Parky

They were really good. I remember getting a call to ask if I was in Lagos because it appeared a clone of my card was doing the rounds.

i think its not once did Benny Hill repeatedly slap Noel Coward on the head before being chased at high speed around a tree in a park by some Nurses to the tune of "Yakkity Sax"

Car show today....I think my favourite was the green datsun Loads more stuff there but I went for the things which were more.....us

New people in my special little book - those who drive up to the carwash and park in front of it before buying their token. I parked up, got my token and as I drove to the car wash an old bastard in a CRV with no dirt on it whatsoever jumped in front of me. So I sat there grumbling and after Mr Enormous Pickup had gone through the rigarmarole of the ten minute ultra deep clean cycle it was Mr CRV's turn. So he drove up to the keypad....and got out to walk into the garage to get his token. Emerged ten minutes later with a shopping bag and a coffee. It rhymes with Bunt and begins with the letter C....

Really want this. Pretty sure Mrs P doesnt want all those pesky savings in the bank https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/subaru/impreza/listing/3519655731?bof=TfgNxPFs

This would be handy - if you needed a piece of modern art called "lacquer peel personified" https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/toyota/sprinter/listing/3549505977?bof=TfgNxPFs

Ooooh, fell across this. Cheap and manual and bangin' toons for crusing about listening to the phat sounds of Googie Rene https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/mazda/familia/listing/3544076898?bof=TfgNxPFs

Newly listed stuff. God I feel dirty. I need a shower or a Church I think https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/search?bof=TfgNxPFs&year_max=1990&user_region=70&price_max=5000&sort_order=motorslatestlistings&page=8

Just waiting for @hairnet to wire me some wedge and two big wooden crates to fit a Carib and a Galant Anyway lets go Radio Rental and see what else Canterbury has to offer pre 1990 with an unlimited budget..... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/search?bof=lebGDEL3&year_max=1990&user_region=16&price_max=100000&page=1 I recommend you have some tissues handy before entering this thread. I nearly fapped myself into a coma over the Wankel engined Mazda ute. Bet Autodoc has all the bits for one of those....

Yeah go for it. I spend most of my time ashamed I'm not wearing gumboots or driving a ute

@Jon You busy tomorrow? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/mitsubishi/galant/listing/3559835457?bof=YN1xElRQ

I reckon we can do better so staying with pre 2000 I opened it up to the whole South Island and upped the ante to two large.... Of these I'd go for the Toyota Vista, the Galant, or the Carib 4wd (Corolla Estate) https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/search?bof=YN1xElRQ&year_max=2000&price_max=2000&user_region=60&page=1

Right, set co-ordinates for sub $1000 and pre 2000 and based in Canterbury. What do we find? Civic, Corolla Windy, NX Couple and a Rover amongst others. Not a bad start...

I actually want this. Had one very similar when here last time in 2002. Aim would be to make it look like this for maximum 1987 Tokyo property boom vibes Basically a hot three door Rover 213. Think Hyacinth Bouquet in a miniskirt

re-read yesterday evenings note and must apologise for the swearing. I love a good profanity as much as the next man but yesterdays missive was a little heavy on the street vernacular. Apologies. I'll make a better fucking effort in future
