Have no fear. He probably doesn't have much interest in male incontenance pads, slightly used exercise machines or rusted out FJ40 bodies. -- Regards, Noddy.

Aside from hanging onto stuf he will never restore, in the past if he ever threw some car parts out, for example he threw out a running 202 because he went to a v8 - he took the head off and smashed the bores with a chisel. What a fucken idiot. I've never done that. I've always rang around mates to see if they might need it, and worse case scenario, I"d advertise it free to good home type of thing. -- John McKenzie tosspam(a)aol.com abuse(a)yahoo.com abuse(a)hotmail.com abuse(a)earthlink.com abuse(a)aol.com vice.president(a)whitehouse.gov president(a)whitehouse.gov sweep.day(a)accc.gov.au uce(a)ftc.gov admin(a)loopback abuse(a)iprimus.com.au $LOGIN(a)localhost I knew Sanchez before they were dirty root(a)mailloop.com $USER@$HOST $LOGNAME(a)localhost -h1024(a)localhost abuse(a)msn.com abuse(a)federalpolice.gov.au fraudinfo(a)psinet.com abuse(a)asio.gov.au $USER(a)localhost abuse(a)sprint.com abuse(a)fbi.gov abuse(a)cia.gov

I'm on Geelong freecycle. Got so much good stuff from it, and given away heaps too! I've given away perfectly good lawn mowers, lounge suites, beds, even a fridge and a washing machine once too! I've gotten most of my home gym equipment from freecycle, and even a trailer!! You're in Werribee Noddy? I'm picking up my Tarago from there tomorrow!! It's at Sweethearts! Crash Lander --
