Our Story Begins....

It's Saturday.

Me and Mitch took the Focus out to Salmon Arm to see a man about a car. We didn't get any pic's at the time, but turns out the car sat for at least 2 years before we came to look at it. And the engine sat for even longer since it was just pulled from a scrapyard. The man said 3 and we said 2, and later that day we were on the highway, me in my car and Mitch driving our $200 dollar bastion of glory the 130km or so back home.

About 50km out of town a bearing exploded in the front right wheel, smoke went everywhere. The grease cap shot like a cannon ball across the Trans Canada. Mitch swerved. I died laughing. Pulled over, cleared the smoke, realised the problem and drove it home, grinding away doing 45kph down the highway.


Insurance was $80.
