Ian, I haven't heard from the old chap for a while. Is he still above ground?

Kev. Where are you? If you have gone to the big dog's home in the sky, get the management to send money for the wake.

G'day Folks :)

Yup! Brian, I'am still above ground :D but I have been busy replacing the fence in the dog yard,just finished straining the 2nd 20 metre roll of 1200mm x 60mm chainwire, part of the dog yard perimeter fence, the old stuff had been up 20+years,and was looking a little worse for wear, as it also acts with the barbed wire to keep the bovines out.

Sad story about my Lightweight Ian,I rolled it on the evening of 20th of June :( about 400metres from home,the bonnet came up @ 70kph I had traffic behind me so pulled over to the left,---- down the table drain,onto it's nose and over onto it's back,I crawled out what was left of the canopy & hoops covered in petrol (under seat tanks) luckily the 24volt batteries in the centre box stayed intact,a little bruised,and battered but OK,a neighbour called the Ambos,and they carted me into Caboolture Hospital,I had rung "the Management" and at first she didn't believe me, only after the Ambo went down the road did she walk down and accompany me to the hospital.

The Lightweight is repairable,but I won't start doing that until next year,I want to get my 2a LBW back on the road,hopefully for the Jeep Club Swap Meet in October :)

Sorry Brian, but you will have to wait a few more years to have my wake :D you crafty old git!

He's got a hide hasn't he Jojo ;)

Uncle Ho :)

To get an old Land Rover to the almost stellar velocity of 70kph with only a 400m run is definitely cementing your reputation as the LR speed guru :D
