I've decided I hate Tasmanians... only because we don't live there. Yet...

Good work BBlaze,

who has been using that Pulsar/ Astra for fishing??? (Looks like it WAS the bait!! It's lost a LOT of electrons!)
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

When I lived in WA, I once got asked to move a D2 CAT crawler from a friends Wheatbelt property 5 k to another location. I hired a car trailer:o, and towed it with my 6cyl WB 3spd manual Holden Panel van :o
To load the CAT onto the trailer, we had to bury the trailer below ground level, drag the CAT onto it, then haul it out of the hole with another tractor. Then Hi lift jack the drawbar onto my WB towhitch:D, then slowly:eek: drive 5k along the highway, and through the property to unload.

Made the clutch and rear springs work I can tell you!

The car trailer was never the same after that, either...:(

A few months later, I bought my first RR, a 1982 2Door, and never looked back...:D:D:D

I love the blue.
There aren't too many of us around either.
The shot below was taken when we were down your way a while back.
We spent around three months there and covered about 7000k's looking around and thoroughly enjoyed the place. Being from Qld, I really enjoyed the variety of climatic changes you get.
Regards
Glen
