After Kenton Rose posted up that WJ Furbers are up for sale (£3million), I started looking at other scrappies and found this for half a million.... uk.businessesforsale.com/uk/Cumbria-Scrap-yard-Carbreakers-Fully-DVLA-ELV-Approved-For-Sale.aspxNot only do you get a 4 bedroom detached house close to some great driving roads, with outbuildings, paddocks, and nearly 3 acres of land, you also get a large scrapyard with workshop, weighbridge, forklifts, 2 post lift, and permission for 1000 cars   So all we need is 5000 RRers donating £100, and we have our very own scrapyard ;D     |

Just so people know, the yard i posted up via Facebook is the old WJ Furber yard at Heapham, nr Gainsborough, and not their main yard at Prees in Shropshire. I think it is overpriced at £3 million, the main land the yard was sited one will be useless for farming etc, due to the amount of old oil etc that will have drained into it over the years, and i can't see it getting planning permission for housing etc.

and permission for 1000 cars So all we need is 5000 RRers donating £100, and we have our very own scrapyard ;D Wouldn't it make more sense for 1000 donating £500 then at least everyone gets a car, then turn it into a huge workshop for retroride goodness to be made  |

Plus we could rent out the house for a decent amount (£800+ a month?), which would pay some of the overheads of the scrapyard.

Even if we got some sort of deposit together we could cut and paste ourselves a fairly decent business plan and morgage the rest. Let the yard pay for its self?

Only on Retro rides would we have an advert for a half million pound house and the smallest of the pictures is the house.

I'm being serious when I say I'm in.... The house, the outbuildings, land, plus the scrap yard and workshop etc It would be a dream come true for so many of us, to have a 'second home' as it were, plus the opportunities that exist and we could create there!
Hmm, could we find enough people serious enough to commit?

Another 998 people needed though |
