I agree Bob But the silly thing is we will end up with less photos as we never develop them past the bloody phone If we pop our clogs tomorrow, will someone else be able to get them off our phones Paul

Oh and just for the sake of it, was out delivering hay in the little Isuzu yesterday with a couple of helpers Mums old Kelpie, gone 16 now and Miss Molly the border collie, both fighting over who gets the window seat and who cuddles me Life is better with dogs Life is also a bit stinky with dogs as well, phew !!! Gunna be -1°C tonight, cold enough for me and winter starts in less than 2 weeks -4° C is the coldest I have ever seen Princess is excited as it means she can pick the pumpkins, need a good frost on them to finish them and seal them up for winter, Australians eat a lot of pumkins Paul

Sorry about that Movie is 2001 "Bandits" See of trailer works on the link,no real action there But if you can find it to watch Bob, I reckon the Big Bang will get the ass for a couple of hours It's quite funny And failing that try finding "Paper Back Hero" Australian movie about a bloke that drives a R model road train a bit,a bit of a romantic comedy type of deal, also good for a laugh Paul

V8 Perkins in some Massey Ferguson tractors, headers (or combines as you lot call them), sugar cane harvesters IH had V8s in 2WD tractors and their bigger rebadged Steigers Mercedes-Benz V8's were also in sugar cane harvestes And I'm sure the list goes on Paul

Have never seen one with grease and a extra seal, learning things every day Paul

Finally found out what happened to the front of the DM Watch the first 10 minutes of this Dunno how it ends as I had to deliver some hay And probably more entertaining than the Big Bang TV show Paul

And the 3208 fitted a lot better in the engine bay of a Louisville than a inline 6 As did the 903 Paul

That's a good run out of the truck, for sure Seems like fairly humble type of bloke, doubt we'll see him on any supertrucker videos on the jacob brake through every gear Paul

Just spoke to my local supplier, Monday delivered to me and between 40 - 50 bucks Australian They are getting me a exact price and as soon as I know I'll let you know Paul

If you want I'll ring around locally and pop them in the mail It make take a day or 2 to get to me and if I bung them on air freight they'll be in the U.K. within the week Paul

Just a quick Google and yes kits are available from Watts, the forum here Reckon PAI would also have the kit For me, that trucks a bargain buy, it runs and that's a positive and it doesn't knock, that's even better So it may or may not need a in frame rebuild, only guessing at this this stage But I feel for 10 grand or less you'll have a good truck Paul

Known as the "Muck Truck" out here And yes, yiu gotta eat what you gotta eat Paul

Dunno Bob I have a few movies I really enjoy and have watched them plenty of times Really pisses the Princess off when I watch them again for probably the 20th time Last Saturday night after a few boubons, I put "Wild Hogs" on, laughed like the idiot that I am And even surprised myself and stayed awake But normally it's the other way around, the Princess is watching some crappy show and I just toddle off to bed and she watches what ever crappy shows she wants I guess this why we love them ha ha Paul

RAW RAW RAW RAW, I think Princess has the same book of instructions ha ha ha Wood is only good for keeping us warm lol Paul

A very different flood than we have in most of Australia The water must of been roaring Truck looks amazing and the helper is there helping as well Life really doesn't get much better I'm thinking Paul

Good job and a good helper helping Paul

1981

And what happens in Australia were we have km/h Paul

Well I have no idea were NC is, I could Google it but a little mystery is good in life Should sell fairly easy been that neat Good luck with the sale, I don't sell anything, I'm gunna be one of those blokes when they have a clearing sale after I'm dead that everyone scratches their head about and the crap I have collected Paul

Well I can honestly say you aren't the first bloke to have life get in the way of a good plan Next thing I woke up, 30 years of marriage, a few farms later, milked some cows, burnt some sugar cane, made some hay, had a family driven shitty old Mack all over this wide brown land pulling road trains, managed power plants and the list goes on And all would you believe in the blink of a eye ha ha ha Don't worry smoothy, life gets bloody crazy for a while yet So my 2 cents of advice, enjoy the family, I mean really take time to enjoy family life as the kids are teenagers in a blink of an eye and hate their parents until they are 25 or there abouts Oh and the Mack is as cool as all get out!!! And congratulations on the bub and fresh almost new Mack, the 80's was only yesterday after all after all that I still have the Mack and the bride, my Dad that's in one of these photos not so, my niece, the little girl in the pink jumper is all grown up Paul

Well done everyone thats had a birthday that I've missed Hope you all got rotten as chop and forgot how old you were for one day Paul

I feel so embarrassed about how much I have got wrong each day Paul

And I would rather drive a 3208 or 555 than 6V53 screaming GM all day Paul

I think your right Jo Jo People need to compare apples with apples They are a basic bare bones poverty pack motor made more short haul around type delivery type of deal I think they performed extremely well at this type of work Paul

There some class looking milk trucks Paul
