Heartbreaking!
Some of those cars look lovely - shocking waste.Got a link to where these pics are coming from?
Some impounded cars are not woth the fuel for the tow truck to remove them.
Some are but our spitful system take pleasure in asserting its power over the public and crushing your posessions, even the wrong ones.
Sadly all those cars pictured will meet their fate in the crusher.
braking them for spares would make the Gov't a fortune but joined up thiking never was a Gov't strong point

I do spot a blue Ford Puma though - hopefully not a Racing version, although it looks like the correct colour for it...
Edit: sliver Puma too, top left (and beater to a Puma comment by previous poster...)

Strathclyde Police took an Audi Q5 off a local hood under proceeds of crime and regularly roll it out for press and TV. Stickered up like a traffic car but don't think its used on the beat so to speak. On a side note, it always bothers me when Top Gear/5th Gear destroy/ruin a perfectly good car. Be it a shed or not it just doesn't seem right.
I guess you hate watching action movies then when they destroy loads of fantastic cars for our viewing pleasure!150bhp said:

Note that cars >2001 are subject to the new taxation system. Hence, I think it was a crafty way to remove as many as the older models off the road.
Far too many of those would keep other (older) models running. THAT to me is true green motoring rather than a discounted tin stbox from Korea.
