Default How's this for strange...

On my way out earlier, I noticed an EA Fairmont Ghia parked at Ultra Tune which is not that unusual lol I see them all the time except this one stuck out so I turned at the round-a-bout to go back and pulled into the driveway and there it was. My EA. Well, the one I traded in to get the AU. I went all the way to bloody Ringwood to trade-in the EA and some bugger has bought it back to Werribee. Oh how heart breaking. It looked so sad. Oh it was just filthy. I'm devasted - I felt like washing it lol.

I saw my EA once after I traded it, pulling on to the the riverside expressway at 16,000rpm, skanky looking woman at the wheel, 16 kids in the back seat. I should've chased her down and told her to have a little more respect...

I sold a 82 collector Corvette in 1998 for $28,000 to a guy in Wangaratta. I saw the car at a car show in 2003 with another owner who informed me he paid over $40,000. Man was I cut since I really did not want to sell it but as I had the Buick in peices I need the money to fix it as well as to get a new car.

We have seen my girlfriends ex cars numerous times since she sold them, but unfortunately not in the best of circumstances.

Firstly her XB four door, which she saw on the back of a trailer with severe front end damage.

Then her VT, which was stolen the night we traded it in from the car yard and taken cross country taking out the sump, it was then repaired by the caryard and onsold, then we saw it on the back of a trailer after a big storm a few months later, with a tree embedded in it.

Dave you know you want it!

I remember when i sold my first car, i had put a spoiler and nice rims(CSA Cobra), and lowered etc, then about 8 weeks later i came around a corner in townsville in the wet and i saw it wrapped around a pole.

When my olds traded their EFII Olympic Classic wagon in for the AUII, I come to school one day and saw the EFII sitting in the teachers carpark, my maths teacher had bought it. Nice car it was, he looked after it too.
