Cheap car insurers chomping at their cost-effective bit.

Wales , and I'm sure a plethora of like-minded cheap car insurers will nod in agreeance with, is famous for many things. Like hills, fudge and lots of singing predominantly. A real, hearty mix. And those that venture through Wales , of the cheap car insuring type, or not, encountering all sorts of hardship and provocation en route agree that the best thing to emerge from the principality is undoubtedly – the M4. We jest of course. As cheap car insurers with more than a passing interest in Wales , we are all fans. So, in the swarthy-skinned strains of one of south Wales ’ favourite sons - what’s new pussycat? And why should we be interested? A car mincer as it happens. And yes, you should take note. As this stands out from the pack as much as Gavin Henson does in a Welsh rugby scrum. But for all the right reasons. A vast industrial-looking contraption that destroys vehicles is what this cheap car insurer is now carefully talking about. 450 of the scrapped variety every hour. Or at least the capacity to munch its ravenous way through such a number when the switch is flicked and the gargantuan crusher is turned to the ‘on’ position.

The Worlds biggest shredder is housed in Newport , South Wales , and has recently been installed at the Associated British Ports terminal. Another reason to be proud, and wave your dragonly green and red-splattered flag a little more excitedly, if you’re native of those there parts. Processing 350 tonnes of useless metal per 60 minutes, the £10million quid landscape-blotter is so cumbersome it has to be plugged directly into the National Grid to enable it to suck so much power out of the lower bit of the Land of someone else’s fathers, and begin its destructive way. Awesome is one word to describe it. If you care to peruse a thesaurus, you’ll find many more equally as relevant. There’s nothing, no material known to man that this architectural nightmare cant, and wont gorge its way through. Plastics, rubber, carpet fibre and glass are automatically singled out beforehand though, so they can be sent away to be recycled. As this shredder is a bit too wholesale in its approach to certain areas of consumption and digestion. Therefore the remaining, er, metal, can be shredded, prior to it being sorted, packed, distributed and ultimately sold around the planet. Now our cheap car insurance doesn’t spread that far a field unfortunately, yet it is readily available for every grid reference within the UK . And that includes Wales . Like this gluttonous mechanical marvel, our cheap car insurance will take some beating for years to come, for sheer scale alone.
