Greenie,

This was just what I wanted to do! Similar to the old Brambles trucks! Seeing the Leaders Brambles owned in the Leader book was the start of this brilliant idea!

Joe

Howdy all,

Great News on the paint front!!!

I consulted with a friend of mine who owns a smash reapir/paint shop up from me dad's mechanic's shop in Dubbo - guess what???

I can get Brambles Orange paint!!! The PPG computer colour matching system has a match on it - even down to as far as what vehicle makes are to be painted in that colour, types of paint system can be used and all the tinters and appropriate stuff that needs to go into the paint!!!

Well that's a start! Thanks greenie for your help on the photo as well, mate!!!

Joe

Now that you have sorted out the paint you needed to find the truck and buy it .Dave

Joe

Do you want me to inspect it for you : yeah i shouldn't have any trouble with it it's only like a Bedford . Dave

Dave,

You mean to tell me you WILL drive 1200km just to look at the truck for me???

Mate, if you're up to it, go ahead but pick me up on ya way through!!!

Joe

Dave,

Fly into Dubbo, meet me at me old man's shop and we'll return to the airport and fly to Sydney - I'll price my tickets from Qantaslink!

Can't be next weekend or the weekend after the weekend after next as I have family coming - name the date and I'll make sure to book my tickets!

Joe

Joe

But i do hav a U bute Spellin checkr Jist 4 U n me

Eye have aspelling chequer
It came with my pee see.
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
and weight four it too say
weather eye am wrong oar write:
it shows me straight a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
it nose before two long
and eye can put an error rite
it's rarely ever wrong

Eye have run this poem threw it,
Iam shore your pleased two no.
It's letter perfect in every weigh:
my chequer tolled me sew.
