Dads xy is a 6 seater but a sedan I can tell you with 6 in there it is like sardines in a can I'd love to see six jump out of the front of the ute be like a clown car.

Good description comedy seems to sell on eBay maybe if you said you'd throw in some spark plugs for the winning bidder. ;)

Should have hung onto my XW ute for a while longer. Sold it for $400 10 yrs ago and it was a goer.

Mick, the bloke who wanted to drive it home was taking the piss.  Usually when you write a funny add it brings the comics out of the woodwork.  Thanks for the compliment on my writing.  Yes I should write books and to think my english teacher failed me.  So did the art teacher and I've spent the last 30 years making a good living as an artist.

Frosty, the spark plug idea is brilliant I might add it.

The markets flat at the moment and I don't expect too much. A few years ago one like mine went for $3,000.  But there's a few for sale at the moment some starting at $500 with no bids.  Murphy's law, I always seem to sell up when the markets dead and buy when it's peaking.  I've just come to the point where I have too many projects and time and age are beating me and it's time to move some stuff so I can focus on the more important ones.  Or as my beautiful partner has pointed out.  Make some room so you can actually get to them and have the time to play with them.  Which seems to be the lament of most of us who hoard projects.
