Phew..
Today I got a new gem.
78 TD Wagon with a 2litre piazza in it. Pretty quick little car Fairly stock looking apart from rims and a HUGE dumped exhaust.
Was driving it home from the dude I bought it when a cop pulls up behind me.. then moves to my shoulder. I slow down to around 50 kms and he follows. He followed me home like that all the way home till I turned down my street.
Damn, my heart was in my mouth for a second then. Last thing I wanted to do was get defected on the same day I find a great gem. |

Yes thats the one. No its not turb'd but the 2.o efi is quick enough for me.
Just gave it a bit of a cut and polish and its coming up great. The discoloured guard is from when someone bumped into it and dented it, its been repaired but the paint faded I've rubbed it back a fair bit just with t-cut and its brightened up quite a bit. Looks good. Also hardly much rust on the car too.
Oh yeh I was also worrying about having cops around me cos the car aint registered ! arh ! Will be soon tho. |

NOT REGEISTERED!!!
Shit man do u realise how lucky you are...
In their little pig cars they have their little computer thingo and they write your number plate in and then it says if it is registered or not.
Either that or they get on their CB radio thing and check.
Shit dude!!!! lucky but good work |
