Lost my A
Well it looks like Ive lost my A pickup for a while.
We had a nephew come to live in our town,he has no car yet,so my son lent him his and took my A for his work car, For the last month it has taken him to work and back every day, He is loving it, I think I may be without it for another month or so, who would have thought that an 83 yr old ford would still give good every day service. One thing ,he ran out of gas the other day,he said he was too scared to turn around in case he had to push it, so coasted backwards down the hill to the servo. Lawrie |

Re: Lost my A
If you have to loose the "A" this is the way to go. Perhaps you are instilling the bug in your son?

Re: Lost my A
Nice truck. Wish mine was to that stage. With this bum shoulder of mine, I'm beginning to think I'll never get it done.

Be sure your insurance covers this new use.

Good luck on that shoulder! I can sure empathize with your situation now. Doing a 'favor' for those that couldn't do for themselves, several days ago, and the water heater dropped on my hand! Hmm, no good deed shall unpunished? Old guys should know their limits Yup, this is when stick shifts suck. lol |

Re: Lost my A
Always good to see a truck being used as a truck. Keeps the dust out of the bed.

Re: Lost my A
Great looking truck!
Don't you think they run better when they are used? |
