Well done Greg. Robert, does that mean you now have a helper around the farm?

Rick Greg is going to try a part time job on Wednesday to see if he can handle it. I will put him to work around here on other days to get him used to working.

Default Year 12 formal

The year 11 food teck class catered for the year12's graduation tonight and it was a great success. The food was well presented the speatches short and the background music quiet enough to allow normal convisation around the tables.

He will be better off running it on gas LOL

My XF got a new 4.1 donk last year . The Borg Warner autos are long lasting if you dont thrash them . Still lots of XF's on the road around here , they are a favourite BOGAN car Ford kept that front end from 1960 in the XF's

Hi Mike.

You'd be old enough to remember the ads on TV for the new Ford Falcon with the 'Million Pound Drive' front suspension. They were spruiking that it had cost a million pounds to develop what was a not very well executed McPherson strut. Within a few years it wasn't that unusual to see a Foul-can (We always called them that, we were a GM family) on the side of the road with a front wheel back underneath the car due to the failure of the fore and aft stabiliser rod. Not impressed.

David (Still a GM man)

I drove the XF to a bull sale near Holbrook yesterday and it runs along nicely. It is booked in to have the brakes fixed on Thursday then Greg can start driving it.
