no i didnt lie to you all
well i guess i did
yesterday matt (SSWANAB) and myself using my trusty van moved a shed full of mini parts, yes we fitted a shed full of mini parts and an old man in the back of mini van
well the story is as follows: Matt found an old bloke with a little more than 400kg of parts. these consisted of multiple 12g202 heads, an 1100, lights, alternators, dizzys, interior, coils, exhaust boxes, carby's, seats, rocker covers and more.
so matt asks me to help him move "some" mini stuff, i accepted as i was promised van lights
so we drive out to this blokes house where he gets talking he never really shut up and i swear we heard the same story about his yacht about 8 times and how we should take a "blow" which we soon figured out that this means take a rest
he didnt want to take his own car so he jumps in the back of van huddled up behind the drivers seat (where he finally shut up
) but continued to mutter things about our terrible justice system or something
we arrive at this 5 acre property with nothing there at all appart from a shed an little abandoned homestead. so the old bloke opens his shed and we are confronted with a datsun 280z or something will holes drilled in it as it makes it "lighter, stronger and not rust as quickly" according to the old bloke.
We spent about two hours moving parts and listening to him talk about his yacht, Also about how he chiselled a car into a peices (he had the bits of the shell to prove it
) and the conspiracy that the surveyers have against him
so this was the van all loaded up when we finally got rid of old ken and back to matt's place- obviously it would been lower with three people in it
and after
i was surprised how much stiff we could actually fit in the van. we drove home at about 40kmph to not crush ken he was laying next to the engine and to wreck the parts.
It was an eventful day out to say the least
