This clearing sale is some 20km from my place.
I checked out the collection a few years ago.
There is NOTHING TO SEE and NOTHING OF VALUE, so the best bet would be to STAY HOME AND SAVE YOUR FUEL.
Yes, Yes, I know there appears to be some treasures, but they are.... umm... CARDBOARD CUTOUTS, and, umm... blitz facsimiles that are really... umm... BEDFORDS! Yeah, that's right, Bedfords! You know the model... The ones that LOOK like a CMP but are realy very ordinary Isuzu Bedfords and early... ummm... Daewoos...!
Me, being the top bloke that I am, will force myself to go, and I promise to report back on how CRAPPY the collection is and how attending the sale would have been a WASTE OF YOUR TIME...
You can either thank me now, or thank me later.

What a heap of junk! I don't know why you posted that link Luke, or why I studied those photos so closely. Stop wasting my time.

.......now, where's my suitcase?

Yes, the ones that sound like blitzes are probably just rusty civvy "ACCO blitzes".

Take my advice, let Howard be the MLU representative and reporter. He's being environmentally friendly saving you lot all that fuel.

I'm not even going, even though it's close to Temora!

So we're all looking forward to your detailed report, Howard.

I didnt notice that sale either.... gee now that Ive seen it, I suppose I'd better get along to it.

From memory it is a bitch of place to get to. Most of you would be likely to get horribly lost or bugger your vehicle from the dreadful roads.

Even worse you could suffer some unfortunate fate at the hands of a Marrar local....

You all know it will be a "MLU" reunion there. So you better divvy it all up now before the bitching starts after the auction. That little semi looks cool and NO! I won't be there but I'd have that in a flash

Colin.

But seriously, folks...

I really, really, really, really, want to put dibs on the F15A.
You should have seen it when I last saw it, about 5 or 6 years ago.
It looks like the shed wall has fallen down since then exposing the truck to the northern sun & weather. It is amazing how much it has deteriorated.

So, who is coming? I would love to share a beer with fellow MLU'ers.
Cheers

With a bit of luck I'll be there, the roads couldn't be any worse than my drive. I'll only be looking and to make shore I don't get carried away will only bring lunch money.
