HI all

thought i might punch this one in.

I drove to the snow this year and only just stepped back in the door for a snowboarding session and passed a massive graveyard "old old wreckers",

you can actualy see the yard by google maps just zoom into cooma and head out towards the snow fields by like 1km. and see the size of it.

Never had a chance as a 14hr drivehome is hectic enought without being caught up in there, "with the missus in hand"

Anybody been there? from the road thecars look to be aged 1930's - 1980's?

any goss?

Dunno about pot of gold, that yard's very well known been there for decades (it's as old as the cars, probably) and the owner is no dummy. I wandered through it, must be 20 years back. Huge. Recently there were some pics from the yard posted on classic fords forum, and yes there were a couple of cortys but pretty worse for wear. Last I heard he was charging entry just to go and have a look...
