The Beachcombers

Leadfoot (9x8)

Air date: Dec 14, 1980

Jesse's ancient Model A has been sitting in Ace Repairs for over a month waiting for a part that nobody makes any more. The lack of transportation sends Nick into Vancouver on a car buying expedition and into a mad impetuous affair with an exotic Ferrari. The car causes Nick a good deal of aggravation and Jesse insists that he should drive it. Constable Norman gives Nick a ticket every time he gets the thing into third gear and the car eats gas and money. Nick in the end returns to his senses and gives thought to some more practical means of transportation.
