Yeah but that would suit me just fine... I don't want the body , Anyone can have a range rover but a range rover with a series body now thats worth owning a rangie, other than that i wouldn't own one but for a toy with a series body hmmmmmmm . . . . . ;)

Leo, who was having lots of trouble witth his 15 year old Bi-polar daughter doing drugs and sex, picking her up at police station at 3:00AM when he had lost his licence and could not go by car, etc., decided that he would get a place a long way from anywhere so she could not go out and get herself into trouble.

We could live with that driveway would keep the reletives away & some of the kids friends . . . . ;)

Actually, might even be next Wednesday as I have the Freebi booked in at All FourX4 at Kotara at 7.30am to have a Cam Shaft Sensor replaced, they say it will take a couple of hours but if I decide to call in I will give you a call!!:D

Hey Aus have you a busy weekend with work hope theres no drunk run in there...Gees the sites been real busy lately seems to be heaps online at once now which is good for the site.So whats every one got planed for the weekend .Its going to rain here i think.Karen is hoping it does so that footy is washed out then she can sleep in....Hope to get some new springs soon & get my car driving again . . . . . .

[banjo]

Hey it getting realy quiet in here have i steped on someones toes again or just put my foot in my mouth ?????

[JohnF]

If you stepped on my toes I did not feel anything and do not know about it. If so they were either so caked in mud from my drive I could not feel you stepping on them--though they do also get a little bit cold this time of the year so I may not have felt you stepping on them due to that cold :D:D:D.

But am fairly certain that you hsave not stepped on my or any regulars toes.

It seems that on this forum that I am the one who steps on most toes, though I may be wrong--do not read a big percentage of threads, as do not have time for everything. Certainly I got reaction against what I said in the evolution thread before it was cancelled. But I always think that people should discuss things and be free to disagree. I had so much more that I wanted to throw out there on that subject, but that was not to be--when I have the date of the opening of a new interesting Museum, I will post it--and this museum backs up some of my claims.

So do not worry about Banjo stepping on toes-You step on hardly any if any at all. I say hardly any having those hate e-mails you once recieved in mind. But to most of the regulars on this thread you do not step on our toes.

Jason,hope to contact you down your way Monday Week, as planning to come down if weather is fine--by hitching or by train--not sure as yet. If it is wet will put trip off for a couple of weeks. Will drop in to meet you, after spending a few days in Sydney. Hope there is a bus that goes near you, from a railway station as I am going to be using public transport. Pensioners get cheap fairs on bus and train in NSW so will make use of my pension card, John.

So Aus what do you recon does Fatty get easly excited or what.You would swear she has never seen a limo before..She never shutup about it all night she loved it.... So one day if its possable could you take her & the 2 girls for a short drive & take a photo of them next to it....But only if your boss is ok with it....

[DiscoMick]

No toes stepped on as far as I know.
Went to a work farewell party last night, got on a bus home and had to get off at Eight Mile Plains to change but the bus windows were fogged and I missed the stop and the bus turned off, so got out, sat in bus stop in rain, called wife, got another bus back to Eight Mile Plains and got picked up. So got home late and was a bit unpopular. All OK this morning.
I'm off to cook pancakes for a late breakfast.
Got a housefull of women planning to spend the day spinning and then they're off to see the new Twilight movie (groan). So I think I'll be ti- toing around them all day. Might watch the footy with the youngest son tonight.

Well Fatty went out today to footy all good there they won..Now i tell ya she is a freak my little freak she goes out for awhile after footy & when she gets home she cant talk to good hard to understand like she's had stroke but no not her she went & got her tongue pierced & now she can hardly speak. Why she didn't get it done 23 years ago i wouldn't have such a head ache now . Its the qietest she has ever been in 23 years...
So now thats the ears, eye, nose, lip, nipple, belly hole, down stairs.
She's talking of these things called dermals & you can get them anywhere you like.....

Ah i seeits a bit warmer this morning , Cause its bloody raining AGAIN...:o.

Karens tongue is nice & swollen now everything sounds like bla bla bla..

[JohnF]

Hi Banjo
Wondering if you can e-mail me your address, so I now how to get their from Cardiff station next Monday--probably not long after lunch time. Also sent me your Phone number, though you did post it before. Will be catching a train up from Hornsby, and it takes a couple of hours to get up to Newcastle.

Leaving either late Wednesday night or Thursday morning for Sydney and will be spending a couple of days there, and calling in to you on the way home--or alternatively will leave on Tuesday, in which case I head back down to Sydney Monday night.

Am almost packed for the Trip. Wednesday night this week I have a RFS Fire-brigade meeting at Casino, and plan on getting dropped at Casino railway Station after that meeting, to catch a train next morning to Sydney--if I can get a seat. Wife is phoning up to book for me.

[JohnF]

before planning this trip, I should have found out where Fossil Polystrate trees in the Newcastle coal measures can be found, as I am going to photograpgh them for my collection--and their are these found in Newcastrle Coal Measures.

I will be travelling to near Yamba and Gympie later this year to photograph Polystrate trees in the Jurrassic Rocks, and will be travelling elsewhere to photograph these Fossilised Jurassic Polystrate trees.

Jurrasic rocks extend from near Yamba, out to Birdsville, up to near tip of Cape York, around 1/3 of Australia, and these are full of Polystrate Southern Conifers, in a big log Jam, with roots of all the trees missing.and dinosaur and Marine Fossils mixed in with the all the Trees.

So I want to start documenting and photographing this flood deposit [because it is a flood deposit 1/3 of Australia in extent, covered by sediment that had to come from an area greater than Australia, does not prove Noah's flood.]

And Banjo I do promise that I will not Hijack your thread by discussing this further in this thread. But wish I had found out where to photograph these in the Newcastle Coal Measures while down there.

Should add that The Jurrasic rocks are underground in parts of this area, so are not always accessable to the camera.

[bblaze]

Ok, I had to go looking.
Bloody work, roll on january cant wait to start the big circuit. Any one got a good paying job in WA around march next year (only for a couple of months). Still bloody cold. Shed boxing all ready for plastic, reo ect but still waiting on council. Plant my new orchard over last week, only 5 trees ATM, still waiting on an orange tree, spot already picked for that one. Put in 14 post for the new boundry fence.
Can Karen get the words out yet, I myself wwould never have either a tat or a piecing but I do admire some of the works. Old girlfriend had a stud in her tongue but I wont go there.
You have been a bit quite to Jase, hope all is well
cheers

[banjo]

Hi yeah i have been a bit quiet of late , Stressing over the car & the kids mainly the kids .Plus Karen is healing slow from the dog attack.And i have been sitting at home on my own a bit for long periods.A bit nervouse about my visit from JohnF only because it pre arranged as such.Plus i get embarest to tell people i cant have long visits cause i get nervouse...

Looking forward to getting my spring so i can get them all done & give me something to do Plus i can drive it again then..

So BBlaze i take it you have a farm . Sounds good . We where actualy going to move down there just before the kids where born, Both wishing we had done so now..

Karens tongue is still swollen & she is now slering & has a lisp....Its funny cause she is so quiet .

[bblaze]

No farm Jason, just an i/2 acre block that we are subdeviding a very small section off for my BIL to put a small unit on. The main problem is that for the last 20 years I had been developing a native tree plot etc and all that had to be removed along with my 12 x 8 meter shed to get access. So I need to build a new shed in a different location and reextabished all the trees and new boundries.
Maybe its time to think about a move to a small county town somewhere. My kids all grew up in one, all but one has now spread their wings. Daughter in Perth finishing her honor degree this year at uni, eldest son in burnie running the city networkwork system and youngest still at home at 26 wrrking shift work at a packing factory after he got sick of baking. So they can all come and go but home always will be in a small country town

Do no be nervious, I do not bite like that dog did to Karen. And I will not stay too long.

Have set you an e-mail with my picture [slightly Cartooned, but I am still recognisable] so you will know who I am when I arrive.

If next Tuesday would be better for you we can do it Tuesday, if not I will be there on Monday.

I have been here 39 years & have no idea what they are or where they are..

I did say I would not Hijack your thread by talking about Polystrate trees, but will have pictures from the net of them on my Laptop to show you breifly when I get there.

Briefly, a Polystrate tree is a fossil/petrified tree--Usually without its root system as it has been broken off and deposited vertically by a large flood. It is verticle running through many rock layers proving all these Rock Layers were all laid down in just one very big flood event, rather than being slowly covered over by sediments during a long period of time.

"Poly" is a word meaning "many"--polymer--many carbon atoms in the chain of atoms making the substance, etc.

"Strate" as in "Polystrate" after "Strata" or rock layers.

I do know where some Far North Coast Jurassic Polystrate tree fossils are, and when weather is warmer heading there for a swim and will photograph them at that time.

I also know where some are at Gympie, and will head up there soon to photograph them.

Some years ago, one evolutionist Geology Professor from Newcastle University published that there was no such thing as Polystrate Petrified trees, as these are a real big thorn in the side of evolution--that is Polystrate Petrified Trees do prove these many Rock layers did not take millions of years to form, but the many Rock Layers were all laid down in just one large flood event. That is why I would have liked to Photograph the ones in the rocks called "Newcastle Coal Measures."

But will get to photograph more local ones later this year.

However I had better leave this subject now. I just want to photograph these for my self and know two sites where these are to be found.

[The ho har's]

Thought I was seeing double there:D:D


Mrs hh:angel:

[Ausfree]

Well, I will be down at ALL FOURx4 at Kotara tomorrow at 7.30am to have the Cam Shaft Sensor replaced. Wander around for an hour or two until the job is done!!;)

[banjo]

Well Fatty came home from footy training & decided to help cook tea but i'm pretty sure it was only to stand in front of the stove to get warm ,As she ended up on fire when her jacket went on the hot plate :eek: .
Ah well atleast it wasn't a tea towl as when that happens she just swings it around like a mad person with flames going everywhere in staed of just putting it in the sink & turning the tap on..;):p ..

[banjo]

So how did you get on Aus is it all fixed...

[JohnF]

OK, OK John you don't have to repeat yourself!!!:lol:

My computer was freezing up and not letting me do what I wanted, so repeated myself accidently.

[Ausfree]

So how did you get on Aus is it all fixed... Nah,they had the wrong part, my FL1 is the updated model and the part they got in was for the earlier model, there was a change in June 2001 and my FL1 was built in July 2001. Of cause the part is dearer isn't it, always the way, an extra $80. They will have the part in this arvo and I will go down there again tomorrow morning to have it fitted.
They took my EMail address to be on their mailing list, apparently they are going to have information evenings, complete with a BBQ for Landie owners, should be interesting. I also learnt that the motor in my FL1 was completely rebuilt and updated a few months before I bought it, which is good news as I don't have to worry about changing timing belts for a long time yet. the previous owner spent $10,000 on the rebuild and the car is known down there. It was even booked in under the previous owners name and I had to correct them.:)

[Ausfree]

Banj, are you on the ALL FOURX 4 mailing list??? I bet you are, if not I can tell them tomorrow!!!:)

[banjo]

NO didn't even know they had one.Yeah put us on it to if you don't mind..
What time you gotta be there in the morning...

[Ausfree]

Will do,mate I will be down there about 7.30 am, I will give them your EMail address, they must be worried about the new Landrover Dealer out at Bennets Green!!:)

[banjo]

Yep because they have had the whole market for this area for so long now they have compotition to deal with..
Make sure you see Peter Haylock in the spares & tell him Karen said that you have to look after me ..
Karens yet to call in there & give em a good laugh about her new tattoo & tongue piercing .. Should give them a laugh....
Karen Like peter he is always very nice to her , plus she gives him crossiants when she can if they are fresh....

And young NIC aswell as pommy DAVE they treat Karen real good & look after her......
She just said tell them they have to look after you or she will be up there . . . . .

[Ausfree]

OK I will be there for a couple of hours tomorrow and I will pass on your EMail address, would love you to come along to an information night, no pressure, I know your feelings and I would be there to support you should you decide to turn up for at least ten minutes!!:) Actually, I haven't made up my mind if I will go, depends on the night I guess!!;)

[banjo]

Where do they hold them , At the shop or elswhere.

[Ausfree]

Don't know, I guess down at the shop, I will ask tomorrow!!;)

[banjo]

Don't know, I guess down at the shop, I will ask tomorrow!!;)

Depends on what time & where it is for me to ever get there...

[Ausfree]

For me, it would have to be after hours, and I'm sure thats how they would do it, as most people work and could not get there during the day, but anyway I will let you know!!:)

[Fifth Columnist]

I also learnt that the motor in my FL1 was completely rebuilt and updated a few months before I bought it, which is good news as I don't have to worry about changing timing belts for a long time yet. the previous owner spent $10,000 on the rebuild and the car is known down there. It was even booked in under the previous owners name and I had to correct them.:)
Finally, a bit of good news :)
Does that mean you're going to keep it?

[Ausfree]

I hope so!!!;)

You should of waited till the job was done then tell them to send you the bill Under the old owners name :angel:

[Ausfree]

Good idea, Banjo,but I bet it won't work!!!:twisted:

[Ausfree]

FL1 now fixed, and I passed on your EMail details to ALL FOURX4 Banjo, so you will get notification off information nights. They are going to be held at ALL FOURX4!!!:)

[banjo]

Thanks for that..




Heard from sleepy last night he is doing alright & all the family are well..
Says to say G'day

[banjo]

Well Fatty just got back with the groceries & put everything away & says i be back soon called into see Cain the tattooist & hes not busy so he going to do my other butterfly's that go around the last one she got..
Its not good knowing a tattooist when Fatty is concerned :angel: . .

[Ausfree]

Had a talk to Ben down at ALL FOURX4 and he tells me they have lost two mechanics and the front counter person to the new Landrover mob at Bennets Green. He suspects they will lose some work on the new Landrovers to them, but apparently they are not interested in older Landies or complicated work, they only want to do routine serviceing on new Landies.:) So I guess that lets FL1 and S3 owners out doesn't it!!:) Anyrate All FOURX4 is closer!!

[JBM770]

But it was funny to see the look on his face ...Plus i have never let him live it down . He owns the local video shop . . .

Always loved collecting models, even as a kid, I used to have model planes hanging from my bedroom ceiling on fishing line, even now I have model Valiants, Falcons and Holdens in the Loungeroom. Pride of place is an FJ Holden that has opening doors, boot and bonnet as well as turning front wheels. Also have model ships such as the "Cutty Sark" and the "Titanic".!!:)

Hi Banjo & Karen,
Still coming up to see you tomorrow. Went to Ourimbah today and did not realise how long the train trip took. Will jump on a train to Hornsby as soon as posible after getting up, then catch the first Newcastle train from Hornsby. But it is a 3 hour train journey to Newcstlle, though I do know the station near you is a bit closer. Planed on doing several things in the afternoon but found the day had gone. Salvos have a bus with mobile Internet that I am using at the moment, first time I have been on the Internet while down in Sydney.

[banjo]

Hey Aus what you doing online at this time of day.. Just got a call & JohnF is here so Fatty is going to pick him up now...

Would have been upset if they thought I was a fat version of Santa.

[JohnF]

Spent all night on train, left Central at 4:12PM and got to Kyogle at around 4:4M. Saw a lady I know from the Fire Brigade on the train, and her husband was picking her up from Kyogle, so got a lift home, sometime after five AM. So am very tired and posting this in an effort to stay awake.

No one who has seen the movie, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" knew that I was carrying the chainsaw on the train.

Will be down again to Sydney--Central Coast later this year to photograph some Polystrate Trees.

Enjoyed meeting Karen and Jason, they were nice. Kids kept telling them that they are bored. I do not have enough hours in the day to get bored. Some much interesting stuff too keep the mind occupied.

[Ausfree]

Nice to see you got back safely John.!!!:)
Hey Banj, with all this sunshine out now you should be finished on the Landy, should'nt you!!!!;)

[Ausfree]

Just had a look at Fleabay again and that model I was interested in, finished up going for $67, way past what I was willing to pay!!!!:o

Cheer up Banj, you can always buy a Freelander and spend $10,000 on a engine rebuild and $5000 on a transmission rebuild plus $1200 for an Auto tranny cooler PLUS $325 for a Cam shaft Sensor!!!:mad: I must admit I didn't spend the money on the engine rebuild, it was done before I bought the car, but just the same thats a lot of money on a car that hasn't even done 100,000k's.:mad:

[Ausfree]

Oh, I forgot $200+ to have the radiator flushed out!!!:mad:

[Ausfree]

Also $66 to have ALL FOURX 4 read the computer to work out the Cam Shaft Sensor failure!!!:mad: AAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

That is a shame :(

... but for that money you can get a nice D1 Tdi .... :p

AND it will have coil springs, and a centre diff lock, and it will be at least 20-25yrs newer, and it will cost way less to run, and be more comfy to drive, and it has wind down windows, and disc brakes F&R, and, and, and, and .... :wasntme:

;)

keep the chain correctly sharpened, and it will also do this when it is older.

[Ausfree]

Hey Banj, guess what, when I got home after visiting you, the first model S3 ambulance was here from the UK. It is a 1/72 scale and there are two of them, so I guess the other two S3's will arrive soon. I am surprised they arrived so quickly!!!:o

[Ausfree]

John, I have another friend, who said when the chain saw needs resharpening, bring it to his place and he would be only too happy to do it!!!:) Aren't friends nice people to know!!!:D
