What kind of car?

[antlind]

Supra or Celica

[cinco]

Gally cummins old car?

[MG Man]

how many of those still exist locally, three?
Two?
Not my fave Celica, but would make a nice project car nontheless

[moti]

That's hideous.


And yes, this is moti saying that.

[MG Man]

well considering they tried to copy the fox body Mustang, you expect otherwise?

[moti]

No I don't, just glad they didn't copy any BBS though.

[MG Man]

[fatts]

where yuh see that pp statesman any more pics? Mpower??????

[mpower]

thats the only pic, in freeport, girl say not for sale. her dad's ole car

[moti]

^^ Which is something I will never understand.

If it's her dads car, maybe he passed away and she is trying to keep it for memorabilia.
Why on earths name would she want to have it in the rain and in that condition?
Does she not love her dad? Why would she treat him like that?

Ok, it's a touchy subject for me as I also can't comprehend why someone will put on their car "in loving memory of **********" and have said car like crap.

[MG Man]

maybe she has no space to store it? no financial means of restoring it?
Just like an old Vauxhall Viva SL90 HA-spec that's rottening in Piarco...the shed collapsed on top the car, they moved the shed, now the car is rottening....is grandpa's baby...he say doh ever sell she...
so they not selling

[moti]

Stupid way of thinking, IMO.

Let the car live on, let someone else enjoy it as much as the old man did.
Why have it just sitting there slowly dying away.
In the end, it's gonna end up just like the past owner i.e. dead and forgotten.

[MG Man]

well that's what grampa wanted.....he didn't want anyone else to have his baby. He told them it's his baby and leave it there
the car's beyond redemption now, but it was in nice condition when I first saw it....looks like a poor family too. I would have happily given them 5k for it, even tho it was prolly worth maybe 2k

looks like this
