You'd think I woulda noticed something missing when I poked my head inside it just before bidding.......
Lemme tell ya, that was a bad Monday..... I go to the auction in the morning, there's TONS of bidders, everything is going for more than it's worth.... but I'm there on a mission to buy one, hopefully two specific XJ's....... but before the auction even gets close to those XJ's...... my cell phone rings..... the DA's office wants me in last minute to testify in a DUI case....... on the way up there, I get caught in those fierce winds and the truck gets majorly sand blasted, windshield is toast, I haven't brought myself to look at the paint yet........ then I get to court at 11:30 as requested...... only to find out that they're running over on time and they won't get to me until after the lunch break..... I testify at 2pm, get back to Klode's at 2:30..... I talk to a "regular" about the 2 XJ's I had wanted to bid on, but they'd long since been sold, and for way more $$$ than I woulda spent anyway so I walk around to see if there's anything else worth buying..... get out-bid on two other parts XJ's...... and I win the bid on the very last XJ on the run......
And it's a fawkin' 2 wheel drive.......
I guess it was bound to happen sometime huh?
