NO Cars, NO Moose, just SALSA!!!! The auction started at 10am so we had to get up at 9 in order to make it. So half asleep the three of us turn up to the auction, where we discover that we have to pay $10 just to take part and that we only have 30 mins to look at the cars. Looking at the cars on offer through the fence we quickly decide that this is a rip off. So instead we decide to go for a cup of coffee...Mario style!! A service station called holiday does a ...

Mario took us to a little cafe where we had a country brea...

Bertha!! This morning we had arranged a viewing of a car we'd found on Craigslist, we had tried to see it the night before but hadn't been able to find it!! So Mario drove us across town again and this time we spotted it straight away at the adress we had...it didnt look too bad from the outside!!
