Default Re: Self Serve Wreckers, Greater Sydney

I drove past it on the week end and there was a small sign up. I can't remember the name of the group that is taking it over now that was on the sign, but the place looks like it will live on.

Dapto Pick-a-Part has now closed to DIY’ers.

For all we may mock the US as a perceived litigious nation, we deserve reproach ourselves for excessive nannying.

As a nation I feel like our nannying is way worse.

Speeding is effectively un-enforced over there!

Guys and Gals

I'm going to nip this in the bud as I can see where this thread could go.

This thread is about self-serve wreckers, it is OK to talk about it being a nanny state if it relates to the demise of the wrecking industry etc but lets just leave it at that.
