Hello, Long time lurker, not very much of a poster as you can see from my post tally and the length of time I have been a member...LOL Just wondering what ever happened to the Scraping Scrap Boys. I was a long time follower and the Scraping Scrap site got me through many a lonely evening in my old job many moons ago. I even had a cracking Scraping Scrap window sticker that was sent up to me, but went on one of my old cars.. So where are they now? Cheers Steve Scraping Scrap's Extreme North Correspondent. ;D

Scraping Scrap now posts on this site as UtterPiffle and still appears from time to time.

I'm pretty sure I was a scrapingscrap boy. ;D As has already been mentioned, Mr.Scrapingscrap is on here as utterpiffle.
Oh, and further to PFChris' suggestions of an overseas move. He's already gone, I'm not entirely sure if it's a more 'glam' location though. I've not heard Germany and glam in the same sentence before! ;D

Wahey... Yeah RMad, you were one of the boys..LOL I remember the web site very well, Brucie saying "You were right to go lower!" the Smart Car with the loud exhaust etc etc etc Brilliant. I also remember lusting after that matt black MK1 Golf at the time as well.. I registered the domain www.scrapingscrap.co.uk (Seems the .com has been taken by a money hungry capitilist) this morning. I would not mind hosting the scraping scrap website if anyone has a copy.. Rmad? Utterpiffle?

It's still on the net, it's just 'parked'. That said, it's not my place to say where it is. I'm sure Utterpiffle wouldn't mind, but it's probably best left to him.

Be nice to see the site re-launched, I remember it well in the early days of Retro-Rides as a massive inspiration to a lot of us, especially when it came to the 'everything has potential' mantra.

I'm going to dig his thread up from the very depths of the interwebs, because scrapingscrap was fantastic and I'd love to get at the website again!

Following on from a conversation over lunch last week at Santa Pod with Rmad and Bryn, it seems MrPiffle is due to return to the UK very soon...if he's not actually landed back on our shores already.

It was basically a lot of old cheap cars, running very low (hence the name) here is the only pic I can find of one of the projects www.renault4.plus.com/gallery/peoplespics/PP61-70/PP70.htmThe roof was chopped because it had the nerve to break down, so it had to be punished

Ahhh, good old scrapingscrap. ;D Will is bang on, Uterpiffle is your man, he can be found on UK lows too, although I do believe he's going to live somewhere more glam than than UK soon, so he may be a little while. In the meantime, have some SS pics, shamelessly stolen from the site... Chris Pic's no worky Chris

I did link to them in 2010! I suspect the site they were on is now gone.
