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 dont 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 doesnt 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 couldnt help thinking what are the odds of a free master touch appearing on Gumtree the only day Ive 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
Thanks for looking
