I've been in Japan for the year and looking in everyone's back yard every opportunity from the daily commute, i managed to spot what i first thought was a bus. At least from the back it appeared so. Paid better attention next time I whizzed past and though I'd never seen one before, recognised it as a type 147 or Fridolin (colloq.) It had vines growing through it and it has lots of rust streaks. Thought Id drop in on the property and see if I could have a gander. The owner said the vehicle was not his but I was welcome to have a good look and take some photos. Well, its pretty rotten in some places but nowhere near gone like the shop owner thinks (he's no welder). So I asked whether the owner would pass it on? Its taken about three months to get to this point but the owner said he's never likely to get around to fixing it up. It has mild mods but all complete. the owner took out the glass and the steering wheel and bumpers so they'd be looked after but it meant the rain has well and truly had its way.
