Convoluted Gun trade
11 years ago I swapped a Case of Beer for a fairly nice 21spd mountain bike. 2 weeks later I got tired of riding a bike so swapped it for a 1972 HQ Holden Kingswood Station wagon* 173ci I6 with 3spd manual column change. That was absolutely STUFFED!
The Tailgate window didn't wind up,
The front passenger door didn`t open from the inside half the time,
The rear passenger doors didn`t open at all,
There were no door locks, or ignition lock.
There were no keys. You started, & stopped, it by pushing in, or pulling out, a rod that had been taped to the top of the steering column & disappeared into the dash.
The right rear quater had been Stoved in and the body was full of rust.
It failed a Roadworthy test on 64 out of 65 points.The ONE passing point? it had bumpstops!
But it had Mag wheels and Tinted windows
Funnily enough, the Drivetrain never missed a beat & went like a power of p*ss.
Which I then swapped 6months later for a 30-06 BRNO Bolt action with a 4x32 scope. It's still in the "gun locker today
(*Holden is an Australian Car company. The Pontiac G8 & new GTO are Re-Badged Holden Commodores. This is a Kingswood)
