Yep your right with the rain part.You still didn't tell me which tip you went to.
Did you want a VC-160 auto drive mark I? As I have a spare one here which I don't really need.It is missing a lot of the auto drive parts.I was holding it for someone,but I really don't think they want anymore.It's not as good as my good one,but it's a great start it has it's original engine.Here is some pictures of it.

Yeah its a side catcher for the earlier ones, like the Princess. They look real good when they are on. Dont think it fits your auto though.

I like the ealier auto drive too, but Ill take any one I can get. Not much comes up in slum city.

And Shhhhhh Dont tell him where the cave of wonders are, there wont be any left for me!...lols.

That's the one Blumbly one of the best looking Victa's ever made IMHO...Thanks for the offer but it would have to get in line and that would be about 50th place.. I will get my hands on one someday smile.... oh yeah my tip I cant tell you that would be nothing left for me grin.... but the tip at Warwick QLD has a tonne of old mowers but like all the tips I go to nothing lasts long If you dont buy it when u see it it's gone! wink....

Well then that's not very nice,lol.Warwick a bit to far for me to go.You can have those buggers all to yourself.That's OK I'll work it out which one,there's not that many around here.Must be on the north side.

The tip shop at Noosa (sunshine coast) was good lots of mowers... I got an old Nintendo entertainment system and about 20 games few rare ones still in there boxes for $10, Gave a collector a call said make me offer he said $400!, was like ok sounds good rockon....

I would be flat out selling one of my restored mowers for $100 but then I don't do it for money just the enjoyment of restoring something to the best of my ability and a sense of achievement at the end of it,and that's something money can't buy... smile
