I've just picked up some radius arms from a guy in Northampton. He is collecting all our local engines and sending them to the States!

So much for a market led economy!!

theres a chap who lives in bristol who used to ship out 100 1275's and 50 998's a month, destinations varied from states/aus/canada and newzeland. Apparently back then, 1995-2000, he could get £400 an engine over in the states - sometimes more elsewhere. The reason i know this is because i bought a batch of 5 engines off a guy who used to supply them, selling them at £50ea already taken out the car and on a pallet ready to ship.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

tell me about it. I found 4 a series in the scrapy asked how much, M&M were picking them up later in the day :(

yeh and they will be gauranteed less than 50,000 miles as well, utter shite. Clean them up service them and then whack em out to the punters at 450 splats, its not feckin on

Try avertising in your local bargain pages for complete cars, Metro's are still out there,not as many as there was though. It worked for me. Prehaps M&M's can't be arsed with whole cars.
