Red razor edge ghia been sitting in the alleyway where i used to work for quite a few months now, and i was wondering if it belonged to any of you guys?? Its in the alley between 4th and 5th with Fir as the cross street, down next to Granville Island.(behind the Lazy Gourmet) just asked because its been sitting for so long and i thought it would be sad to see it go down hill anymore?if not it might be worth leaving a note on it just incase the owner wants rid???

go get it, el flech.

ask around the neighbourhood and try and find the owner. it would be a shame to see it rot into the ground.

Hum...i'm thinking that even Geoff would be a very brave man to try and restore that one! She's pretty rusty!

I work round the corner now . if i can drag my ass out of bed early enough i'll see if i can find out who it belongs too and post what i find out on here tomorrow? Unless anyone else wants to. I guess it would help if a whole bunch of people don't turn up or the dood or doodette might think its worth a packet..

There was a 62 on ebay the other day with a starting bid of $800. Too bad the Americans don't like me  :(
