Border Raiding...

[Keith Webb]

There's a certain gun tractor owner heading back from Perth to Mexico with a load including the remains of 2 25pdr limbers on board.

Will he manage to evade the tough border patrols in South Australia?

Don't try to change the subject, Keefy!
Pulshy, I demand names! Multiple #12 cab wrangling?!
I think it is about time I ran for Parliament. Or form a#12 cab protection lobby.
Something has to be done!

There are multiple cab 12 sanctuaries evolving in n.s.w.
To the border raiders , a friendly warning that if they come poaching they had better be able to run faster than 3200 feet per second
I think we should declare marshall law and call N.S.W. a blitz and vintage sanctuary

With steel prices as high as they are now many derelicts are going for scrap. One scrapper here just dumps them in the shredder and they are gone forever! I hope this trend doesn't continue!

Paul, According to my local scrappie, China is currently paying the same for shredded scrap now that they were paying for brand spankn' mterial just 12 months ago. I have been to clearing sales where some historically valuable material has gone to the shredder before today & I suspect that it will get even harder as time goes by & prices continue to rise.
Personally, I have a good relationship with a couple of the local scrappies. Get on to their truck drivers, I have been given a 'heads up' on treasure before the scrap is picked up & have been able to find homes for several items. One scrap truckie has told me if I can unload it, I can have it... he has offered to keep the treasure on the top of the load so it can be scabbed off. Talk to them, Paul, and you never know what might present itself!

Scrappies, or Victorians, which is worse?
At least scrappies don't say "ha-ha! look what I got!!!"

[aj.lec]

just remember Howard
border raiding can work the other way as well

We get a lot of external simms metal scrappies come in to this area and they will not deal even when you offer more than their scrap value .They have scrapped some serious gear in the last few years

No names just yet Howard . But we are going to have to have a chat about where the centre of the Cab 12 universe is as it seems to be moving south. There are now 6 Cab 12`s in the Ballarat District . It could be worse they could have gone to S.A
