    A funny sight just before Xmas

    Been having a few car probs? Some of us have, it's Christmas time. This may make a few feel a little better. (Ray and me for starters).

    Earlier today, I was leaving Lismore heading east, and there was this procession heading west.


    Being towed was a not so old (maybe 90's) Toyota Troopie with several people on board, the tow car was a nice new Hyundai Terracan. The towline looked like a snatch strap, uh-oh! Where's the camera when you need it?

    Just thought I'd share this with y'all. Hee haw! and Merry Christmas!

    A funny sight just before Xmas

    That's a nice photo of one of the lightweights that used to belong to the Honorable ArtilleryCompany they are the ones that do the ceromonial gun salutes at the Tower Bridge they were released about 2000/2001, there were 4 from memory. they had all the "Bling" bits before "Bling" and the 25 lb-ers that they towed were "Blinged-up" as well.
