Mario's cart is ready!!! (Swarm 19 update)

Well, Mario's cart will be ready on Monday - I'm leaving the final shine to the last minute, as every time I turn around there is a new layer of dust on it.  But all the mechanical stuff has been done (except for fastening the new seats back on - hopefully everything aligns).

I was planning on delivering it to Mario at Perry's Fish 'n' Chips.  Mario hasn't seen the cart yet, so my plan is to take him to Perry's, get him lunch and then drive the cart to the restaurant and hand over the key.  And watch him drive off.  So if you can make it to Perry's, I will be there at 1pm next Monday (24th) and hand over the key at about 1:30pm.

I'm sure Perry would appreciate being able to sell a few more lunches and/or beers.  This time at normal prices - no donations needed.  In fact I have collected more than spent, and I said I was going to give the overage to Niños Incapacitados - but I am going to hold on to it for a few months in case anything else is discovered when the cart gets driven around for a while.  There is also someone looking into a solar charger for it.  But if, after three months, there has been no further costs, I will donate to NI.

Hopefully you can make it and see what a difference you've made in this kid's life.  Thanks for all your help and support these past few weeks.

I will be there to witness the results of your hard work Phil.    

For those of us who do not go to swarms, for whatever reasons, would one of you like to share just what this heartwarming story is all about????

You guys have done a really really good thing. Congratulations.

UPDATE to the update. Mario will be out of town on Monday visiting family. He will be back at the end of March, so I am going to change the date of the handover to APRIL 1st (no joke) same time (1pm), same place (Perry's).
I am assuming that it is ok to start a new thread so this update appears in a heading? I don't want anyone to not realize nothing is going to happen this Monday.
