Hi Mowerfreak,
You will probably freak out when reading this you'd better get ready for this one! It really is unbelievable!
What do you think the chances would be of me actually finding one of this exact same model Victa lawnmower as the one you showed me last night on ebay? Seriously? What would the chances be?
Well I am still pinching myself and it doesn't seem real but there was one of these exact same lawnmowers sitting next to a pile of hard rubbish down the road today!!! No bull!!! I thought geees that top cowl looks very similar to the one that you showed me that was available on ebay out in the country. Anyway as I got closer I couldn't believe my eyes when it was the exact same mower! I looked at the Silver Streak decal on the cowl and i'm thinking can this be for real!!! Seriously!!! Well yep it's damn serious alright!!!
It even had the original black catcher sitting on the ground next to it, I just put the catcher on the back and walked it home.
I had a really weird feeling walking it home and i'm saying to myself, I can't believe I found the exact same mower that we saw here on ebay last night!!! This can't be happening!!! It's not real!!!
I swear if there is an Outdoorking record book or an Outdoorking Uncanny forum this story would have to go straight there!!!
It still seems like a dream and I can't believe I actually have that mower now sitting in my shed tonight! It's also the best condition alloy deck Victa that I have ever found with the original thumb latch catcher that I can actually use when I get it going! The top cowl has a few cracks and the catcher has a small crack on one side of the front lip but it's nothing much to worry about. Also it looks like they have replaced the handle bolts and plastic nuts with newer later style ones. But hey at the price I got it for who can complain! lol
If only I was this lucky when it comes to lotto i'd be a millionaire now! lol Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket this week!
I took a couple of photo's of it just before outside, it was dark but they seem ok for viewing!
