Last flight of the ForkenSwift... I've held on to the shell for all these years because I really wanted to turn it into either (A) a pedal car, or; (B) yard art. But if it hasn't happened by now, it's probably not going to happen! It hurt a wee bit to say goodbye. The wreckers eased the pain by giving me $91 for the carcass, which was honestly more than I was expecting. It was mostly iron oxide with a bit of blue paint on it!
