The PALMER HOT ROD RUN is held every October and for it the main street of town is closed off and its one big mall of cars parked all the way up and down the street. The first year we lived out here (a small country town) we had old cars to take. A 'rat' EH Holden and a Flat black 'rat' Galaxie hearse to take, but the last two years not so. The EH didnt cope with its new country surrounds, the wife didn't cope with its falling apart state, so it was sold and the hearse ended up being sold to pay for the large shed floor to be concreted.
So after a day dribbling over eveyone else's toys the fingers did the ebay thing and well...many of you will know what that leads to...
Two weeks of self induced anxiety later, the deal was done and the wait for delivery was on.
So it was that at midnight on a Monday, said spaceship landed. The next morning greeted me with one very dirty dusty motor vehicle and me hoping i had bought (sight unseen save for ebay pictures) well...
