The pride of our fleet, an ex-army KS6 re-engined with a 5 cylinder Gardner, matched to a 5 speed fuller, one cog for each cylinder
anything above the reasoning of a mongrel dog is a waste of time

Although she wore the scars from battles with cattle she carried on without missing a beat, unknowing the fate that awaited her.

Due to inexperience the driver selected neutral to coast down a hill, never made it on a bend at the bottom, a perishable run with two drivers, Harry Harker, asleep on top of the load was killed, the driver unhurt, as seems to usually happens

here it is sitting in our yard, like a faithful old dog we could not have it put down, so sent it down to Adelaide to have the body,"buffed out" as swishy would say,
also it only had a couple of hundred thousand miles on it.
