A scissor lift mounted on the tow bar....or draw bar...so he can raise himself above the hordes for afternoon drinkies and, in the tradition of the item having multiple uses, to be used as a fishing or diving platform.

And Qld number plates of course.

im thinking what vics good ponits are apart from good pay

You are joking right? Let me see...
  • Melbourne - sporting capital and Victoria the sporting state.
  • High Country
  • Goldfields district
  • Wilsons Prom and the Gippsland area
  • Otways
  • Great Ocean Rd
  • Proximity of all these places to each other (usually less than a day)
  • Great food culture
  • Great coffee culture
  • 4 actual seasons as opposed to "a really humid one and a really dry one"
  • The ability to have snow and beach
  • No canetoads (yet)
  • Affordable lifestyle...
Geez... where do I stop?

If Vic is so great why do they all turn up here to cause traffic jams ?????????//:closed_2:

One of the many great things about QLD, well 2 actually no need for a diesel heater and I'm here....................:drum:..............................

Not of topic either, just waiting for someone to remember what his great mod is......................................can't be the ultimate mod, a Holden Badge it's already got one.....................:encouragement:

It's the same mentality that people go out to missionaries and third world countries.To essentially help out the locals and disadvantaged through assistance and economic stimulus.

Yep. A still is a possibility. :(

(I'm currently distilling some water.....after setting up the fermenters for the moonshine....the place here stinks like a brewery so I need to get it finished! Yield so far.....about 30 litres and counting. Should keep us going till Christmas.)

and @Smergen .....in the absence of further information from you, we may as well stay off the topic.....keeps us amused.

:boink:

And @Drover are Holden badges now available at the reject shop? Along with diesel heaters.

After yesterday's 36deg temperature, a diesel heater is not an option.

:clap2:

At least I'll go happy!

Can you smell it from there?

(Four fermenters farting fortuitously and furiously...and productively and one large still producing distilled water....:o)

:focus:.....still off topic. It's up to @Smergen to set us straight.

And i changed my jocks for nothing...................................................

ON TOPIC..............Mr @Smergen next time you have your head under the bonnet, marvelling at the Holden brilliance, have a look at the top of the timing cover and let me know if it has VM Motori stamped on it....................reading the history of this engine manufacturer and I am curious to know if the later models have the same 2.8lt donk in them, they used them in the 2012 upgrade but I think it changed again, it may be the 2016 that has one from elsewhere...the company has a curious ownership history.......GM, Chysler, Detroit, Fiat.................
