Default Engine Cover

Hey Max I saw Salesman Bob filling up before driving out of Yass. he had a engine cover which had gun tractor data plates on it. He only had the cover and would not tell me were the rest of the gun tractor was. It is bad enough that the mexicans are pinching our Twuks but them fellas from the Flat country are comming over as well.

He did find that trailer, nearly fell over his own feet trying to get to it.

Hi Max
After leaving you we drove through till 5am and camped at Balranald for a 3 hour kip. Have just arrived home. Thanks for the cook's tour, hope you didn't get into too much strife. We had more adventures but I'll have to download the camera first. Now 1224hrs Saturday. Goodnight.

Hey Bob, did Max at least rent you a sheep while you were there? Keefy says they come well-recommended!

HeyMax, it appears my sabotage work under their truck didn't work while you had them occupied in your shed!!! I should ask Russel for some pointers, he seems to be good at disabling rigs!

Default Re. Lend-Lease Sheep

Hi Jiff

No sheep, no pancakes and Vegemite but I did get to hold Max's Crown Jewels. Photos later. And Robert, there is nothing you could do to sabotage my mate Hugh's truck as his trucks quite often self-destruct so you would be pushing to find something to damage.

Oh and finally, as Ada is cooking Hugh and I breakfast at the moment, we went to another place on the way home where I reckon there were more Blitzs than there are in the whole of Canada.

Default Crown jewels

Bob, I didn't know you were that intimate with Max!

As for the cache of CMPs... c'mon, spill it!

At least some pictures... or are you just talking about the agglomeration of them in the Yass district?

Default Cross-breeding

Hi all
Finally recovered after this field trip. Calculated we travelled 3540kms (@ 2200 miles) that included the SE of South Oz. I'll keep the fun stuff here but post the rest of the trip in the Softskin Forum and put Keefy out of his misery. Keefy, I looked at your site but couldn't find this major location. Its in the Mildura area.

Now as I said, we have so many Blitzs here in Oz that we are now cross- breeding. Here is a Cab 12 Ferret.

No further comment. Just for your interest, in the last post the gantry on the back of the truck was used in the Snowy Mountain Scheme. Now over to the Softskin Forum.

Ahh yes, I've handled Max's green jewels too. Sort of made me go green with envy!

Looks like a brace of Chev cab 12s a little short in the running gear department. Any ARNs or chassis serials?

Mildura, eh? Somehwere on my site there's a location Euan visited... not that one?

Let's see some pics then!
