Thought I'd drop by (hey everyone!) and show my new purchase. Idid something crazy and went and spent too much money on something totally impractical hahahah! This is my new ride (eBay pics, sorry):          1969 Buick Lesabre, 350 engine (5.7), 4 barrel carb, 3 speed auto. 18' long, 6 1/2' wide, 2 tons Like a ****ing champ  Arrives at Casa Di Somersett tomorrow lunchtime. Just needs a ticket and registering then I can make the most of my newly bought shares in Texaco! Booyah! **EDIT: as with all 'kustoms', one is required to pick some clever name for it and I have come up with mine: The Necromancer The literate amoungst us may know that The Necromancer is the original name for Sauron, in The Lord of The Rings....otherwise known as the Lord of Mordor (gettit?) |

Nice. I can see you are using the Akku method of car selection ;D

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

Haha...slots might be good. Bloody 5x5 pcd limits a bit but I'm not worried about wheels yet - damn thing has cleared me out for a while for car stuff! I'll lose a few inches out the height and just roll for now.
It's fresh from California and hasn't got a scrap of rot in it. The only thing that doesn't work is the clock and the washer jets...which I've got a replacement pump for already.
Pretty excited for it to land!

I want your garden Car looks good tho, what plans u got for it? Not my garden unfortunately! Plans are relatively simple... Drop and roll to start, eventually wheels and paint...and maybe bags in a few years  |

Might be worth letting some sort of underseal/waxoyl bomb off under the car before you start using it. Also needs Straight Outta Compton on loop.

When are you coming up to Bristol next? It's been nearly three years and I don't think I'd even recognise you anymore? ;D
