Its been done plenty of times but its always worth an update. I've always been a great fan of The Gillies Range in Nth Qld. Probably done it some dozen times as a sales rep from Bris. Some years back I counted 130+ consecutive left right curves. All up probably around 160+ in total. I once had to stop to give a passenger a break fom motion sickness. All these in renters unfortunatly. The Putty. Drove it today in a BF 2 renter. Very underwhelming compared to a great trip on my lonesome in my old T when I ran out of brakes twice. Have probably driven it maybe 25-30 times since around 1973. Some may recall a member/mod named Dallas. Dallas had done a spell of rally driving over the years and was last heard of driving an M5. He once told me in confidence that his fav high speed drive was Thunderbolts Way in NSW. I'm gunna give it a run tomorrow from Uralla to Inverell. Unfortunatly, still in the BF renter so I'm pretty likely to be sticking to rental/safe speeds (If there's such an animal) but I will report to you interested forumphiles sitting on the edge of your computer stools. Macka.

1938 Chev sedan. Cost me 10 Quid. I was 15 so I had to leave it in the neighbours paddock & tell my old man that it belonged to them otherwise he would have flogged me.

Yes....well it is that day of the year isn't it.

VERY VERY Nice. Just consider yourself lucky you didn't end up with the Mazda 6. There just aint no comparison.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that only a septic would be dumb enough to do that with a gob full of gum?

Yo...

Yep, sure is some real stuff happening. Transport industry. (Just the refrigerated division where Macka makes his living) 2008. 4 major operators go to the wall & several others floundering. All in all, something like 600+ rigs between them. (When this stuff hits the auctions it always drives a major hole in the new equipment market) 2009. None of the majors like Toll, Linfox, Woolworths etc are placing the usual orders for new gear that is normally happening this time of the year. Toss in the terrible natural disasters of floods & fire, dress with reduced spending on fresh produce/fruit/meat etc, and you've got a section of the transport industry bleeding from the bum. Next, take the massive reductions in heavy freight that has serviced the mining industry through the boom. The big suppliers of prime movers like Kenworth, Western Star, Volvo etc have the largest stocks & shortest delivery times ever experianced. No matter what spin you put on it, its going to be ugly for a while. As for hedging by buying gold stocks etc, if Macka could do that he'd be saying to Claude, "F*k the gold Claude, lets just get back in a T & head for the beach to have a sit down" Oh, & dont forget the Smarties.......

Seeing as how I remember a lot of the stories from when I lived in Syd-a-nee I think things will hot up a bit as the series progresses. There sure were a lot of head ferked crims in thems days & I'm sure the producers will be getting into higher gears next week. There'll be more shovel work from Burts boy for sure.

So's Macka. G'day shaz & idiots...(No no, not you Trenty) only thems who's heads fit the caps. Nice to see you all staying off topic......Not......Still.......'cept for a few. Freakin, lousy, downturning, jumped up, capital burning, snuff sniffing, smartie melting, phelgm flicking, financial situation has put paid to Macka's near future hopes of piloting a T again. S'pose there's always a snowflakes hope in hell of picking some sweet numbers tonight though. Mack will shout the steaks & beer at the Norman if he wins anything over 100 gorilla's though. Now there's an offer............

GMH Torana...?? Shouldn't it be slow intentionally..??

Going....going.....

Always good to welcome a new squeak member. Nice example of snow understeer.

Hey there. Thought it was time to open the door an have a peek in. Yep, seems there are still a few idiots about and that gotta be a good thing. (I used to think I was a pretty good exponent) Sensible is not always entertaining hey? Still trying to get my arze back into somekinda blue oval turbo & a Terri is still looking to be a prospect. Whatever it ends up being I'm 99% sure to be in it for Xmas. Then I'll be back to continue to try an edjakate youse wot need it most. In the meantime, keep sucking the blue ones.................Smarties that is.......

Intelligence and a nice chin can go a long way.

A Rebutal. Why don't ya pull ya forskin over ya head & whistle down ya pirck

Bloody spoilsport

Mmmmm.....Steak...... I'm still watchin youse all. Lots happening & I'm strugglin to stay ahead of the play but either a T or a Terri T are still in the picture. But not by that week-end. Maybe a chance to add myself in for the din din's & I'll see how things turn out. Currently in my town of birth, Riverstone in NSW but driving back to Bris on Saturday. Macka.

Oh dear, Another newbie that doesn't read from the beginning. Time for the illustrious KEN24T to return to show these newbies the way of the thong.............. There.......I said them both.

Bump....

Yeth, they thirtainly were

Originally the tanned hide of the Chamois Deer. Pretty hard to find original stuff but I reckon the high end synthetic stuff is better than the natural these days. Either way, if they get grotty & have absorbed junk, wash them by hand in warm water with mild soap (Not detergent) squeeze out and store damp.
