If you find out the secret to getting free cars.. please do share with all of us.. I'd like to know how to do it too!!
I watched some Youtube videos about a scrapper in Australia and like no one scraps in this guys part. It was an open dump with a mouthwatering amount of steel. There were also a few cars dumped.Quote:

Yeah one of my best scores was down across the main road from my house. It was the first street of our run. It was a ginormous pile of aluminum siding and corrugated aluminum. A bunch of guys standing around reduing the roof. We drive by slowly but keep driving then we hear them "wait!, wait!" you can have all that. It was like 3 truckloads of aluminum and this was back in like '05
Ahhh.... refreshing. We need to start a new thread.. something like "The Scrapping Good Ol Days"
It was a time of finding things we now need to fight for
Things people would Pay to get rid of.. now we have to pay to get them/it
Heck the most recent has to be the e-waste boom. I remember people were so willing to get an out of date paperweight out of their way.. now people think that computers have gold bars inside them.. I still get a few but it sure isn't like it used to be.. on many "scrapable" items!
Yep, I remember on garbage nights by me you used to fill a truck and if you were lucky you would have to make a drop off at home. Now you got me thinking of making a new thread
I remember walking under a massive train bridge ans came across a huge pile of smashed computers. Kids would throw them off and watch em go SPLAT. If only i knew about e waste then. Coulda cleaned up the trails and made some cash! Ugghh..
That too going out back then and seeing a minimum of 10 tvs per week when nobody knew about them
Guys really I need my first car and I want something that runs, and drives great but for FREE! lol
Nothing we can really do to help you get em for free.... Its just luck. I have yet to get a complete free car, and iv been at this over 2 years. Theres no trick to getting free stuff. And You cant force or talk people into hading over a car for free. It all depends on what they wanna do. I mean you can try and tell them the costs to dispose of cars, time, etc. But people arent dumb these days. Good luck

PS. As a free car goes , it is not impossible, so is hitting the lottery numbers.
I'd LOVE to see a HQ stationwagon thats two cars wide & two cars long.Quote:

We have a Bogantown in NZ called 'Gore'. "Its the arse-hole of the world" Quoted Mick Jagger. Theres two sorts of people there, 'Gorons' & 'Gorks'
'Gorons' mostly work on cow farms pulling tits & drive 70's & 80's cars up & down the main street while getting drunk & yelling & grunting at people.
The 'Gorks' watch them.

When you get that monster car built, I think I can safely say...we'd all like a pic of it. ;)
