My XY bash car is currently on loan to a Ford dealer as a training tool for his apprentices and young tradesmen who have little to no knowledge of carbies, drums, non power steering, manual locks and windows and all the other goodies from the 20th century.

In return I get every part of the car refurbished (some parts several times).
