i suppose the roof racks wouldnt take the weight..

Believe me mate, I sure as hell wont be lifting them up there! You'll see what I mean when I drop the big log around :D

Those look like Washingtonian palms or Mexican fan palms

Yeh, Im getting all excited!

Those are the spare parts from taking the seat out of your car!

Incorrect! :wink:

So I got the logs home without any dramas. This gives you an idea of the size of them

You get the camera out, and all the dogs want to do is pose... :roll:

The correct answer for the pile of parts is they're tiki anatomy! The wrench (we call em shifting spanners) is tongue-like thing (?), and the bolts/nuts/washers have been put together to make cool tiki eyes!

This threaded rod will be cut up to make tiki teeth

And I finished carving this thing, and threw on the first coat of paint. It will get another coat, then get a black wash for that cool old feel. The plan is a grass skirt, and surfboard behind him.

Oh yeh, I went to a local car show which includes a swap meet as part of it. Sometimes you find some cool vintage gear, even the occasional tiki mug. Unfortuneately, I dont think this counts! I didnt even bother checking the price
