Default Free To Good Home . . . With a Twist

It seems to me that it's been a while since we've had a feel-good community free-to-good-home thread. So . . .

I've installed Roger's short shifter kit, and I'm giving away a 928 International short shift lever for 85-95 928s, part number SHIFT2, value new $85. Very few hours on it.

BUT there's a catch.

In order to get the short shifter, you have to give away something else of value, and someone else has to want it.

So, for example, you might say, "I'll take your short shifter if someone will take my widget." You don't get the shifter till person 2 says, "I'll take your widget if someone will take my gadget." Then I send you the shifter, and person 2, who wants your widget, doesn't get it until person 3 says, "I'll take your gadget if someone will take my whatsit."

If, after a reasonable time, nobody accepts the whatsit, then person 3 should offer something else or say "never mind" so that someone else can offer something for the gadget.

And so on and so forth for as long as it lasts. (No, the whole mess doesn't unwind when something isn't taken; the last person whose offer was accepted gets to keep his swag, and the first person whose offer was not accepted doesn't get any swag.)

Clear?

Unless the man doing the waking was also the one doing the sleepin. While the sleepin man listened to a proposition from he who did the wakin.

Where did you get that from?
(Or conversely, are you sure you didn't take a harder hit?)
Colin, By the way, I'm relieved you and yours are OK.
Loss of the car truly sucks though.
All the best,

That was from Jack sparrow in the first of the series.

It was about as confusing as the first post so I thought it fair

I am fine though. Now back on topic!

I don't need it seeing as how I have the updated shifter on all my cars.

I think Marks idea is a good one.

It's a pity the thread has become a train wreck so quickly, but it's bloody funny nonetheless.

I didn't understand the Jack Sparrow quote when Jack said it and now I do.

Now (ignoring the peanut gallery) if someone wants your air pump, you can have my short shifter.

In the spirit of this thread, if someone else wants the shifter and has a "trade" to offer, get it posted.

I have an automatic, but I have a brand new blue air pump hose from the pump to the valve. Anyone want to do a trade up for it, post something else. It was for an 86.

I'm interested in the short shifter and before I offer my widget...

I’d like to know why 928rus short shifter kit is superior to the offered gadget cuz I just may need to go straight to rog's place

Any past thread info on this would be appreciated.
