Jo Holgate's F15A
 

Jo (Howard's wife) is the proud owner of this F15A and she and Howard paid it a visit today. Howard asked me to post this pic of Jo with her truck. The pic was taken some time ago.

:thup: :thup:

A side view
 

The chassis has been extended at some time.

new truck
 

The lawn looks a little dry! I hope driving over it didn't do any damage.

... Ms Mud-puddle is way too good for Howard! Spoiled rotten he is...

:sheep:

(Pssst... Jo! Make 'im build yours before he builds his own... that'll teach 'im who's Boss! :yappy:

Data plate
 

Here's a pic of the data plate for Howard...

Jo's Truck
 

As Keefy said, Tony & I managed to find a couple of hours to check out the old girl (the truck) & make preparations for it's journey into town, about 15km.
We removed the radiator and drained the sump of about 10 liters of chrystal-clear water. A real mystery as to how it got in there as air filter & breather cap, bonnet & engine cover are all fitted! :eek:

Plot thickens...
 

Interesting enough.
But look at this. we have a similar thingy to Tonys mystery F15 .
Jo's engine number & Chassis number match, being 3G60423F.
I asked Keefy to post the data plate as I wasn't sure if the plate belonged to Jo's truck.
It appears as if Tony's truck dingbat has struck again????
3G6042F
Shows as being a '42 built in '44!?
Anyone have any ideas?

Nice wife, lovely kids, and the truck looks like it will come up fine.

What more could a man ask for

Interesting point #2
 

Trivial to most, but regulars here would know my F15 was my Grandfathers. Well this F15A was his brother-in-law's and the two trucks went all over the state together on fishing, shooting and family holidays...
I have photos of the two of them together in the 50's (somewhere)...

Thanks, Col
 

Other than a shite load of money, honestly, not much...

I s'pose you COULD ask for friends who aren't needling bastards all the time, but then that would be too much, wouldn't it? :D

Way to go, Holgate clan! Ganmain grows bigger as we speak... :thup:

Great!
My wife Jo won't even come near my truck, let alone owning one herself. But if I drove up in a jeep. . . :rolleyes

Hey Jo ... awesome wheels :thup: I look forward to seeing more photos of it and you driving it!!!

Have fun!

(I just LOVE the RED EARTH of Australia and have NO idea why I feel so excited and uplifted every time I see images of it. I know, I'm strange ... :D )

Ah ... poor Master Hanno ... maybe if you painted it a color of her choice? :D
