Was sitting out by the gathering table and a few of the other people where
there too. I was offered a car to buy, only $300.00! Wow, figured it
couldn't be as bad as the one I'm running now, that was until I saw it. It's
a blue Chevy El Camro(sp?) you know that pickup that's not a pickup, a car
that's not a car. The joke? 1st it was first owned by the park manager and
then sold and that guy sold it again to a guy who drove it like H*ll and now
it has a blown motor.

It would be good for the scopes, but that bad motor is a stoper.

Are the car gods trying to tell me something or just having fun on me?

I once bought a "little old ladie's" Morris marina ;-) they were built
from compressed FeO2, then painted. This one smoked like a train but
that was reflected in the price so I bought it for £150. A lump from
the breakers was £30 and 2 new wings another £40. I only wanted it
for the 11 months MOT it had. 8 years later it took us down for the
solar eclipse and was still running when I flogged it. By that time it
had a 1800 TC Bseries engine, 5 speed Honda box, riley 1.5 rear axle
with oversize drums. Long range Sherpa tank, 3 different coloured
wings....what a pig :-) I did a similar thing with my old man's Minor
1000.
Then there was my "racing Land-Rover".....but that's another story.
Now I pick out a new one every 3 years from the disabled Motability
scheme, they start every morning (Oh, joy) and everything is paid all
in (tax,ins, service,recovery etc..)
