Breakers Yard In Bolton

LOCKDOWN CAR LOVERS

Bored Brits have taken to washing their cars more frequently during the coronavirus lockdown to pass the time.

Left with limited tasks in and around the home thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, cooking, gardening and cleaning cars have become favourite amusements as we wait for life to get back to some kind of normal. 

Lockdown has also forced us to get to know our nearest and dearest on a whole new level.

If you've been pretty much housebound with your lover over the past three months, you might have started to notice some new traits you hadn't picked up on before. 

For some, that maybe discovering just how how much their other half loves their car!

  ❤️🚘 

"A real car lover will love their car more than you," laughed Terry Walker, founder of The Scrappers salvage yard in Bolton. 

"There's definitely a type of person who is much more into their vehicle than they are their wife, husband or partner.

"If you haven't noticed it before, during lockdown you'll probably have noticed who comes first; and for many it's their car, not their partner!

"We get many customers in our breakers yard in Bolton who want to stay and talk about cars all day long. That's a bit trickier now with social distancing - but for many car lovers this whole period has given them more time to devote to their beloved motors."
