Don't tell anyone, but one of the first cars I wanted to buy was a 6cyl XB sedan. Green I think from memory.
Had about a weeks holiday at the end of my last school year (aged 15) before Uncle John (mums brother, RIP) got me a job at Hondat Smash (Miami) as shop job ferret. Worked there two years and half years. Was offered an apprenticeship as a spray painter but stupidly turned it down because I hated wet rubbing. (I only dry rub now days
)
One of the panel beaters called Luke was well respected enough by owner Lindsey * (no relation..he's a Kiwi) that he was allowed to have the back left corner of the panel shop for his own projects.
I forget all the details about the car now days...Ford this, Ford that...more so remember what a great panel beater Luke was and I wanted to own something he brought back to scratch.
Not sure why I never bought it (always listen to your inner voice) as it was about the time I got my license at 17...ended up getting a TD Gemini from some dodgie Southport car yard instead. Ow well..no 121 Bubbles back then. :russell:
