Default Junkyard 28!

Me and a mate went up to drop a turbo off up near leicster on saturday, and decided as we were not too far away to drive up to junction 28 as he is after an escort cosworth, and have a look to see what they have got. All I can say is what a waste of a journey, , I have never seen such a collection of overpriced tat in all my life . the 2 cars that stuck in my mind the most was an ash black small turbo up for 16k, with fairly high milage, and it looked like it had been painted with a catapult, the alarm was fucked and the panel gaps were hideous. There was also a blue/ mallard one out the front for just under 12K, and it was quite frankly a mess, it had saff offset wheels on it, the body work was a mess and you could have parked a transit in the panel gaps

It also has to be said the staff were the most dis-interested bunch of car sales people I have ever met, they didnt even come over and ask what we wanted, just one girl offered us the keys for the car we were looking at and walked off
I know you pay a premium for buying off a dealer, but seriously, I didn't see ONE Escort cossie there that wasn't 3k overpriced IMHO, at a minimum I'm not posting this to cause trouble, just to save anyone the trouble of wasting their time going to look at a car there.

I almost bought a car from them once. An RAC inspection later resulted in them condemning the car

mate It wouldn't be worth nicking one of thier motors, they could just follow the trail of filler dust to where you are hidden hansel and gretal style!
