Sold My Van !!

Post by dunedog »

Well it's a sad day, :cry: I sold my van, but not the plow or winch, may need them yet.
A guy followed me home and just loved the rig and pulled a wad of cash out to wave under my nose.
We dickered a bit but finally struck a price o f $3500.00 so I couldn't refuse.
I'll be looking to pick up something so everyone keep there eyes and ears open for me ....thanks Dune.










boy I miss Peter on days like this......April Fools !!! :supz:

ahright, well you got some postin' to do then.. single smilies by the dozens in response to a post, snarky comments by the hundreds, big shoes to fill.
On the more serious side, this site has become somewhat of a home for me, so I don't like to see my brethren leave
