Here you go guys...heres what started my T-car obsession. Back in those days I used to use real film none of this barry whiteing digi doodoo. But I just found the memory card from my old phone and found some pics of my old girl Gemma.
I bought her with winnings from 2001 Channel Z Big Day Out Banner Competition and fell hard!! She was 4speed full of rust repairs and more rust for me to search and destroy!
She died after my brother got hold of the keys one night. I was coma'd out and my mates were still charging, I wake up and hear a car going nuts out in the street and rush out to see that it is mine!!! I was feckin spewing koz i treated her like a queen (a rusty feral queen lol) 2 weeks later she seized right on spaghetti junction at rush hour!
A while later I bought my 1st parts car and swap nout the engines, what a waste of time engine is stuffed and I have no experience or funds to fix it... managed to get engine in by myself tho... find another engine with a 5speed in the T&E in some dudes back yard. Wow what an improvement!!!
My new girlfriend (now wife) helped me get that sucker in, a couple of dodhy rust repairs later she was on road.
Then I decide to bring her full circle and paint her up as a Big Day Out Banner for the Channel Z comp for BDO'2003. I came 1st equal. You can't quite see in the pics but it is a massive crowd of random people and popular tv/movie/comic charcters stating on passenger door with the trademark BDO twin stages with 2 bands playing on the tailgate (and a massive moshpit) with the crowd continuing round to the drivers door.
Early in 2003 me and the Mrs decided to go camp out in Gemma at Piha. We were in Browns bay and she broke down.
I called a mate who took us back to my place in Massey to get tools/parts and returned an hour later and some low down rotten skanky ass mofo had run up her ass!!!!! I was devastated!!
I immediately went knocking on doors and found that it was a white contractors type truck. I did the whole CSI thing and collected evidence. Debris, things that had come off the tray, bits of the truck (grill, footrest etc) and then we went driving round the block my mate thinking we'd get nowhere but humoring me because i was soooooooo pished off!!
And I found the Mrs Frunt'ma runt. His bloody engine was still warm. Cut a long story short he drove home from the pub wasted and collected my gem on the way. Gave me $1500 for her and didnt want the coppers involved.
Some day when i get access to a scanner i will post up some more pics of the artwork... car was pretty standard but I loved her enough to start my stupid obsession.
