New Toy

[grey_ghost]

Hi All,

Maybe we should organise an AULRO group buy for one of these:

123701

8 of them have popped up on Grays - starting price of $9 each.

Oshkosh M series 8 x 8 - 1983>1988

Would be good for transporting all of our Landy's... [bigrolf]:ehigh5::banana::twobeers::thumbsup::whistling:

Mick - I'm guessing that you have probably already put a bid on one of themm ;-)

Cheers,
GG.

[grey_ghost]

No but thanks for the heads up.
I reckon I know where there is a shed I could park most of it.

Oh, and I have a HR licence.

That it could. That forward control cabin leaves heaps of room...

Helps with your parking problem.

You might need to increase the height of the carport, though.

[Homestar]

I wonder what they'll end up going for. If they were closer I'd nearly stick a bid on one for ****s and giggles...

Go on. I'll drive it home for you.... I left my towel at Emerald...

[Homestar]

Problem would be I'd spend all my money on it and wouldn't be able to afford the fuel to get it home.... :D

[Mick_Marsh]

Challenge accepted.

Back out now if you're not prepared to go through with it.

How much should I budget for fuel?

GG, leave your gate open, buddy.

[Mick_Marsh]

You know, there is enough room on the back to build a tiny house.

With a tiny garden.

Don't forget driver comforts, Mick. My days of sleeping in trucks are over.

Bid away, I'll deliver it to you, Mick.
Calculate fuel usage at 5-6 mpg.

He doesn't expect you to sleep in it with a bed that big on the back... [bigwhistle]

Take your swag...

[cuppabillytea]

Do you need a rigid license to drive them?

My Licence is more rigid now that it's made of plastic, but it's still pretty bendy. It's got HC on it.

Can I borrow Wes?

Mine bends twice, or more sometimes. It's got MC on it.

[Homestar]

He'd love that! He'll keep you warm on a cold night, but you'll need earplugs as he snores louder than SWMBO...

[Tins]

I'll just take my hearing aids out. Does he like Dobermans?

[Tins]

In fact, looking at that truck, I don't think I'll even take my hearing aids.

How about a Shrubbery. We want a Shrubbery.

[Tins]

I'd prefer a rubbedey. :twobeers:

When Monty Python quotes are thrown into the mix.... no telling where we will end up now!

[Homestar]

Does he like Dobermans?

Yes, he's not fussy - he'll eat anything.

I tell you what Neil,,, knowing a few of these guys personally, I can tell you quite knowingly, it could end up anywhere anyway,, it doesn't need MP quotes to get it there, but it will certainly help [bigwhistle]

Were you a Lumberjack once Chops?... [emoji41][emoji48]

He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's BLOUSEs and drive around in BIG BLUE cars.

He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's blouses and drives around in big blue cars.
