    Normal weekend here too. But I did fit the Icom 450N ( UHF CB ) and a couple of power outlets, one in the side of the FFR dash console and one in the tub. Didn't do the dual battery setup though.

    But unfortunately I think someone has stolen the whole vehicle.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Hey that reminds me - does anyone have any original FFR antenna mounts they wish to part with?

    What?!? Really Lotz-A-Landies?!? It's my biggest fear, I just figure that they won't get too far in a hurry...

    I think I saw pictures of someone paddling it in the river.

    Sounds ominous.

    You do know they aren't amphibious right?

    I managed to accidentally win myself a radiator and injectors at the AFM auctions today.

    well, I have a few dings in my current radiator anyway, and $39 was a cheap set of spare injectors I guess.

    would have liked the alternator and starter more though.

    EG: They don't float.

    EG: amphibious vehicle - reasonable boyancy:


    EG: Not amphibious - boyancy of a brick:


    I know not specifically a Perentie - but it floats just like one.

    I will add, however, that it is quite difficult to find images of bogged or drowned perenties.

    Wether that be because they just don't get bogged or drowned, or because most of that happens in places and operations the public don't get to hear about.... I don't know.

    Yes I think it was a disco, I was reading an article about it a while back.
    it turned me off buying a used disco, and got a Perentie instead.

    Weren't the British experimenting with retractable cloth pontoons on the sII's or SIII's? at one stage?

    so they could float them across the channel?

    I believe they even had a prop driven from the pto.
