Like you, I am also from the old school. I have contacts, condensers, rotors and dizzies on my van plus duplicates in my garage which I dare not throw away because you know what sods law is like. Maybe I am tight but I JUST know that as soon as I get rid of that rotor arm or whatever it will be needed on my next job. A few years ago, if I came across something with a dizzie cap on etc and it looked a bit "manky" then I would feel a sense of achievement if I managed to sell one for a few quid! Still have plugs on my van that Derek Morley set me up with 22 years ago. No idea what they fit - lawnmowers possibly.

PS. Think its worse for us Mobiles because space is more important and we don't have a delivery service.
