Thought I'd share this with you all....
Found this on the side of the road, in a pile of junk/trash. I didn't see it until I turned around cuz my gut said, "There's something there." So at the risk of embarrassment (sp) as cars whisked by, I dug through the trash and low and behold, this was under all the rubble. I was alone and you ought to have seen me trying to get this piece in my 1997 BMW 318i trunk!!! That didn't work, so I tried putting it sideways in my back seat...Nope! Raced to borrow a friend's van....just hoping no one would "steal" it (this baby was mine...I had bruises from lifting it myself for days!!!) before I could get back. I won the prize, took it home and threw a little wood oil on it....man, I felt like I hit the lottery!!! (BTW...hate to dust and this hasn't been dusted since. It actually looks much better when cleaned up!!! : )
Anywaz....anyone know anything about this piece? Any hints?
