Yes – certainly a character. His off sider was worse – or better – depending on your point of view. He was a retired Melbourne copper and probably one of the last of the old school cops where no mamby pandering of the bad guys was allowed.....and he loved his whiskey too! I wish I'd photographed the 101 and also had the wisdom to write down their yarns. But..... all this doesn't help with the 101.

I haven't seen them or the 101 for years. I have been battling my memory to recall his name – I've got a perfect mental picture of them but that doesn't help much - although I'd bet on his Christian name being Alan. Next time I am in one of the bush areas he used to haunt I'll check with a mate – an old time high country cattleman - to see if he knows what happened to them and the 101.

I think I made a big mistake today.....huge. I cheerfully followed a Perentie into town and parked next to it. It turns out I know the owner and he graciously allowed me to crawl all over it. I can't recall which model he said his Perentie was but not a GS...maybe FFR or Surveillance. According to him it has disc brakes and up rated axles. To date he has covered some 15,000 kms of highway traveling with out a single problem.

Well....I couldn't get the stupid grin off my face. I did however remember to take note of where to fix the mesh panels you guys mentioned so thanks again for that.

I did have a sit in the drivers seat. But oh me oh my.....that clutch pedal.....it would have to be the hardest one I can ever recall pressing............

U need to try a s2a clutch pedal. Heavier than a perentie one. Ask me how i know. I was going to get a booster just for the s2a clutch pedal its that heavy. On the contrast the clutch pedal in my s3 186, nissan 5speed box, u can push down with ur little finger.
