Ranger had plastic flares over the guards perchance?

If so that's the spanker model.

This morning , would have been around seven, I was heading for Toowoomba from Brisbane,and somewhere around Marburg I was overtaken by a very shiny and spotless silver Puma 110. I was in the well laden blue county with an AULRO spare tyre cover. Anyone from here?

That's my neck of the woods, John. You could've called in for coffee.
I've seen that silver Defender about but don't know the owner.

Yesterday I drove from Brisbane to home via Cecil Plains, so did not exactly have the time to drop in.

I have been to a conference at the Brisbane convention centre, travelling with a friend and carrying the whole back of the 110 filled with his exhibition materials, with just enough room to pick up one of his employees on the way. This was the return trip. One flat tyre, not too bad for a 37 year old car with almost 700,000 on the clock.

Unfortunately, between being tied up like that and at the convention, I had no time for anything else.

After a pleasant lunch with Saitch, I proceeded to Ferny Grove, where I parked opposite a very tidy gold, D2a. As it left I got a hearty wave, stoked. It was better when I realised an attractive young lady on the other end of the wave, double stoked.

Never happens to me. I get old, bucolic bastards slowly raising the index finger off the steering wheel, in the time honoured manner.
