My Weird but lucky day.

[Nick Winter]

So it's a regular Tuesday Right, that's what I though. I got up, and out to work around 8:45, got to work around 8:50 (yes it's a 5 minute drive), when I got to work I had to drive a customer home, no problem other than the bag of garbage sitting on the floor of my truck, so I threw it on the trans hump and drove the fella home, on my way back I went around the front (Employee parking is on the far side, dumpster is on the backside) to dump the bag of garbage in the dumpster, smelly garbage, I wasn't gonna keep it at home till Thursday's Garbage pickup, anyway so when I arrived there were a few bags laying on the ground (we lock the bin at night), So I picked them up to pitch them in, when I picked up the last bag it tore open to reveal a Box (shown Below), made my day, and yes I checked the rest of the bags.

had to share with my modelling friends, my Pretty good day.

Wow ! Nothing better than a freebie. BTW how is the Cobra coming ?

[eizzle]

Nothing better than a trash model! I work for a refuge company and the guys that run the routes are always finding cool stuff, a lot of models. I found a few when I used to be on a route, but usually they are glue bombs or smashed up.

Lucky you, that's great.

[Nick Winter]

Thanks guys to make it better tonight I went and bought myself a 1:1 project, 2 '69 Fury III's for $400

Lucky day is right. Never thought of the refuse angle. My brother drives one of those trucks. Gotta give him a call. Lol

Nice scores on all counts, Nick. Any pictures of the Furies yet? By that point, they were pretty much like the American market car, weren't they?

Nick - I was up that way the other day and a bag fell out of the rental car.

[slusher]

Very cool story, that would make my day also..

[Deathgoblin]

Nice score! Looks like it's complete too.

[Ben]

Cool, but I have to ask , Nick, you drive a pickup. Why didn't you put the smelly trash in the bed??? LOL

[tvandmoviecars]

Bought a model once at a yard sale for 50 cents.... nothing great.. just a fiero, but for 50 cents... figured "what the heck".. noticed it was kinda "heavy" after I got it n the car... opened it up... and it had a fair amount of parts.... but the kit was GONE... but, it was all good.. the "extra weight".... was a bunch of almost full bottles of model paints.... that were selling at that time for about 75 cents each!<LOL>

[eizzle]

75 cents for a bottle of paint! That was a couple days ago!!!

I got promoted to a delivery driver so I don't get to find cool stuff like that anymore, and worst part of all I don't get to break stuff... Kinda makes me sad, but it's a lot easier than picking up trash, that's some hard work!

Charlie here is Fury #1, this is the one that will end up back on the road, I honestly only got it to where it's pictured at around 1/4 to 11 PM, everything that could go wrong, did.

tomorrow I will bring home Fury #2

[Tony T]

Gotta get me a trailer like that one day!! Looks like a nice straight front bumper on that!! You got your work cut out for you on that one, Nick!!

[charlie8575]

Got a good start there, Nick.

I thought you (and everyone else) might enjoy this....
