Sad goodbye to a true friend

The dealer who organised the ATM reduction has acquired amnesia, so Ive moved on from them. A may have an engineer that will add half a ton back on ... just by me paying him money, and him looking at the van thru engineer eyes. All in all a total 1100kg payload and not a single modification other than to my wallet ... stay tuned

Money talks all languages @Crusty181 .

I can buy a blank compliant compliance plate for $30 .............

"Crooks Incorporated" eh @Drover??

 

[Boots in Action]

Your right Boots, but I understood the point @Drover was making was from the angle of my actual car and van, which he knows intimately from having it parked in his driveway ... and to be fair it's very difficult when looking at a mighty Navara D40 V6, to consider that it actually apparently does have limitations ... so they say

Everything has a limit @Crusty181 , even your mighty Navara. It is just a matter of how far you have to go to prove it!

You are right of course purely looking at numbers but there are more things to consider and holistically it's not so simple. When things go pear-shaped everything is taken into account and much will hinge on intent, and reasonableness to gauge culpability. At a roadside weight check it would make little difference, but when things go very very wrong, it makes a significant difference. When youre wrong, youre wrong ... but your intent is what dictates the penalty

Sounds like "Lawyer Talk" @Crusty181 !! But true if unintentional.

Will this guy get amnesia "on demand" too @Crusty181 ??

It's actually quite legal, there is no legislation on plate style just what it has to have on it, these plates are bought by dealers, trailer builders etc to fit to their vehicles so long as the data is correct, I had a 7x5 trailer which I had built years ago with just a number welded onto draw bar, when the new scheme came into play here in QLD I had to get a plate and engrave the details on it to fix to the unit................. I suppose it could lend itself to improper use.

You could be forgiven for mistaking this photo of the brand new 2019 combo (taken today) for a precious Kodak moment circa 1985. The photo editing adjustment possibly isnt helping my cause

Even the new Merc is a 20 year old design model ... what can i say, im nostalgic

Another comic situation presented yesterday at the boat ramp. A white Troopy which to the untrained eye looked all but identical to my new very expensive incarnation. My father in law though id beaten him to the ramp

Humourously it has Club registration plates which recognises it as a Classic Historic Vehicle. Lucky i have a sense of humour i suppose

Right down to the rims truly classic. Well the rims we put on after tossing the splits.

Life like that is hard to take I am sure @Crusty181 . I wish we had some water in our creeks and rivers up here. Very envious!!
