Wow - I am now a 5 car family! What a way to spend my birthday weekend!

On the way back last time with the G60 ute (see two posts down), we stopped to check out some other G60s I’d seen advertised on Gumtree. Turns out they are at a farm which seems to spend more time as a vehicle graveyard than a farm. Maybe he's growing a crop of rust.

Well - after thinking about it for a while, we decided to head back down to pick up not one, but two more G60s! Let the shuffle begin again!

The first is a sweet looking mid-wheelbase wagon. She used to be red, but now appears more pink.

She may have dolphins on the door - but I always preferred the wagons to the utes, so this was more what I’d wanted. If I can only restore one, it would be this one.

Unlike the other trip, neither of these G60s actually run though. At least not yet... The wagon had working brakes though, so was able to run down the hill on it's own. The other needed some help from a tractor.

Next up is a sad old ute. Poor old girl. But while she may look like she’s lost an argument with a gumtree, some of the panels are better than my other ute, so she’s probably going to be a parts wagon.

This time it was a one-way shuffle, but a double-haul. Oscar the Pajero pulled the wagon, while the mighty Maverick once again lugged a G60 ute up the midlands.

My G60 collection! Currently stored at my parent’s place, until I get my shed built or they get sick of them - whichever comes first.

I think three should do me for now. At least until my bank account recovers anyway...

Wait, does this mean that Oscar is starting to become RELIABLE?! :GASP:

Those three look really good together. They'd look even better on the road, mind you! It must be time to knuckle down and get them running shortly.

'Shortly' could be the wrong word...
