Oh hang about, I just discovered a slight flaw in my comment.

Hmmmm? I've slept on a bench seat in said conditions, minus the sunnies, because I'm not that flawed. Unless you're on watch, asleep is where you should be at midnight, or in a drunken stupor.

I thought at one stage it would be nice to own a Rover bicycle ( Safety Cycle) , in my search I found that around 1916 Howard Motor & Cycles Co Ltd imported & sold Rover bicycles in Rockhampton before selling cars in Brisbane . They were later a BMC dealer along with UK Motors. I still search vintage bicycle adds in the Rockhampton area but so far no luck. There are probably one or two laying around in an old shed up there & the owners don't know what they are.

I kept looking to see where the Funeral Deafener130 was leaking oil but didn't see one drop. It just shows they can do it when it suits them, or someone hurriedly cleaned it up before it moved off each time.

I reckon, but also kept wondering what if it wouldn't start or move when it was required??? Say the dreaded oil in the loom etc? There were lotsa blokes there to give it a push start but a TD5?

Well it didn't happen & LR got plenty of Publicity which the late Phil probably would have disagreed on.

HM was surrounded by 700 plus people but she still did look so lonely & I wanted to race over & give her a hug.


I realise it is the system but........................ .



HM the Q. "Eeh 'allo 4bee, nice of you to drag your Royalist arse away from AULRO for me, much appreciated mate since I have only my embarrassing family here".

Well she may have said that.

She is really the one I will miss when she goes. Out comes yet another 130.

Electric I believe, although the gear box, diffs, and TC,if still LR products could still leave the tell tale marks on the ground no doubt
