Its not just old boats that fade away and die. Old cars have their sad moments too.

Some day they could be toaster's or even razor blade's. Mmmm we could be shaving with a Lada and making toast with a transit :)

Scrap value has gone up a fair bit in the last few weeks. These are worth about £200 each.

I've often wondered where Orcadian vehicles go once they've reached the end of their useful lives.
It was my understanding that they were loaded onto a boat and sent to mainland Scotland for disposal, but I see that there is actually a breaker's yard somewhere on the Isles. Any idea as to the location of this place?
For enthusiasts of locally-registered vehicles, I can make out the plates of 3 vehicles: "K23 YBS" (a red Vauxhall Astra Mk 3). Sitting on top of the Astra is "K38 YBS" (a silver Ford Escort); whilst to the right of the Lada is "C452 RBS" (a red Ford Sierra).
