Default Why was a Blitz named "Aunty Jack"?

Aussies over 40 will probably get it...



Here's a clue

Default Over 40!

Your pic wasn't there Keith but my suggestion as why name a Blitz truck after Aunty Jack would be along these lines.
For anyone who has driven a Blitz across loose dry sand full of others wheel ruts...
" I'll rip your bloody arms off "

I do remember seeing somewhere an armoured GMC or Studi truck from the Vietnam era restored as new will the name "Terminator" (as in Arnie) not really accurate in time lines but what the hey.

I'm not old... I'm 37.

Full marks!
I wonder why the pic has disappeared - I can still see it - it's just a link to a pic on the Aunty Jack site.

The url link should take you to an audio file of the song.

Yes, typical Geocities - it's been ditched. Wayne had it right.

Here she is.
