My junk

i woke up one morning and saw a centaur for sale on ebay, by midday i'd bought it and the charioteer stood next to it aswell. that little lot came to £40k (which i didn't actually have at the time) when i got home from work that night i told the missus, she was not happy infact she's still not happy but i think it eased the pain for her when i explained that i hadn't actually spent a single penny, i'd invested the money so it was simply a case of liquidity

i'd changed the cash into an asset of equal or greater value. remember these words and learn them so when the other half accuses you of squandering money just explain "that it is simply a case of liquidity and you've acquired an asset of equal or greater value to the initial investment". just try not to look guilty when you say it

I'm going to try that! The "it only cost $5.00" kinda doesn't work anymore!

Here are some pictures of my last treasure. As you can see the guy I bought it from welded on a cab from a old Fargo on this one. He had a big V plow on it, he plowed about 3 kms of road to get to the highway in winter. He owned the truck since 1960.
It is complete other than horn, windshield frame,seats, tailgate and wood in bed of truck. Box rusted but not overly bad, just on corners of storage boxes. All hardware present for troop seats.
The steering wheel is like brand new as was not exposed to elements since it had the cab on it, also all data plates are present.
It was made by Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited. Date of Manufacture July 13 1945
