Some days the stars align in your favour (A bit pic heavy).

After missing out on a Red MT earlier last week on Ebay, Kendoll kindly offered to sell me one of his at a good price. Since we had a work function on a few days later I decided to drive down to Sydney and kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak and collect the kettle. The trip is an hour and a half each way so needless to say I don’t make that journey by car very often, instead I usually catch the train.

Whilst having a glance on Gumtree I noticed an ad saying “free red Weber Kettle” collect in Sydney CBD. I rang the guy and he said it had been claimed so I asked him if he would consider me 2nd in line if the other person doesn’t come. He said to call him at 8:30pm (exactly when out=r function was ending) and he will let me know. I called him back and he said the other guy never showed so I could come and collect.

When I arrived a few minutes later I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a Red MT! Then he pulls out a genuine Weber cover and utensil holder. He even threw in some utensils.

So on my way home in my little Corolla laden with not one but 2 lovely Redheads (one sitting next to me on the passenger seat) I couldn’t help thinking what are the odds of a  free master touch appearing on Gumtree the only day I’ve driven down with a collection time exactly after our function finishing which was located less than a mile away? Here are a couple of pics.

The 2 Kettles I collected, both were coded EZ. The free one is on the left.


Now alongside my original MT on the right.


All covered up

2 red MT's in one day? did you buy a lottery ticket?

[1buckie]

Some folks up here would absolutely fall over backwards if that happened here !!!!

M/T's are more prevalent in OZ, am I right?

Either way......grate double header !!!!

[JayCee]

Great scores!!! The free one looks to be in great condition too!

Yes it is, a small amount of cleaning and it will come up mint. Looking forward to giving them a good clean & polish soon.

No but I probably should have, mind you I definitely felt like I had won something that day.

Hard to say, you don't see too many on Ebay down here, mainly OTS's. I was very surprised when the second was an MT, particularly red.

Superb scores, JayCee!!! The red is a grail score, indeed!

... I decided to drive down to Sydney and kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak and collect the kettle.

OMG    You killed kendoll for a red kettle! You guys down under are incredibly competitive! No wonder the other guy just gave his up with no questions asked.

Seriously, nice looking kettles! I like the red fade color and have an MT in that color. It's interesting to see the one in the middle has a fade that is much more subtle than the others. I wonder if they were running short of the darker color and were going a little light toward the end of the shift.
