A secret mission...

[justinc]

I'm on one, at the moment.

I am far from home, in fact pretty much as far from home on this island as I can be, looking at a resto project tomorrow. It isn't a Landy though, but just as interesting:)


Will report back tomorrow.

(PS; The LS430 is good for 10.3l/100 average on this run, over 400km so far:))

JC

[rovercare]

400km!, did you circumnavigate the whole island?:D

[justinc]

400km!, did you circumnavigate the whole island?:D

No not quite!

Easy to do when you're driving a loungeroom.:cool:

Nice tunes and effortless cruising:D Staying in a nice B&B owned by one of my customers, repaired his 110Td5 this arvo. Did 3 jobs today.

JC

[B92 8NW]

My gut tells me there is a gun sight from the driver's seat. May the stars guide you safely.



I bet I'm wrong:D

Nice tunes? Pink Floyd, Money? still Rosey's favourite?

Hadn't brought it!!:(, no just some big classical, a bit of Bluesy stuff, and even a bit of JK to make me drive a bit faster than usual:o

Keep on forgetting the Floyd! And yes The smaller child (Who is now taller than me!:() still loves that track!

That daughter of yours has classy music taste, even after being exposed to classical music!

[justinc]

That daughter of yours has classy music taste, even after being exposed to classical music!

She finally believed me that Angus Young plays Bach Fugues on his guitar after we heard some on an ABC classic FM show recently. I had Thunderstruck on in the car a while back and tried to explain that heaps of 'modern' music has its roots in classical, to no avail until then:p


Just the thought of an old friar practicing pieces on a pipe organ in a musty old church compared to Angus' stage antics is a larf:D:D!

Correct, lots of "modern" (pink floyd being modern is a larf on its own, even AC/DC:D...well, comparitive measure and all that:angel:) stems from classical, but it just got better:p

Hi Peter, sorry no pics yet, it IS top secret you know:angel:

I am both daunted and excited at the same time, there is a fair bit of rust repairs to do, but all the repair sections are available new. The main bits are VERY sound, and it is complete, not in bits, only minus an engine.

I'll reveal all soon....still have to decide 100% whether to commit or not, there is a fair bit of $$$ involved to buy it, let alone restore it to a good standard.

Be patient:D

JC

[LandyAndy]

Daimler double 6????

[justinc]

Daimler double 6????
Andrew

No, not even close:p:p

JC

[Chucaro]

Ok, knowing that you have taste for fine machines I have my last guess

A Gogomobile

but not the TS250 no, the Australian developed Dart :D

[pop058]

[numpty]

:eek::eek: I know you may get some arguments;) but the last time I looked, France was part of Europe.:D

I agree with Pop, it must be Yank.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

If it is in Tassie.............

I'm not sure the French think they're part of Europe. they seem to be in a world of their own ... with delusions of grandeur! :o:D:D

[PAT303]

MG or Austin Healy. Pat

[justinc]

Achtung!

- Thats the only clue I'm giving.:p


I am trying to amass funds at the moment to obtain said object. I have too many vehicles at present anyway, so at least 1 will be leaving to make way.


Stay tuned.

JC

Alfa is my guess.

It can't be a Lancia because you said there are parts which are very sound.

[d@rk51d3]

VW Split beetle, or barn door kombi?

[Madkelpie]

911

[abaddonxi]

RR, Lexus.

I'd imagine something fast, quiet, comfortable.:D

[Bigbjorn]

RR, Lexus.

A Cadillac

[rick130]

A bit like Queenslanders being Queenslanders and not Australians:angel:;)

:lol2: It still shocks me watching a Queensland news broadcast. Not one single person that does anything noteworthy is 'Australian', they are always Queenslanders

[rick130]

Achtung!

JC:)


Half Track !!

They'll be calling you the Erwin Rommel of the South ! :D

[numpty]

Well it's definitely German then. My guess is a Porsche of some description.;)

[rick130]

half Track and a Kharman Ghia :D

[kaa45]

Daimler? :angel:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

I know!
I know!
:tease::tease:

[UncleHo]

Kubel or Ketkraftenenrad ;)

[BMKal]

Messerschmitt 3 wheeler ?

Something to modify for a REAL offroading experience. Imagine the articulation. :angel:

[Cap]

A WW2 German Tank :p

[PAT303]

What are those three wheeled BMW's called?,they had one on Heartbeat. Pat

[Bearman]

C'mon JC, the suspense is killing me!!!

[Chucaro]

What are those three wheeled BMW's called?,they had one on Heartbeat. Pat

Isetta :cool:

[Bearman]

Isetta :cool:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2010/04/435.jpg

You'd have to call that a suicide door, wouldn't you??? Or ejector seat:):):)

[Chucaro]

You'd have to call that a suicide door, wouldn't you??? Or ejector seat:):):)

Yes! :D and was very good to roll over it down the hill, it will never stop.

The Isetta was not only the one back then on the late 50's, I remember the Heilkel as well.
The Isseta also was produced on the 3 door version with a 600cc engine.
This is an example of the Heinkel that Justin is chasing for swaping for the RR :D

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2010/04/433.jpg

[slug_burner]

Isetta, dad had one back in the sixties back in the old country. Had four wheels the back two are close together and don't use a diff if I recall correctly. Suicide door? Suicide car! One door and it is at the front, don't know what happens when you run up the back of another car in one:eek::(

[slug_burner]

Justin,

Not a G-Wagon?, still a chooks foot but a little more utalitarian.

[VladTepes]

Merc ?

[Bigbjorn]

Kubel or Ketkraftenenrad ;)

Uncle. my German has deteriorated over the years. The best I can make out of that is "chain drive bicycle".

Do you mean the HK101 SdKfz101 (Sonderkraftzeugrad or-wagen depending whether it is a light truck or a motor-cycle?) light motorcycle half track made by NSU with an Opel engine? Initially intended for airborne units but got most use when issued as a light supply vehicle with Das Heer.

Could be good in the mud and slush of Tasmania. A bit easier to debog than a Panzerkampfwagen or a Mobelpanzerflugzeugabwehrkanonwagen usually called a Mobel-Wagen.

[isuzurover]

Borgward?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

even Google couldnt find your--
Mobelpanzerflugzeugabwehrkanonwagen

it did find this when asked about mobelwagen;)

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2010/04/400.jpg

[Pedro_The_Swift]

could this be it???
its a HK101 SdKfz101

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2010/04/401.jpg

[circlework]

JC's into 4wd, so how about a Pinzgauer?


Daz.

[rick130]

Pinzguaer, Haflinger and even the G-Wagen are made in Austria aren't they ?
So not German.

Porsche 365 Spyder ?

and no ones mentioned any classic BMW's yet either, like a nice little 2002 ?

Notice the smarty pants hasn't mentioned what era even, make the guessing a little hard.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

[Bigbjorn]

Mobelpanzerflugzeugabwehrkanonwagen

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2010/04/400.jpg

A Mobelwagen is a furniture van. So the long winded portmanteau word is literally an armoured anti-aircraft cannon furniture van. no doubt so called for its boxy van-like appearance. Normally provided with four x 20mm cannon. It would have been a formidable weapon either against aircraft or ground troops and vehicles.

[VladTepes]

The suspense is... well, it's suspensful.

[UncleHo]

G'day Pedro :)

Yes, that is a KettenKrad :D 1.5ltre opel olympia motor and good for 80kph :eek: I tried to purchase one from a guy in Homebush in the 70's but it ended in a NZ museum :(


cheers

Just as well you missed it. Could have been a problem on Anzac Day, with Inc, The Management, and yourself in coalscuttle helmets, SS camouflage smocks, Sturmgewehr and MG42 trying to enter the march.

[UncleHo]

:D:D:D:D Ja

Now that's an interesting mental image :D:D

[Bigbjorn]

:D:D:D:D Ja

Achtung! Schutze Hicks, that should be "Jawohl, Zu Befehl, Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer!" And click your heels.

[UncleHo]

Nien,there is already a "Schultz" Baker,aka Baker Bird, who has a C15 Blitz radio body van, if any thing it would Hienz :D


cheers

full of beans, huh? :D

[Bigbjorn]

full of beans, huh? :D

No, Hienz is pronounced Hee-ntz.

The bean family is Heinz, promounced Heye-ntz

A Schutze is a private soldier, not the Sergeant Schultz famous for "The Schultz Defense".

[EchiDna]

I zee nuzink!.............nuzink!!

ah sergent schultz, what a classic :)

[Bigbjorn]

I loved the part of one episode when Col. Klenk, Schultz, and Hogan started discussing what each was going to do after the war. Schultz said he would go back to the toy factory. I forget which of the others asked if Schultz did not have higher ambitions than factory work. Schultz replied "I own the toy factory".

[EchiDna]

there was 168 episodes!!

Hogan's Heroes (a Titles & Air Dates Guide) (http://epguides.com/HogansHeroes/)
