Is that the one that was found at a RAAF base or something?? Quite a while back.

Yeah it was on a navy base over in the west. The clown who owned it bought it as a pretty nice little car from what I was told. He kinda went off the rails a little and got kicked out of the navy.

The last week or so before he left he took the car out for a fang and demolished the front of the car on a number of items.

He left the navy and simply abandoned the car there. The wheels walked off as did the stereo (maybe he took them with him, I don't know) and it slowly filled up with maccas wrappers and redbacks. For Cleanup Australia Day I wandered over with a few captive able seaman and we cleaned up the mini instead.

I got in contact with him, made him an offer he couldn't refuse and skull dragged the car off the base :)

You can see some scribbles in the dust over the mini, the local live-ins wanted it gone. It was in prime parking real estate.
