Complete Rubbish!

I'm fairly sure the Swindon picture is the Honda plant stock yard. Where all the new Hondas go prior to being delivered to the dealers or exported.

And I would guess that the other picture is the docks of all the new cars that have been imported.

I think the new car sales have slowed world wide but why would you pump out cars you cant sell on that scale?

There's a certain amount of truth in it... I've seen many a shipping yard, and there's always a corner of 'dead stock' cars... gathering dust.. Who knows what happens to them!!

Rentals, fleet cars etc etc.

No way would they scrap new unsold cars to simply keep building new unsold cars.
It would take a government to do that.
