Thread: RRC of 33 years now gone

Even though rats completely chewed-off the wiring harness that goes inside at the front of the left front door, it still promptly started using a jumper cable to provide power from the battery to the coil which allowed it to be driven onto the trailer. At least I didn't scrap it and I might see it around in months to come, presumably with more than a hand-brake to slow it down.

It's hard to let go of cars, especially ones with so much personal history. Probably a some of the reason I had to build a shed! I hope you do get to see your Rangie rebuilt or restored and driving around, and maybe even something you could make an offer on.

Its carpets have already been shampoo'd and are reportedly like new again, except for the hole in the driver's one. I think that it will be much loved by its new owner but he has a very long road ahead to get it even just respectable again.

Sorry Graeme but---

Going to its new home.

The canola is looking alright......

That paddock looks OK having only just reached full flowering where it wasn't too wet to sow, with the 1st 100m still a swamp and another patch over the other side of that hill. The border of the Riverina and South West Slopes runs long the top of that hill.

The new owner looks like they are already a LR fan judging by D4 the tow tug.

The new owner is a work collegue of my son who owns my old D4.
