Small world

I was in another town in Indiana going to walmart and when I came out there was someone waiting for me at my car, turned out he was one of the previous owners. He owned since 94 and sold it a couple years ago because he had twins, and never thought he would see it again. Got o hear a little about the cars history it was pretty cool. And he wanted to buy it back, if I ever got rid of it.

That's pretty cool. Did he have any old pics or documents you could get your hands on?

Hi TH,
So, he wasn't the owner you bought it from?
If not, VERY cool!!!
You can imagine how surprised he was to see it; and it sounds like it tugged on his heart a bit!!!
Nice tale.
Regards,
Alan

No I actually bought it from the guy he sold it too. He definitely looked like he missed the car. I am glad he appreciated the changes I have made, a lot of times previous owners don't really see things the same way as the current owner but I'm glad he liked it.
