Would you believe it
Was out in the burbs today getting reading to do some groundwater investaigation and drilling and I had to go to this old lady's house as we are
drilling in her backyard. She has this old valiant station wagon thats rusted to shit and we got it moved for her.
Anyway I have a squiz in the old shed she has and what do I see...... HK Monaro, pretty much mint. So I ask if she is interested in selling it, She
tells me she would love to but its her sons, who lives in a nursing home, braindamaged from a motorcycle accident and it is in the hand of her estate
trustees. She says he refuses to sell and the trustees wont do squat until he karks it.
Apparently the car went under a full resto and engine rebuild and then sat in the shed for 30years. I am going to try and get some pics for you
guys.

that is freaking awesome.
i am a massive fan of the HK, i had one as my first car 13yrs ago.
sadly though, i sold prior to them becoming rediculously expensive,
am i kicking myself today, you bet i am.
This was mine,
I saw this one on the weekend at Stanwell Tops north of Wollongong whilst on a bug run.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
