it failed its last warrant coz of smoky engine...
A guy came into work a month ago coz he saw mine and offered it to me for 1500... i rofl'd.
on thursday i put a new tail-pipe on mine and went for a quick spin and decided to go have a proper squiz coz it was around the corner (considering a merc windscreen is 6 hundy)... he came out and said it be mine for $500 if some dude from blenheim didn't show by sat arvo...
dude=went deep south
me=bro-in-law offered me a loan
guy around corner from work=$500 richer
Merc 72= now in my drive (even if it is registered as a 69, it aint)
btw, it handles like a bag of snot on ice skates, but not as straight... no P/S and all fucked up shuddering....
but has 4 new tyres, another 5 rims in the boot, rego till july....
