Not a great deal happening here been working on Harry when i can, rains oneday the sunny the next & keeps going like that..
I have'nt heard from Aus accept the short posts so was thinking i may have ofended him or upset him.I think of Jim as i did of OLD TOM that used to call in & see me before he passed away.I have a lot of respect for Jim so does Karen & we both think Jims wife is awesome , The pair of them are always so happy..Old Tom was the only person i ever seen outside of my mother who used to call in on monday morning before her ten pin bowling..Old Tom was the only person to call in & see if i was ok. he called in weekly unless he was away.A few days after he passed away his daughter was diagnosed with canser in a very bad way & they did'nt think she would live i used to service her car regulary but have'nt seen her since Tom died .. I got a shock the other day they drove past while i was mowing the lawn & tooted to me, I was happy that day just to see them out & remember me.I miss Tom badly as we used to laugh alot & he would encourage me to keep doing what ever i was working on..I wish he got to see the green car finished & to see we have the camper & that i have been away even though it was only to my folks place..I'm hoping he would of been proud that i did that..He seen me at my worst but never ever said anything.. Yeah i miss Tom..:(
I have been meaning to get to his place but now we back to one car & Karen uses it for work & weekend to get stuff we need & isnt home much & i have'nt been out for awhile..Just never seems to be enough hours in a day lately..
Plus the green car wants to play up every other day bloody car..
When i built it we where worse off then what we are now so alot of things parts just got put back on.The only brandnew things we fitted where the springs & shocks everything else was secondhand or just put on..Oh yeah new brakes which i'm guessing need replacing by now..
We got the power steering all sorted now & Karen says its all good again.
Hey Banj, don't be upset, I'm still here mate. it's just that working 6 days a week keeps me going and I do have to keep an eye on "Landytown" as you know I am a moderator there and it does take up some time!!!:D I will have to call around and catch up, mate!!!:D:D
Glad to see that some of us lot are alive and well:D
Banjo, chin up mate, if we were closer we would call in but alas we aren't:(
You are doing a terrific job, keeping things running, keep up the good work:D

Saw you driving the "Green Machine" this morning Karen, I did wave hoped you saw me!!! Bloody rain, I was all ready to put Concrete Sealer over our driveway. It is what they call a stencilled type which needs resealing every now and then. I last did it about twelve years ago and it is way overdue to be redone. I pressure blasted the driveway last weekend and did it again during the week plus trimming the grass right away from the edges. I bought two 20litre drums of sealer and a bag of ground glass (spread over the sealer to prevent slipping when you walk on it), plus a couple of cheap nylon brooms to brush the sealer on.
Weather has been great all week, and I wake up early this morning all primed for action, looks out the window.................Bloody Rain!!:mad:
My FL1 will have clocked up 120,000k's in a few months so I contacted ALLFourx4 to ask them to check their records as I believe the previous owner had the engine rebuilt sometime before he sold it. I wanted to check if the T-Belts had been replaced so I would'nt have to go to the expense of replacing them. The answer I got back was that they have no record of the car prior to me bringing it to them for service. This seems strange as when I first went there the receptionist looked up the computer and mentioned the first owners name.:confused: Also when I was having the Auto Tranny problems a few years back the mechanic working on my car had to order parts through them and mentioned that the vehicle has a track record there.:confused::confused:
Anyrate, Banj, I asked AllFourx4 for a rough estimation for a 120,000k service and to replace the T-Belts and the estimate came in at just under $2,000.:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o
We have about four months to go before the vehicle reaches 120,000ks and we are starting to think about getting rid of it and buying a Jeep Cherokee!!!!!!
NOT HAPPY JAN!!!! :BigCry::BigCry:
Don't you bloody dare James..........................next you'll be wanting to drive Hino or Isuzu busses. :mad::mad::mad:
