"Morticia" Moves On..........

[Daggsey]

Following my recent stock reduction, "Morticia" has been sold and is soon to depart her State of Origin (WA) for Mexitoria .

Noblesgarage & Mark T paid a visit recently to Fridgetown to collect "Morticia"and tow her 250k's north to Mandurah to await her transport across the big paddock.

A few minor adjustments had to be made for the journey (new second-hand tyres, temporary lights board, wingnut numberplate ), and away she went............................























'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go.........................






Hitting the South West Highway (main street of Bridgetown).....probably for the first time in her 52 years.............................



"Go you good thing!!"..........................heading north to head east.............







No doubt the story of this journey will be continued by others..................a sad day for moi, but c'est la vie

Thanks for the photos - good to see my new, ol' girl on the road. Looking forward to picking her up and bringing her home.
Thanks for all your assistance, and yes, photos of her trip and restoration will continue.

;D ;D ;D ;D That smile on our dials didn't change all the way back to Mandurah

Morticia towed like a dream folks behind the 3 ltr Turbo and we couldn't get over how well she handled with head winds and cross winds alike coming down from the hills on our journey north . For what we gess-ter-mated the van would weigh in at some 1800 to 2000 kg's

Next morning with Morticia still connected up behind the tow car it got the better of me So down to the local transfer station ( Or Tip If You Prefer) were there is a weigh bridge and what do think She came in at ? 1540 kgs.


Not bad when you have a look at the amount of steel under neath the old girl Check out the photos on about page 5 under this section Brian

Hi Daggsey..
Sad to hear the "passing on"of Morticia.
I am sure she will be happy in the "Äfterlife"

Lyneth you have .. or will have a sweet lookin old van to have and to hold ... shortly.

I hope the west east crossing to Vic goes smoothly .
Enjoy

Regards
Reddo

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it..................(I think it's called "seller's remorse").........................as soon as "Morticia" is out of my sight, she is treated with contempt and parked under a F-F-F-F-F-F-#@d flag

How could you do that to me Noblesgarage ......I am already traumatised by parting with the old girl and now you are adding insult to injury

At least you had the decency to tow her home with a Nis#an ......next I'll probably be seeing her behind a Toy#ta

I think I'd better go and have a valium and a good lie down......OK, a scotch & ice

GULP!!!! How, how do you feel about her behind a Santa Fe Daggsey Certainly not game to bring the Landcruiser, might send you into a binge spiral ;D ;D would it help if I told you I have Monaro flag and signs in my shed?

A Santa Sleigh

OK, the Monaro flag is starting to get my heart racing again .....all might be forgiven when I see the photo of that....

There you go Mr Daggs Morticia now relocated
Yes after much deliberation it was unanimous that she reside in GM Ally Well you should be happy with that as its next door to Mobil Central which is next to Sandra's milk bar But unfortunately it across the road from Henry's corner And the only good thing to come out of this it hasn't blocked access to the Bar Hic hic stumble we re's the bloody light switch its getting dark.
