Shorty: I'm still teeing this up as it's a job to do. If all goes well, I'll be passing your way in March, on the way the Lake Gairdner for the Australian Land Speed Records, I'll get back to you when I've got a more firm time schedule.

Aussie Land Speed records? You got room at the end of the convoy? Petrol head from way back. I can still vividly remember Donald Cambell's Blue Bird, taking about a seven point turn on the float to get around the corner at the Pump Hotel in Aldgate for his attempt back in the sixties. W e even had a half day of school to see it come through the town.Quote:

what did you think i said? he replied "are you an ABO"
just goes to show why your parents put so much emphasis on pronunciation.

Aussie dress codes for men would be ...their little brothers shirts and slip on shoes
Aussie women would be wearing black hessian bags and big arsed shoes .
All the Aussie men would look like Super Mario Bro's lolol and driving Niva's as they are just an overlander Fiat
Go easy on us "many a generation Native Australian's" :D :D
Exactly Clarkie. My Grand Mother was one of the "stolen generation".Quote:

Bushie: Yup! Nut I wouldn't mind a few more than the three we've had in the past 25 years.
Barney: there are people at the local uni who have an 'issue' with anyone using such language, like ABO. I wonder about academics..................
Sith: Got it... I forgot about the Pirelli tyres......
Hello clarkie, I hope you're well, haven't seen you for a while, trust life has improved....
Ron: Right on both (any relation to Thomas?)
MB6: It's interesting the lineage of our lives, my wife works with a woman who is a navajo indian, living in Aussie, as is her parents and kids, and has done for some long time.
But, inadvertently, I've hijacked this, (sorry), we're all supposed to be giving reads90 a hard time 'cause he's a pom and should be at work on Aussie Day or Invasion Day or whatever.... I understand the Yanks have a 'Presidents day'..... che?
