Car for sale?

Hi. Still cannot remember my password so here goes.

I am retiring the much-loved Camry as of next week as my new package includes a new car. Whacko! A brand spanker to drive the economy.

I have been offered $500 as a trade-in so any enterprising cousin might like to offer the same and utilize what I think has more value even if sentimental. 253K kilos completed, mostly Mudgee, Lismore, rural NSW and Victoria, and potentially 250K more to go. No rego as of 30 June, and may need new tyres. Some dimples of love as modeled by Kimi below (in front of the Mudgee mansion) that make it perfect for on-street parking. I decked a kangaroo on the weekend which merely bounced off the bonnet without a scratch (to the car). But a spot or two of rust courtesy of 10 years in Manly. Complete with 2002 Sydney Street directory, a B-52’s driving tape and some stray Indian movie music (as I grade up to CD’s). Kimi not included but lunch could be provided on pick-up (when she gets back from Japan). And a nice number plate too that might help at a Dennie (?) Muster.

Any interest?

Brendan

Speaking of the B-52s, have you seen who is headlining "A day on the Green" this year? It's a Stellar line up.

I am not in the market for a car at moment, although it does sound like a bargain.

Stuff you, Brendan, I want your dad's Camrey! 20,000K's, never been out of 3rd gear, never had a drunken teenager vomiting inn the back seat, never had a ticket, didn't need to be driven to church on Sunday because the Church came to THEM etc etc.

Love to Kimmy

Yep, he wants his too, and passed up the offer. Of course I was in my 30's when I threw up in the back seat, but not the same I guess. Never been in the back seat of mine -wonder what it's like.
Seems my posts don't work so well and you'll have to draw your own picture in the box provided.
PS the Camry is worth the price of a ticket to that concert Lainey.

Hi Brendan, I sent you an email to set up your blogger account again.

I'm in Vietnam at the moment, Brendan, but Amanda could be interested in the Camry. I'll be back next week so can you hang on to it until then? Fingers crossed we can keep it in the family...

hey brendan, is it white camry stationwagon? I need a white one.

Brendan said...

Amanda, it was a white one but as of yesterday it is alas mine no more. Sweet memories. General lack of interest meant a For Sale sign in the window and sold within 24 hours to the local Thai restaurant who recognised a bargain at twice the price. It's the quick and the not so quick in the Camry world. Wave to them as they drive past delivering your Pad Thai. And from tomorrow to me in my new wheels. I still have the B-52s tape if you are interested.
