having picked up a set of S8 quilted and perforated seats hence this thread!
