He has some more which are worth a look such as cutting new valve seats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDEJ3coQa14

Hi Scott

The A little embarassing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cGEg_lQpwk is a classic, how many of us have seen this happen or been the unfortunate focus of other peoples cameras as it happens to us. Always bad to be the biggest or heaviest MV in your club parade group, hard to tow a Half-Track with a Jeep. He atleast had the tow cable just nothing to get towed by.

Wonder what kind of camera and mount they were using in the Halftrack - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxLVENgMv4U video very crisp and no sign of vibration from the very end it looks like it was some kind of magnetic mount stuck out on the armor.

Enjoyed them all will be sharing the A Little Embarassed in or club newsletter.

Cheers Phil

Hi Scott

Thanks for the link, that really looks like a neat system and the waterproof cases and shock resistant design would be great for taking trail ride photos and video.

Cheers Phil

Who remembers Wobbie's World in Melbourne? Any theme park with a Carrier has real style.

Better still, who went for a ride?

Hi Keith

Now that was my type of amusement park, I take it that Woffie's World is no more, falling pray to health, safety an insurance companies.

In its day though I bet the kids loved it.

Cheers Phil
