Ghost

Got too busy again, tried them the other night but the castors don't really turn fast enough, could push the back around ok but the heavy front end didn't want to go anywhere..

In saying that I didn't sweep the floor, will see if that makes any difference and report back.

I bought the ones on Trademe in the end, they seem to work well but wont have time to give them a real test until tomorrow.

Anyone using these (or can they recommend anything similar they have used)?

I just moved into a new house with a "double" garage but it only has a single door to get into it...

^ Looks like the boss got himself a nice car

I was going to go but @Thousand Dollar Supercar said he wasn't, lol

(didn't see the last min update)

Next month isn't far away

Old ones usually have smaller grills etc like this

Spotted in Ellerslie this morning

Went to an auction {Kempy's Museum, he had this mitsi wrecker business) on the 23rd, won't be many of these left anywhere..

106 Beachcroft Ave, Onehunga - Drug Testing Services. Funnily enough the Google street view shows it in a far better nick, back in September 2018.

I don't think the drug place is operating any more, so maybe that's why either the owner stripped whatever was worth to him and left the shell or someone thought it abandoned and helped themselves.

I'm quite keen on W114/115 myself but the price has gone up quite a bit over the last few years and not many seem to be on TM either.

There was a whole collection of old Mercs there about a year ago, most ended up sold on Trademe.

I assume they could not sell this one or they are still planning to come back for it one day, can't remember if this one was listed or not.

Looks like most of the buildings around there are due to be knocked down for apartments soon...

Your driving the wrong way. @piazzanoob

there's only one man in ak I know with a Piazza. That must've been u.

The only man with a "running" Piazza....

I might make Feb if I can get a car running by then, not many classic cars to look at here in Shanghai (unless you count the near new "classic" VW Santana's)...

Unusual to see cranes like this still on the road today, everyone is scared of old stuff now..

Finally picked up the RFL mitsi last week

The Orange roughie if I'm not mistaken

The roof blew off the remains of it a few months ago, lol

Still parked behind the shed waiting for its new cab, only been about 20 years now...

Hopefully it doesn't take too much building..

We had a couple of other Detroit powered Fusos in the past, all rusted away now though..

8v92 KW and 6v92 Fuso

Manukau westfield

Foolishly bought this, another job we don't have time for..

RIP, Herons WOF expired and the the alternator belt broke.

Piazzas WOF expired and the batterys toast.

Sounds like the start of a "good" country song...

One of the Volvo's might start though...

All the bodywork is scrap, it was scrap when I went there a decade ago.

A few engines and gearboxes but they have been sitting for decades in the weather so they are probably scrap too.

Not a bad turnout considering the weather.
