So it probably can be had for the right price!
What is it? Is it the sort of thing that desperatly
needs saving? I
probably can't pick it up myself, as it is in the wrong state and I
suspect a car with a trailer may still have trouble bringing it back, but
I hope there is someone here from Melbourne or Sydney who can handle it.
:)
A little research has shown that this beast may not be all that big -
perhaps like a fat 6 foot rack. If so, a trailer could handle it.
Those Convex machines are very nice looking, by the way - black and
yellow. And even if it is a bit old, it could still beat the hell out of
PeeCee in the performance department.
In any case, someone please grab it.
