The one that got away....

G'day all,
I've been on a bit of a self imposed ban from the internet for a few weeks after a bit of a let down on gumtree....
My second car was a 64 Cortina GT, it was bought to run around in while I was building my RS the first time. The Escort was almost done so I sold it on to afford a shiny set of RS alloys. I regretted it ever since and my old man still reminds me of the mistake....
It came up on gumtree a few weeks back, after 19 years of looking for it I found it 1 hour after listing... It was to no avail though, a collector from the eastern states had already snapped it up and was flying in the next day... If you had wanted to see a grown man cry, you would've on that day...
It was all good in the end, the guy that bought it off me and was selling it, passed on my number and I ended up getting to see the car again and had a good chat to the new owner. I'm happy it has gone to a very good home....
Onwards and upwards theres plenty more fish in the sea..... Drew..........
