Hey Wedgy,
We use it about every third weekend, plus other events, and (hopefully) for holidays as well.

According to the guru's the injector numbers and pump suggest that it is making 350hp; it is not an electronic engine in fact it is the very last mechanical engine delivered in Australia so Detroit suggest.
My engine is not spotless, it is a Detroit after all ::) but it doesn't leak much and that is a plus.

We do lots of mufflers, from mild to wild (no guess as to which one I have), and a whole range of exhaust accessories too; told you I would take an hour and a half, now you know why ;D ;D

There was an Isuzu bus at Lockington yesterday kitted out as a Campervan. It's from down near Warrnambool but had vans surrounding it on all 4 sides that you had to walk under their annexes to see it.

It's for sale as the owner's want to downsize to something driveable on a car licence

Having lived through a pandemic I now understand all the painting of fat people on couches!

Continuing my portrait set from the Pioneer Express 60th anniversary rally. AFAIK both of these have mobile-home interiors.

Hmmm, if I had the money and a shed big enough, they would both be in it :)

Copied across from a post by 'Bobsboy' in 'Tractors and other old stuff', about a visit to Mt Laura Homestead, SA.

You know the unfortunate part, that would have been someone's pride and joy and love for a long time. And now look at the poor dear.. :-/

Replied by Roderick Smith on topic Re: Flxible Clipper
Euroa (Vic.): FC rally, grey, blue & silver Flxible Clipper FLX129. Sun.29.3.15. (Roderick Smith)
This one has a second bite of the cherry: it got its own portrait photo in Melbourne, and was in the pole position at Euroa.
I had it confused with FLX116 as I prepared it.

I am trying to get a portrait of each, but missed some. This one was the obscured rear of a pair in an earlier post.
