    Anyone from east of Ballston Spa NY "Vacationing" west of Lansing, Mi with their empty car trailer? Maybe looking for a little money for fuel to help transport a couple thousand pounds of yule tide?

    Anyway, I am purchasing a lump that will need to be dragged a quarter way across the country, if anyone is heading this way in the next few weeks let me know.

    A "boosted Ford product with small tires" is all that I will own up to.

    It's not stock, they didn't make them this way and you may or may not have seen pictures.

    You'd think two Merkurs would be all the German goodness a human could tolerate in one lifetime.

    I have copies of 36 Merkur titles, including the recent ill bought Scorpio that has left my possession. As nice as that car looked from every angle including on the hoist, I have never seen a car fight so hard to come apart at the seams.

    IF IT IS another Merkur, it will be a hard top, with two doors with manual windows, a front mounted intercooler and a non stock transmission and rear end... the vehicle I am purchasing does feature all of these things.

    TRog, if it's what I think it is, it's off the table.

    The new Mayor has cleaned it up quite a bit. Several upscale restaraunts on Front St., no one can afford to rent in Saratoga. The first Friday of every month (First Friday) shops are open later, street musicians; my wife hangs out at a jewelry store that sells her wares and the hens have wine and appetizers. Nice little village. Now with a nanochip factory moving in, employing 10,000 people, property values are headed way up. Glad I got mine for $38,000.

    If you ever come back look me up.

    Back on topic, IF over the next month someone is heading east from upstate New York and will have access to a trailer. let me know... OR if there is a vehicle you need delivered to the Albany/eastern upstate area, contact me to set up an attractive shipping deal.

    Obviously, you would be too busy derailing threads for money.
