Dakota Salvage of Mitchell, South Dakota, has been a fantastic source of spare parts and restoration projects for decades. And that’s exactly why we paid them a visit. The only problem was that we arrived at 11.45am one Saturday morning, just 15 minutes before the yard closed for the day. As a result we ran around this wonderful place at breakneck speed.

Welcome to our second and final visit to Rohner’s Auto Parts, one of Minnesota’s best-kept secrets. This 80-acre yard features miles of dirt tracks lined with thousands of cars. INTRODUCTION While many vehicles date back to the 1990s and 2000s, as you can see from this collection of images, there is an impressive array of older domestic, European, and Japanese autos as well.

Will Shiers sampled a smorgasbord of trucks in an unseasonably mild Norway at the Scania Winter 2025 press event. “Salmon or reindeer?” the waitress asked at my Oslo hotel restaurant, perfectly encapsulating Scandinavian cuisine in a single question. It was a tough decision, but it paled in comparison to the one I faced the next day as I ventured north from the Norwegian capital to Trysil – home to Norway’s largest ski resort and the venue for Scania’s annual winter driving event.

Denton Auto Parts of New Market, is a massive sprawling yard on a Tennessee hillside. Unfortunately you need to make an appointment before visiting, which is something we failed to do. However not all was lost, as the yard owner was happy for us to photograph the 100 or so classics he had parked-up near his home, which also doubles-up as the yard office. LOCATION The building was rammed full of spares, spanning 10 decades, and included an impressive collection of Tennessee licence plates.
