Hey Harko, sorry to have missed you. Did know you were there.

retro · Post by **retro** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:47 pm

hey harko were you in ghost format, i meet a hell of a lot of people ie ratbox,mr smooth, the sunny triplets (and matching sunny gang), fellow fb/ek owners, and other clowns.

I would of liked to touch base again.

PS... sunny mick.. nice sideburns.

If anyone remembers that fb like mine in colour which was parked for sale at bershire park, well looks like the guy has taken on the inflation increase that has been occuring... Original price $3000, now it was offered to me for $7000.

You know all those hours at the swap, id probally spent about ten mins searching for junk, the rest of the time was socialising at the stand and drinking beers.

didn't have to mention me by name i could have come under the heading "other clowns"

bought 1 demister vent for $5

and a dash $10

(collecting speedos keep blowing them up

)
thinking about the white EK if jacko was correct with price and if it wasn't sold

mephious, congrats on the new family member, may be the little pup can give you a hand on the ek build for yamba..

Ratbox, thinking of it, it would be good to see you in a clown suit, maybe riding a V8 unicycle (now theres a challenge for next all holden day).

.

White ek? i dont think i saw one in my brief search, was it the blue/aqua one you were talking about from some caravan park?

harko, meeting me now that's gotta be worth price of admission

the white sedan was over the other side it was in the same row where the 2 tone blue one, was at the time i spoke to the guy it was $200 less than the blue one and 10 times better with a heap of parts to go with it and an auto body, but i know he sold alot of the parts and i think jacko said the price had dropped to $1000

rb all i saw was the blue one, not bad gaurds, and camper seat was noted.

I didnt even have time to really wonder, otherwise a beer and sasuage sanga would of been on its way to u. I think rosie was getting to much interest, and i couldnt even get away.

I know steve and the other boys spent hours on the prowl.

.

All i was after was a ignition barrell and elec. wiper motor

, hopefully i get a hold of one this weekend.

what's this weekend?
i have the guy's phone number i reckon he would have the parts yor after he had heaps of stuff
i have a wiper motor you can have, it will need some sort of repair though as it doesn't work if that helps

Hey Mick, can you PM me the number of the guy you saw with the doors?

Also what about the Beige Sedan at the wreckers with the smash in the front?

Harko · Post by **Harko** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 9:18 pm

Just to throw another one in the equation - Who owned the sedan and wagon parked next to each other ?

Ratbox I was disapointed when I asked the gatekeepers for my money back and they refused

I said Mr bubbles just spoke to me ,You didnt tell me that was going to happen

Retro I didnt see Rosie at all.

Just as we were leaving there was a 60s F100 4X2 bogged ,Or atleast what seemed to be bogged , Me and my mate jumped on the tray while the driver planted it to about 6 grand as we jumped hehe sweet sounding little 351
Hed been trying for a while to get her free considering the traffic banked up waiting ,Just then I looked down to suss out the situation and there was a great big humungous peice of concrete infront of the wheel (probably put there as a handbrake) and once moved the car would have nearly drove out by itself ...
I was thinking "MAN" what a hillbilly and hey hes in a &*#@ , I yelled out "give it some herbs mate" and we broadsided up the street splattering mud all over the joint , cool fun hehe

you may not have seen retro but i'm guessing you did see rosie, were the sedan and wagon you were refering to red sedan, green wagon if so red sedan = rosie

retro · Post by **retro** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 5:21 pm

harko, if ratbox is right you may be reffering to andrew hunters little green hot rod (pic below)

as you may recall, before i got to it over xmas, she was one of the mat black wagons that was in our club (the other was matty martins). Pic below should reload your memory.

The sedan is my little ek, aka rosie.
