Hi all
Well, just came back from my trip to pick up a VMC 110 Canada Dry from Tim (mznb1u)  and might I ad a great guy who was great to deal with, and understanding of the snow lol (and his son was great too! Out at 7 30am on a Sat. to help load up!!!)
As well, I added a Coke 110.  Im sure I could find a better one, but until I do, this one will sit in the garage.  I just figured since Im out 5hrs away from home, it doesnt cost much more on gas or the trailer since Im out there.

My wife allowed me to go get the VMC 110, but when I came home, she saw the 2 machines in the garage, and told me to make my own dinner tonight  :down:  She's not talking to me :oh:

So, now the Canada Dry is infact in Canada!  My plan is to have it restored to a Canada Dry once again, thinking to have the same decals on the sides, but for the front go with a lettering style logo, similar to that of the fantasy Orange Crushs' out there, but in the Can. dry colours (thats how we spell color lol)

As for the machine itself, I thought about the white top, CD green bottom, but I might just stay with the solid green for the entire machine.  But, again, it will be at least a year till I tackle that.  I have SO much painting to to in my house, that if I started to restore a machine, my wife would leave me! lol

The Coke 110, will get done as well one day.  I just thought that by the time I get around to it, the 110's might be at a price like the 81's are now.... so I got it now and it's over with (The machine is solid, with ALL parts there but a few missing shelfs) and it def. needs a new kick plate.

Here are the pics of the ladies!

P.S. Anyone have any extra 110 shelfs around willing to sell?  lol

        Great! There a lot of Coke 110's around but very few of them with the large coin door. That, plus the coin mech, bezels and compressor could be borrowed for the next 81 that comes your way.
        You didn't ask for opinions on the Canada Dry but I'm going to give you mine. If you two-tone it you will have to choose a point where to divide the colors. By comparing it to your Coke it looks as the dividing line would be in the center of the door latch.....way too low. Or you would be able to make the logo smaller but that is a large machine, as you know. You have 3 V-81's in solid colors, this 110 will look awesome all green

Great scores and silence is golden :-)

Get the 110 Pepsi on ebay, and you'll be half way to collecting all the 110s; similar to your collection of 81s.

I do the "I got something, you get something trade"...probably not great for the wallet, but it keeps both parties happy!  Either way, those are both great scores, I really like the Canada Dry 110

I might have two or three extra shelves.

Great score

I like the 110 Canada dry machine

So, you're saying it's a "win/win" situation?

Just to smooth things over, I watched a chick flick with her last night, and bought some tulips for her today on my way home from work.
I think we're good now lol

An old saying states:
It takes two weeks for forgiveness, but a lifetime for permission!

ROFL.. if thats all it took.  :laugh:

Also, try doing things like making dinner and doing the dishes.  I have a warehouse full of good will due to some domestic housework.

Good luck.

Yeah, My wife stopped naggin me about buying stuff (out of my own account mind you)... years ago when a trip to Mexico popped up, some jewelry, a new pool, Bathroom remodel... she now sees my collecting and restoring as just something I do...

It's all good, but I still get crap about not doing the dishes...  :oh:

My War Department Has not Complaned Since I got Her a New Convertible For Christmas a couple years ago

 :laugh:

Well not Much Anyway .
