    go any where I reckon
    Mine was a soft top, on some tracks the only thing that kept it upright was the top of the roof, if you ddid get bogged you could pick them up, one end at at time. Jack up one back wheel and pull start them with a rope

    That's the one. A real little goer, as long as it was 2 up and not much gear.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    And they rapidly lost weight with age, due to rust. A good friend of mine had one.

    yeh, mine had plenty of rust, also had 15 303 bullet holes. It broke down on previous owner about 300m from his house so when he got home he got the rifle out and shot it. There it sat until I brought it
    cheers
