Border Raiding...

[Howard]

Gentlemen,
We have been following with interest and mirth, the SA/Vic border raiding epidemic. However, I must say, this practice must stop NOW!
I am following up on a 'strong rumour'. All members in Southern NSW, be on the look out for bloody Mexicans raiding rusty stuff that belongs here in NSW, and more importantly, if it really needs to be relocated, would look a whole lot better at Ganmain!! #12 Fords MUST NOT, repeat, MUST NOT be allowed into Victoria!
Now. Come on. 'Fess up. Which NSWelshman has been conspiring with the Victorians?? reveal yourself, Sir, and we may consider a plea of insanity & be leanient...

I met a guy here in Ballarat who has recently aquired 3 F60L Cab 12`s from up NSW some where as well as a jeep , I suggested he raids more towards perth next time .

[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?

[Howard]

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!

[aj.lec]

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

[Plushy]

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

See, now we are thinking rationally...
Plushy, I want names... Or Andrew & I will be all over you like a monkey ripping into a cup-cake.

[Plushy]

No Names , but i will put up some photos soon just to rub it in a bit

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

I only have 6 cab 12s now after letting a couple go and 2 of those that I have will be used for parts
so how many in Ganmain

G'Day Maxie!
Well, lets see. There's Mine, There's Tony's, There's the yellow one with the Russian flag on it (previously posted), Plus 2x F60L's on one farm, Plus one cab on the same farm... That's 5 1/2.
As a percentage of human population, I'd say that's pretty high...

So Ganmain (former centre of the cab 12 universe) is running neck and neck with Yass (current centre of the cab 12 universe). The tension is electric

And another contender is Jim Bennie with five (2 are just partial cabs)...

[Mike K]

What about the lineup at the former airbase ..Truscott ...

I gotta go with Howard here, especially if we're counting 12-cab per local population base! Yass would be a close second methinks...

If we're scoring on the basis of "Per-Capita" cab 12's, I think Mike picked the winner. Although Truscott might have a transient population of oil-field workers, the trucks themselves are nearby at a locality called West Bay, population, 2 Crocodiles!

No wonder there seem to be more CMPs being found in Australia than any where else their using aerial reconnaissance to find them.

Speaking of CMPs per capita does anybody have an idea which country has the most known CMPs per capita?

Cheers Phil

Hi Max bring your truck around next week I have a free 12 cab down the road and its all your old fella. That will F--K Ganmain's claim to being the centre of the 12 Cab universe.


So the centre of the 12 cab universe will be

[Max Hedges]

well I wasn't counting the exta cabs that I have in storage so that would give me another 4 or 5 and the population of willow vale is only 3

we are looking good to me

it has been said earlier that Yass is the black hole of the universe where all the cab 12s are ending up

Max...

[Max Hedges]

Mark we had better get on to that one just in case that Howard fella finds any more

[lynx42]

So with all these Cab12's around, does any-one have a set of engine sideplates to spare? I need the full engine cover for my Ford F60L. Can't drive it to Corowa next year without them as there's too many spark jumps to my left boot, apart from the heat etc. without them.
Here's hoping,
Rick

Rick, I had heard that those spark jumps were actually what kept you "recharged" as a functional cyborg? That's what they say anyway...

Believe me, Max, I am looking harder now than I ever have....

[Howard]

What time does y'ass open?

[hrpearce]

Nothing can hide from aerial reconnaissance

[Dinty]

G'day All, I just love the crap that going on here LOL , but I'm curious what is hiding out at the corner of Queen St E and Ashdale Ave, ?? that has to be over in Nth America anyway cheers and yes what time does your Y'ASS open bl***y clever people in here cheers Dennis

[hrpearce]

Dennis in the new year thread Jif posted a picture of that intersection out of his window so I was playing with my new broadband and decided to see if I could find it
