Overlander's old Photos

Sorry for the delay in the next installment .... got my self a little busy this week ... but here they are

Greetings. Looks like I had the wobbly boot on when I took the Finemores x 3 - a bit out of focus and a bit skewed- taken at West Wylong. I did a very quick expresso-bongo trip to Sydney and back in the red SAR- 450 cummins and pulled like a schoolboy. Mick, the driver was busy blowing a car-caravan off the road east of Hay when an Emu decided to cross the road but didn't make it. We were washing the DNA off the truck at West Wylong when a very agitated car driver approached and complained to Mick about the damage to his car and the mental health of him and his family from the Emu episode but Mick was more concerned about having a clean truck than listening to a bloke who looked like he'd been on the 'shakers'. Whenever we saw and photographed Sporne's Macks they always looked clean. Stay tuned

Any photos of Spornes Macks? I remember, no shoes to be worn in the cab, tin of silvafros and small paint brush in the toolbox to to repair the chipped paint on the wheel nuts when you got a puncture.

Aaah the dreaded silvafros paint, I remember when i drove the 8 series MAN's for Jetaway L.E.S used to slap that stuff on the wheels when trucks were washed &serviced what a b

d to change a tyre when you had flat the wheel stud threds all clogged up with the stuff :evil: :evil:

Now there's a blast from the past - you guys can still remember how to spell Silvafros correctly. My only exposure was to paint the bandsaw in the old man's butcher shop when I was about 12. .....and then again a couple of years later.

Still remember? Of course. Umm, what was the question again. Lol. Actually it only seems like yesterday. How time flies.
