Indeed it is. Quote Cats and Dust specialise in the recovery of precious metals (Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium). We purchase Catalytic Converters from cars and commercial vehicles, their catalyst content is then refined leaving behind the precious metals. https://catsanddust.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2022 Hmmm. Is this advert aimed at those kind of people who suddenly find themselves in possession of a used catalytic converter one morning looking for a place to sell it?

I was expecting to see something like “no registration needed” or “paid in cash”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of people who buy old cars for a song and salvage every single part they can to sell on ebay etc. One man band scrap merchants if you like. A bloke I used to work with did it, the profit margin is high if the Labour costs are zero But you just cant get rid of a Catalytic Convertor, you need a licence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it hit me, it was a VTer, I’ve seen them in the rogues gallery, it was @Ingram85. I went over to say hello. It wasn’t @Ingram85 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Have they revealed if these boys were related yet? By their ages i’d guess at least 2 were brothers. So deeply sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I work with claims that his daughter is friends with the dad of the three kids that haven’t been named, and that obviously they’re all siblings. Could be complete bullshit but it would be a weird thing to lie about 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 One witness said that one of the boys got his leg caught in the ice the other three ran over to help but then they all went in. Sounds like there was a big crack and the extra weight caused them all to fall in. So sad as we all would have done the same thing . What a tragedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted December 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2022 Happy birthday Stevo Happy birthday Genie I haven’t bought either you anything, but I’ll be at Villa Park this evening and if you think you see me, come over and say hello and I’ll buy you a beer. If there’s any hesitation, think of Paddywhack’s recent success with his meeting with Ingram for inspiration. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, now I’m sad that I didn’t realise there was a home game tonight and instead i’ve just agreed to go out for dinner with the family (initial plan was do do something another day as my lad had football training, but it has been cancelled due to the weather). Do I rock the boat because it’s my birthday in lieu of freezing my knackers off at Villa Park? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
