I had too much to drink, put too much money in, and won it in the last 10 seconds There&#8217;s probably a valuable lesson in there somewhere. I had nowhere to put it, as the garage was full of Bel Air, and no way of getting it home. I spoke to a mate of mine who offered to store it for me in his warehouse, and also got hold of a flatbed recovery truck to collect it. After a few scrapes getting it on and off (it&#8217;s as low as it looks) it was safely tucked away till I&#8217;ve got space and time to do it. I can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/Front_At_Oagys.jpg\" alt=\"Front at Oagys\" width=\"443\" height=\"332\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the people who is on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uk-hotrods.co.uk\">UK Hotrods<\/a> mailing list mailed that he was selling an F100 pick up truck, which is one of the cars I&#8217;d wanted for years.
