I don't know if its been talked about before but has anybody seen this program on Discovery. Its yet another Hot rod type make over program, where they build a car in five mins, which we have all seen before but have you seen the yard over 10,000 cars in the desert!

Let's say, for the sake of making conversation and interesting threads, that I haven't seen either the show or the yard. Google tells me that the name of the yard is Desert Valley Auto Parts. I'm trying to find it on Google Earth. Google images gives us:   This post is NOT sponsored by Google... |

Thanks, I got lost on GE, found the aircraft junk yard at Tuscon and only stopped looking when I realised my tea had gone cold... |

1.542 miles from here. Google reckons on it being a 24 hour drive, which seems about right. Not sure I'd be allowed to go in. I'd be bound to try buy some old piece of tat and bring it home, much to the chagrin of SWMBO. The series was fun. Interesting to watch what can be pulled together when the car hasn't completely dissolved --Phil |

I've spoken to DVAP a few times. Well set up yard but prices I could not afford for parts really. Partly because of shipping costs, partly because of parts prices. But as they say "where else you gonna find rust free panels?"
They seemed well set up to ship internationally too.

Not a bad show and nice to see old cars being put together that's not a soap opera. The yard is ridiculously huge - wouldnt it be great to have those weather conditions where the cars appear to last forever! From the few episodes I've seen they appear to be turning out some lovely restored old motors too

Let's say, for the sake of making conversation and interesting threads, that I haven't seen either the show or the yard. I haven't heard of this, it looks rather good. Unfortunately I don't have Sky, so will wait a few years and watch it on Quest instead. ;D I would quite happily live in a 'trailer' in that place, and spend the rest of my days tinkering around, like some hot rod greaser from the 50s! |
