It was announced on sunday that this ute was for sale if anyone was interested to my knowledge no one was interested including myself. Later sunday i was heading to the motel and Lindsay and Dave cq were outside my room talking and out of the blue i spoke of the wasp and came up with the decision that we look at the wasp and if there was enough bits that we needed between us we would buy it wreck it and gricey would trailer it to the dump?
The trip began with a small convoy to see if the bits we all wanted were in place. On arrival we find a teardrop sedan rip not even worth wrecking. We looked around it for a little while with the threat of a sanke poping out at any time
. As we headed towards the rear of the house where the wasp was the owner turned up he asked what we thought of it as we all looked on amazed and now a little confused as we found it to be in a restorable condition better than the cars we were after parts for. As we all stood around a little confused as we now had 3 buyers and 1 wasp the owner was a little confused as no one was saying much only a few suggestions on how much work was involved in repairing this old thing heading for a price reduction. Gricey let's rip with too much for me boy's and walks off with the owner in toe.[i think the rust in the sill scared him it was around the size of 20 cent's and this is the only rust].As we all looked at this find ol mate's talking to gricey saying i dont think they are interested we were interested all right the problem was who was goinig to buy it
. while we were woking this out gricey is working the owner. when we walked back to the owner gricey signaled a fair offer which i proposed and he accepted and Lindsay forked the cash. WELL DONE LINDSAY. The wasp was picked up in a short time and is now on route to qld where it will be restored. We laughed at the adventure all afternoon and shared a few drinks around the trailer.
Another great story,I'am sure this one will stay in OZ,the arrival Sun nite sure
