Have no idea how old it is, but watching Heavy Tow Truckers Down Under and Max, a driver with cerebral palsy, just delivered his second load of an ex-Raaf P3 orion successfully.

Great to see that employers are prepared to give someone with this condition a crack, especially at a job with such responsibility.

Good on ya Max!

Just thought I'd throw up a picture of one of the loads Max was driving, to put it in to perspective for those who haven't seen the show.

As the description reads, A9-760 was moved in October 2019.

I now have a Stinger in my garage

Citroënbender · 29-03-2023, 05:35 PM

Chironex Fleckeri?

I went shopping this morning and an Austin club was having a drive nearby; six Austin 7's and an Austin Healey. It was a wet morning. The early 7's are really tiny things. It was the centenary of the Austin 7 last year.

it has been 12hrs now, where are the pictures?!

congrats on having the car in your hands. I have seen a few posts from you with dates moving around, good to hear it has arrived.

and my 'what made you feel good' - finally lined up a weekend with access to my partners car and a car detailer, she should have a very clean car come Sunday afternoon. Now I just need to sort out dates for the guy to sort out my car as well

Back at the Melbourne Grand Prix again today. 3 more days!

Citroënbender · 30-03-2023, 11:53 PM

Mowed my back lawn, first time since December last year. This was a personal goal, a statement of physical recovery. The grass filled both my 120 and 240 litre bins. I backed it up with two shopping missions, a full PPE hour-long hospital visit, a bit of housework and breaking down some branches I pruned off last Tuesday. Felt like I’d been reasonably productive after all that.

Two more weeks till i go back to work and trying not to drive this thing... OMFG what a weapon !!

All modifications are now finished and i debadged her... just gone 35km's lol

Have a great weekend team

Previously i mentioned i pre ordered a Tribute build No 351 in Ascot Green with Terracotta interior.

Well after Speaking to Roland one of the head honcho's in Kia's marketting division at the EV6 GT Drive day at Norwell Raceway a few days ago, he has assured us all that NO Tributes will be coming into australia at present.

A definite answer wont be available for around 6 months or so, so i dont want my deposit back just yet.

However it would be good to know the facts around this decision.

Why does this make me feel good?

Because i could only keep one of these things and i would find it very difficult letting this one go at present...

How come you're not wanting to drive it.

31-03-2023, 06:14 PM

Ummm because the inner child in me is having a bit of difficulty running it in softly with over 500hp under my foot.
And the noise under boost once the bypass valves are open... the seat bolsters tighten when you put it in Sport (Map2 on my tune box) as if to dare you to push it further.

I will do a cold remote start video tomorrow and try to link it for you guys to hear what a glorious note this thing has, but i don't think i have been able to post videos for years ?

Perhaps a new thread over in Non Ford Rides would be best?

It's 12 months since my best mate left us so today we went down to Brissy to spend the day with his widow and daughters.
We spent the whole day telling stories about him and our antics when we were younger. I don't think any of us has laughed so much in the last year.

People walking around in funny combination as theme of this year's Grand Prix is purple so much event purple and McLaren orange merchandise on display.

sneaky · 01-04-2023, 04:27 PM

partners car is back from the detailer looking better than new.

my car should be done next weekend and I'm expecting a massive improvement from how it looks now.

Also finally getting my gardens sorted after 5 or 6 years in the house - it would have been done today but bunnings ran out of plants and I ran out of funding lol

HIPO · 02-04-2023, 07:00 AM

The price of silver... c'mon baby!

Saw a few people in faded HRT jackets at the Grand Prix. Not the 888 HRT but the real Walkinshaw HRT. "Holden, we're still here". Bwahahahaha.

MITCHAY · 07-04-2023, 07:58 PM

I finally got around to cleaning the house. It has never been particularly bad but it always feels better after putting the effort in

I'm hoping to get around to cleaning my car this long weekend as that is well over a year since I last cleaned it
