I can't name anyone (for their safety) but I recently met a guy who told me that as part of his job, was instructed by an elderly farmer that he had to push an XB Coupe with the blade of his bulldozer into a corner of a property, next to the damn and out of sight and could he please cover it with dirt and make sure it is out of sight. It was apparently the farmer's one owner original. The dozer driver then proceeded to tell me that he hesitated as he knew that these are prized possessions to some, but was told to carried out the job. I then asked him if it was possible to go back there and retrieve the dirt filled classic, resurrect it and maybe breathe new life into it- I thought, Hell! On this forum there are machines being brought back from the grave everyday. He continued to tell me that it would be useless 'cause he also drove over the top of it with his D7 Dozer in the process, turning a rare and loved classic into a pile of scrap. It took me a few days to console myself over this terrible, terrible news and sometimes I find myself laying awake at night wondering what could have been....did I also mention that the XB Coupe was running perfect and could be driven anywhere!
Another one bites the dust! |
