I think i've pointed that out before

Well your way the hell outa my way rovercare...

is there any chance you know where lucas or turtle are at...

I'll be dropping big red at lucas's for the duration of my perth stay (bout 4 weeks) and while my current time and space for the trip doesnt allow for any lollygogging time in melbourne Im hoping either your or his movements will get you within cooee of each other for a quick hand off and then the said item can be just dumped in the back of big red....

I probabley wont have time to even look at it untill say march april next year. so its not super urgent, IF need be I'll just pay to freight it up/source one locally after the posting/hope the AULRO express (potential sub catagory title???) gets up and running in time to get it moved.

oh and Rovercare, when you pull one apart, you'll see lots of little things that look like wheels with notches in em, they are called GEARS...originally the things they came mounted in were squareish in shape like a BOX one might say, the logical name would be wiat for it... wait for it...

GEAR ______________ BOX


Gear ____ Box


Gear Box


Gearbox..

see how easy that is?

now if they were filled with men who like to dress like women (TRANSvestites) and shaped like a nuns convents accomodation in affrica (MISSION)

then you could call them a

TRANS MISSION...

hang on, isnt there something about blokes who drive automatic gearboxes being somewhat girly?

I think im onto something there... :P

Transmission is what we did at the tv station - transmit, radio waves...
(I thought we were tv, so why were they radio waves, they should've been tv waves).

And the local links were microwaves, but they couldn't cook anything.

How's your day going black knight - got another auto in the house to fix?

I'll ensure Jeffrey has a word with Sir Humbert about such terms and removes all automatic gearboxes from all future Land Rovers.

cheer up mate, it's Christmas time.

Like I keep telling people I need a sarcasm font... (apply to all after the 4th paragraph of my last post in this thread)

Im having a Great Xmas..

Due to the surgery Im not allowed to drive..
Im getting waited on hand and foot
and on my con leave app instructions the doc red penned out the line that read.

7. not to consume alcohol.

so IF all gets to going my way (and most of it has I'll get to ride around in other peoples rovers and see my home state... and being recovering from surgery on my legs you cant expect me to get out and help push/dig can you?


oh Did I mention 9 weeks off....... PAID...

I'm sorry black knight, your leg situation slipped my mind...

But you must look at the upside: you're not working on automatic transmissions, err, gearboxes - for another nine weeks....

probably not a good time to ask: "how's it hangin'"?

Fast forward thru the section in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where the they meet the the knights of ni......

Enjoy your restive situation.
