Default Doesnt it annoy you the things you find ....

So today out talking to a bloke regarding some supplies for my business
Any way topic all done , then i notice an old graveyard down the back
"Yeah mate go for a look"
So of i trundle
FJs, MK1 zephrs,XMs,XPs,XBs,EHs,HRs,dodge trucks,chevy trucks,old army trucks,bus or two
A pile of cars , near on two strories high,all sorts
Now alot just wont ever see the tarmak,few goods parts thats all
But oh the old trucks, some good rod material right there
But the minister,has spoken
"How much more stuff do you want"
"You dont need anymore"
Talk about being in a bind
Worse part is i can have anything i want , 3 cartons of beer each

Ive just come outta a bender in the sleeping bag in the shed
(aka the dog house)
Should i play with fire ,or just let it be

Doesnt it annoy you the things you find ....

I feel your pain. Out back of our work is about 10 acres of old cars just rusting away. Used to be the biggest wrecker on the gold coast.

Without fire, we'd still be living in cold caves, and ripping the meat from freshly killed prey with our teeth & bare hands.
Is THAT the kind or person, your dearly beloved wants you to be??

My missus doesnt even try to stop me from getting anything car-related. If I want it, I get it. No arguments, no questions. I just must be lucky....

As for the OP, Any form of car for only cartons of beer should be accquired immediately.

Cars for cartons? Do it.

Tell the boss that some of them are going to be quick projects to be sold off for profit. Might work?

Tell ya what. Seeing as we're such a good bunch here we'll help save your marriage.

Just post the gentleman's name, address and ph number on here and you can then take your wife out for dinner knowing all is well and your mates on AFF will take care of the problem.

it's pretty poor form when you have to give up your hobby as part of the relationship.
