This reminds me when I was younger , I was working on a fruit farm here in North Queensland, Australia. I finished work, walked around the corner to find a guy looking under the hood of my roadster. " what's going on ?" I asked him(politely). He turned and looked at me, a 20 year old, and said is this yours? Yep I replied. He said I'll give ya $3000 dollars. I said ok that buys the motor , what do you want to buy next? He was the farmers son, an arrogant SOB, So I got in and drove off with that 59A WITH OFFANHAUSERS TWIN CARBS AND DUAL EXHAUST SINGING a very pretty song. He never did talk to me for the next 2 weeks but I never caught him touching the car again either!!
