This is my first Gemini 'Gemma' purchased with winnings from a radio station comp to paint a banner for Big Day Out. Prize was 2k cash, 10 tickets to BDO, 1k clothes vouchers, 1k CD vouchers and I think something else. Was split 2 ways tween me and a mate.
The gem wag cost me $900 and I had never heard of a Gemini until I saw this car... so I got the car early 2001 and the next year decided to paint the car itself as my banner entry. Won first equal so got half the prize (again lol)
The car has a crowd of people starting on the door with the BDO main stages on the tail gate wrapping right round to the other door.
I broke down one day and went for parts to fix and came back and found it smashed.
Went all CSI on the mofo and interviewed locals, collected evidence, was a light contractors truck, had dropped broken bits of truck as well as debris from the tray, buckets, tools etc as he was a plasterer.
Drove around the neighbourhood and found the truck within 15mins, c*#t wouldnt come out and cops wouldn't come out (part of the reason I fukn hate them, law abiding citizen and every time I have ever needed them they have failed me- only good for handing out tickets!)
Next day the guy came and saw me and wrote me a cheque for $1500 (he was pissed as a newt hence not appearing on the night, had his wife try telling me he had been home all night yet his engine was still warm!)
Anyway the paintings on the car was a who's who of cartoon characters, TV and movie characters and so on... was the sort of thing you could sit and look at pointing out various characters for ages... loved that car.
If I find close ups will post em up, have a sketch book full of photos (pre-digital ohhhhhh) but no idea where to start looking for it!
Worst news was I had $1500 and couldn't find another Gemini wagon, they are quite thin on the ground in NZ... so ended up with a Mazda Familia 1.3 poverty spec model. It would be years before I started over compensating and ended up with 2 gem wagons and several Chevettes... now a full blown hoarder, have 8 gems and chevettes at my place right now :?
