ROFLMAO! It mows upside down. Wow!

CP rumour has it that IKEA is coming to Cairns. I wonder?

Geoff and I loved that one cookie.  Gotcha Gert LOL. I had trouble coming to terms with the fact your DH would buy a Corvette cookie, it just didn't seem to fit somehow.

Uh oh. The photo inverted on the way to Cairns.  ;D ;D

I wish he would buy one Judy. I'd love it, but then the insurance would probably be a killer. I will have to ask Gayle.

DH picked it up cheap somewhere or other, has shone it up and fixed something or other and is now mowing the lawn with it. No doubt it will be on Gumtree tonight. Bet he is too scared to advertise it as a Red Corvette for sale. ;D ;D

I will have to google to see what a corvette looks like (the one you can sit in that is).

I will be a fuss pot and ask for it in red. ;D ;D
DH had a great idea this morning about raffling it for a bit of a joke and to raise funds for our Children's Hospital. There is a car show on in early May and the Model A stand (ours) is near the Chev Corvettes. Apparently it is a very old mower so it can go with all the other old cars. The Corvette owners would probably give us $$$ to remove it.
Being able to say I bought a Red Corvette at the Classic Car Show may carry some weight. :D

What a great idea, you two are so funny.  I must admit I also thought a corvette didn't quite fit with your other cars!  Nice to have a laugh,thanks.
