....or call me a loser....or something.

You all know how bad Karl is, right......he's like a crack dealer for old car people, always knowing what your weak spot is..... The vehicle in question has already featured elsewhere on this forum, I had made slightly unseemly noises towards the owner that could only really be described as "Car Fapping" (Cor, its gorgeous, lovely,etc <eyes roll back>) so when he announced he wanted to sell it I was a pretty easy mark. When I was a teenager these things were the schiznit; a friend droves his parents white Mk I and we called it "The Space Shuttle" cos it really looked like something out of Nasa. Telecom had a whole fleet of them. They were the biggest selling car in NZ for a few months at one stage. A days work at "Honest Jesses Used Mitsubishi Repair Depot" had her looking mint although I will still need some of Harrys labour to fill in a few holes. Sure, she is a MkII from 1988 and has the slush box attached to the 2.0 Pinto rather than the manly 5 speed that every man and his dog lusts after, but she runs like an absolute tank. She has been my daily driver for ages and has taken me everywhere...... We did Cromwell 2 weeks ago (via Dunedin and Roxburgh, then home over the Lindis) and this weekend she took me and the bride to Dunedin for the long weekend, eventually clocking up 890k over 4 days. There are a few ideas on what to do next on her (Karl definitely has a few) but the biggest problem at the moment is trying to find a spare week or so when I dont need her for it to happen!

Sure, but you wont be able to park it in the driveway....

Agreed........should have stayed longer, but being a school night and all....

Lots to do between now and then unfortunately....

@h4nd and I are debating whether to ride share in the Dai or the Sierra.... Max outrage points either way.

Meetup at @DoBro Jesus and then convoy over?

So bringing them on trailers is an option?

Hire one off @DoBro Jesus

Top marks on getting a CG13 one....did a bit of looking ages ago, they go quite easily into a mini.

I'll bring the Sierra. Which technically means I'll be walking from about Woolston.

Is it the Third Wednesday again??? Someone mentioned it might be....

It does have life, but trouble booting. Not insurmountable though....will devote some time to it over the next week or so. Thanks!

And here it is, all the way from the Auckland mega sale. (much love to the man, the myth, the legend @chrisR for doing the legwork)
