11月29日 Just out of reachWhile browsing Ebay yesterday...yes, I am at work, but...
It is a Leyland FG but the bigger version with a beavertail (see yellow truck>>>>) rather than a walkthrough, in fact, here's the link...
It's not far away, geographically, and the bidding started at £100...it is now up to £510 and still rising!!! While it was at £100 alot of ideas passed through my mind while I stared longingly at the little green truck...
I seemed to be making a place for it in my life, running through scenarios...not unlike the newly reunited couple, running through a field of corn and flinging themselves into each others arms...in slow motion, of course!!!
My daydream...(or is it scheming)...included the truck with it's very own parking space in the back...sat there facing the house (more than the good old reliable astra gets anyday!!!) gleaming in the winter sun.
Taking it for a run down to the shops...I thought about driving it the 30 odd miles to work every week!!! Then remembered what that entailed (no power steering and lots of shakyness!) So...blatting about it was...local calls, so to say.
I had the front panel off...i won't insult it by calling it a bonnet (she says deleting the word bonnet...hehe) and my arms were greasy with engine oil up to the elbows...a much loved, once upon a time pursuit of mine!
The beavertail was removed and replaced with a wooden flatbed, with sides painted in the same green with red brackets. More practical, I dreamed, and space saving too!!!
I even persuaded my beloved to buy it for me for my christmas present!!!
The bubble popped later, when I spoke to D...in all innocence (yeah, right!) I told him about the little green FG...the first thing he said was...
'Where are we going to put it?'
I told him. He said...
'yeah...right', dripping with sarcasm.
I drew the picture of us both working on the truck together (a dream of ours...but in his mind it's some classic car...I prefer something a bit bigger) for him. He said...
'yeah...right' (you get the jist!)
I told him he could buy it for me for Christmas...
'YEAH RIGHT!!!'
My bubble burst...then the price went up and that definately wasn't going to happen!!! Now I have got my daydreams and to them another one is added...could I have persuaded him to buy it for me if the price had stayed low?
I dream that I could of!!! 评论 (6)
