I don't have it in hand yet but it is secure - a little lime (key lime) to go with my big lime. It's the one from the eBay auction that ended yesterday. That auction was the end of what has been a long, slow trade. When I put my red SnapOn CGA up for trade a few months ago @Golly was the first to contact me. I wasn't interested in selling it, I wanted to use it to leverage out a kettle from my wish list. That included an Aristocrat, Fleetwood, looker Lime 18, looker MBH 'Cado 18, or most anything rare. If what he could find was worth more than the price we agreed on for the SnapOn I would make up the difference. He was able to locate an Aristocrat/red 26" fairly quickly and we agreed on the deal. The grill belonged to a WKC'er in GA, and was in storage. This was right during the super cold weather GA was experiencing and that delayed him going out to dig through all the stuff to find it and its parts. Unfortunately the grillfella couldn't ever find all of the pieces and the deal fell apart. I got with Golly again to see what was next, and it was about that time that this lime showed up on eBay. We agreed that it was deal-worthy so all that was left was for him to win the auction, which he did. This grill is about a 90 minute drive away for me and I'll be picking her up this Sunday. I'll be packing up the CGA this weekend and get it headed on the long trip to Australia. Thanks for the trade Golly, it's been fun!

So awesome!
I kinda surprised by a grillfella who has an Aristocrat in storage and can't find all the parts!?!
If I had one I'd be sleeping with every night

Very cool! A lime 18 is on the long term watch list for me as a unicorn. If one pops up and the stars align, I'll go for it, but for now I am content watching others score theirs! That thing sure is a beaut! Congrats on the trade!

@Rub
Grate to work with you on this deal even if it has been a long journey
Sticking with it has proven to be fruitful (pun intended) to both parties
It's amazing how two grillfellas can find common ground across the world
I'm so excited to get the GA home to meet the blue green and grey
The way this has transpired is kettle karma at its best
I will be awaiting more pics when it's in the truck and after resto
Thanks again @Rub
