Anyway, who did win the cricket match?
I feel that I let him down badly in regards to the cricket, as I couldn't make it in the end.

Good Morning!!
Yes its mine, all mine
(insert evil laugh here)
I know the auctioneer, hes a stock agent and does auctions/clearing sales etc. On arrival yesterday I started enquiring if maybe we could alter the direction of the auction so I could get out and play cricket...
The landy was moved up :)
Just before it was due I got called to the house phone (no phone range here) and was advised by my wife that Loxton North, the top of the table team we were due to play at Loxton at 1pm.....had forfeited...I'm sure it was to do me a favour...(or because they have mardi gras and their players were all on the turps!) although I suspect it was because we threatened to import a player from qld to outdrink....sorry I mean to outplay them :) x2
Up comes the landy, pressure is off for cricket and on for the sale!
There have been constant streams of people looking at the car, there are about 450 people at the sale and mobs of car trailers and trucks in the car park, also scrappies hovering...one bloke produced a car jack and was looking underneath !! :eek::o that isnt a casual interest! :(
That said up it comes, furious bidding results..... and on my 5th or 6th bid the auctioneer knocked it down to me !! BOBCAT MODE ON!!!! (happy little digger!)
So then I have borrowed as tra:(iler from a mate who had one with him and with the assistance of a FEL with forks been able to load it up (he was lifting the rear bar as I winched the car up and on.
Home and happy!
Further inspection and some pressure washing revealed the following rust,
Fuel tank is toasted....very very badly,
the brake/clutch fluid 'tin' is also toasted... badly
as far as I can see....THATS IT! have found none in the firewall, chassis or even the under gearbox cross member!
I'll add some photos more than already on... eg under etc..
now I need a name for him...
