For anyone who cares to read my ramblings may remember that one of my major peeves about old vehicles are those that are left to rot because someone with, no more experience of vehicles than a two legged hamster, intends to fix it up, one day....
When I came to Canada in 2002 there was a perfectly reasonable Fargo Truck in a yard adjacent to one of our new friends. I approached the owner with $$$'s when the UK to CND exchange rate was over 2.5. So for very little I was prepared to pay him $4000 Cnd.
It is still there to this day, sunk to the floor in mud, 2 trees growing through the cab and the cargo box. It has been home to 10+ years of Squirrels, Mice and Snakes.
Should I be upset, maybe not, after all it was/is his to do as he likes. So why am I still p****** off after all these years.... ??
Photo that maybe serves to explain.

Hi Peter,
Although it's frustrating to watch and is a terrible waste it's almost worth it just to get pictures like the one you just posted.
