Discussion: But

.. it's seen good service and a bit of the countryside.

Before it got to Perry Ave, yes - it was freighted on a train from Perth without my knowledge, because I was away in Tas at the time and deeply unimpressed to come home and find it in the driveway, where it has been sitting ever since with the wheels off and windscreen out and Smudgecat made it her home. After that first summer, the flow of mysterious-parcels-on-the-doorstep-which-turned-out-to be car-parts-bought-on-ebay slowed to a trickle.

End of an era. How is George coping?

Not my problem :) but I anticipate he'll use the money to buy some more glass cabinets in order to better display his model crane trucks...

Oh I thought it had been brought into service for some rogaine management/O control equipment transport. I can see why you are happy. We've got a "boat" that was going to be sailed... 17 years later it has not moved from it's location beside the carport. I had a buyer for it but relented. At least nothing has been purchased for it.

Pretty sure he'll never bring home a boat!
We had the misfortune to be on the Spirit of Tasmania on the second-roughest night of 2009...if I didn't get seasick then, presumably I never will. G, on the other hand, says he's NEVER going to Tas on the boat EVER again (he can't understand my minor obsession with ferries).

Wow!! I think Smudge will miss it more than G??

Aww Tasman Ferry was where I met your parents.

They get around :) I think that was in 2005?

Yeah, apparently Smudgecat is deeply unimpressed that her cosy nesting perch has been taken away.
