I had a look at the two utes on Semephore Rd
just the other day.
They are for sale, but they are a mess.
They would only be any good to someone
chop topping a ute, not much left at all!

There's also a sedan, further down Semaphore Rd
towards the Port River.
Its been there for 25 or 30 years

I know you all don't want to just read about them :(
You want to see them, dont you :!:
So, after I washed my car today
I grabbed the camera, and went to do some reporting :)

I talked to the bloke there about a price.
All I got was "make me an offer I cant refuse" :?

The following sedan is not for sale :roll:
You wouldn't want it anyway :(

These photos make the sedan look better than it really is.
Believe me, Its not good!

Gday ratbox

Yes, he did actually say its not for sale!!!

And I never said it looked good,
its just when I posted the pics,
It didn't look as bad as seeing it in the flesh(so to speak)
Man, this thing is rusty!!!
