Friendly Fodens with two strokes

R.N.Z.Navy had repowered its fleet of 75' patrol boats with those things in the late 1950's. Also the police patrol boat "Deodar" had twins. I drove briefly for Ronnie Robinson of Ngaruawahia who made the mistake of buying two 8 wheelers hauling package timber Tokomaru/Auckland. They were a complete dud, even a commer knocker could do two trips a day to his one. Yes they had some crazy pnuemo-elastic shift preselect on a little cocktail stirer. Allover a very forgetable truck. rayman
