Keith Goes for a TEST DRIVE on his 36th Birthday!

Thursday 15:

Danny rang Ford Australia and found out Sep 15 is Keith's birthday.  He was always a 6 cylinder and originally seated 6.  He has since got a compliance plate for 2.  
Today, he took Keith for a test drive around Scarborough.
 
Friday 16:

Danny takes Keith down the road to the servo for a RWC.  One guy seems a bit daunted by Keith, so he rings another guy who says it will cost at least $450 just to look at him!  Waffled on about the carby matching the reconditioned motor.  Luckily, Poustie convinced as to not to even think about all that stuff.
We asked Mick next door if he knew anyone and recommended a bloke in Clontarf.

Monday 19

Keith goes in for his RWC.  All is good with the engine, lights etc but they can't find the chassis number? There is a compliance plate, but you need the number punched on the chassis somewhere.
Well, there is an inch of blackjack all over the chassis.  Someone says it's on the firewall, someone else on the leftside wheel arch.  Eventually we * find * it there and Keith gets his RWC.
Sammy takes it to Main Roads (while Danny has some medicinal beers) and Keith gets his Rego - no worries at all.  

* Finding * can involve a helpful tip and believing it will all work out.
