He is still flying at 2000 feet dreaming of Mustangs and Wirraways, probably wearing a SEG as well

Nothing will get done by leaning on the tyres........

The Missus told me to dry the dishes. If I leave the tee towel hanging on the bullbar long enough, she will probably give up and dry them herself

Looks like the front hubs have dissappeared, nothing to hang the wheels on. Don't worry Keith, there are plenty of trucks in the tunnel if you are short of anything

Keith, I think you will need a bigger tea towel if you think you can hide the FGT at home with out Belinda finding out.

So whats the fuel consumption 1mil -1metre 500mil coke bottle =500 meters 1 litre =1 km so I recon you need about 1200 coke bottles to get your truck home. Thats a lot of caffine.

It's almost the same colour as the Chev so perhaps she won't notice.

Yes, but the team at Yass is more than up to the task, I'm sure!

Perhaps they can go to the larger size bottle and get more miles out of each.

Or maybe you'd like to fuel it in your inimitable style... better recharge the extinguisher first!

Default Water

Looks like it's one of those rare hydrogen powered blitzes...

That's the one thing we didn't check in the scramble to get it back together!

As for the mobile number - that hasn't changed in recent years... I'll PM Tony - if he's getting a message with my voice it's the right number.

The other alternative is the office number - I don't always have the mobile with me.

Cliff - makes our tasks look easy! Glad I don't have to put that one together on my dining table with nothing but a modelling knife and a bottle of glue.
