Default He bought a jeep

Hi Guys

He bought a Jeep! Yes he bought a Jeep, Yes, a Jeep. He obviously did not view it before he handed over the cash.

Cheers

Tony

Default Hmm

Coat of OD, some white stars, and once he has the right taillights that would be fine personal transport ...

All you have to do to draw a crowd is lift the bonnet/hood! I suppose a twin NIKE powerplant is worth looking at. Fantastic fuel consumption figures.

Even has a safety rear mirror to stop you running over the family goat while backing out of the driveway.

Soon a factory in India will buy the tooling, and start producing them.

What a fine piece of machinery.

I'm sure that I've seen worse in Marathon auctions.

The really scary part, Jack, is that somewhere in Ottawa right now, there are probably a bunch of bureaucrats looking at that vehicle as a viable military purchase and are desperately trying to find the builder to award him a huge contract, complete with a fat penalty fee they shall pay him should they decide to cancel down the road!

Default Guv'mint ? P'tew !

The standard of government in Canada sounds to be on a par with ours.
They showed no interest in the Victa Airtourer while the company was Australian. Despite the best efforts of the Victa corporation to get the Australian government interested in purchasing the aircraft, it was only after the aircraft production division of the company was sold off to a New Zealand company and everything moved across the Tasman that the decision was made to adopt it as the RAAF basic trainer.

One fiasco among many.
