G'day
I hate to upset you Tweaker but I only paid $1500 for a fully optioned series 2 wagon in top condition. I reckon you would need 2 to 3 wagons to trade for 1 CF.

VS Commodore Equipe Wagon (Series II)   Item number: 320322098110   
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=320322098110

I now do not have any vehicle going and registered, which is a problem when living out of town. I had to organise a car trailer and a ute to retrieve the VS. I got a mate to run me around in his Ford Econovan today which started out alright until the rear universal collapsed. We spent hours trying to get a new one and even checked out a few laying in paddocks. Ended up welding in a smaller uni from a from an old Holden tailshaft found in a scrap heap. I am not usually that Bodgey but we were stuck.
And I lost another day.

Regards
Chris

Talk about black cat...
I have just realised that I left a book on the train that I was halfway through reading and will not be able to replace.
And it was a good book.
Grrrr!!!
