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
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!!!

Tis a real shame but good old chrome is still good
Just goes to prove that there are some really dumb people out there.
Who the hell would let an old holden go to waste like that!
