THE CAME A SHINING KNIGHT...

With the ignominies ending of Egbert came a problem. I was enrolled to do a Grad.Dip.Ed.Sec. at RMIT. In Bundoora. This was fine if I had a car. It was distinctly not fine if I had no car. The interim solution of driving mum's Excell was not acceptable. Mum needed the car. And so once more didst I look upon car point, with a view to a Laser or a Camry. Why, I hear you ask, did you then buy a Galant? The answer is simple. Every car on Carpoint seems to be in the outer suburbs, or out of my price range. I looked at some Lasers and a Camry, but they where shit boxes (as we say in the trade). Then I went to check out a Galant simply 'cause it was in my price range and fairly close.
And lo, it was good. And lo it was fucking awesome. And lo it had electric mirrors and windows, and working Air-con, and a CD head unit, and nifty kit. And lo it's engine needed some work, but lo! It was cheap enough that I could afford to by the car and still have money left for engine work without blowing the budget. So I bought it. And I named it Galahad. And there was much rejoicing.
