Enough behind the hand talk. Graham "parked the Zephyr, upside down, on a clothes line " I think was the description....At Thornbury I was in the throes of a breakup of a long relationship, my ex needed a car and in an effort to smooth things I bought one of the too many Cortinas, a neat Mk1. It was a very well kempt relic,apart from some car-park dings that had been added by Graham's ex "Rock-girl" it was a pretty straight concern but the paint was scabby and it had a few primer patches.. I think I gave him $2400 for it.
I fixed a rotten rocker, replaced the fuel tank and sorted out some long term stuff....once it was finished I didn't want to be doing any warranty work for a customer I wasn't keen on doing business with , I then painted the car. My drummer turned up one day and said, "have you paid Graham for it yet?.....I'd be paying him before he sees it or he's gonna want it back".....he did want it back, but he's a gentleman and stuck to the deal. My ex drove the car a bit, trucked it across the country, drove it a bit, trucked it back to Melbourne and then left it in my yard where every long white sock wearing Cortina fan pestered me about it before she relented and let me sell it,of course she made a profit.
