That's a great story Joe, and congratulations Frank on such a great job on the Mickey Mouse Foden from an ex-Mickey Mouse driver.

Vic,
So it's the S21 which was referred to as the "Mickey Mouse" Foden??? I loved reading the story as much as you lot will! I know a fellow who's restoring a old FG Foden tractor unit - most of the Australian members will know who I am talking about!
Also, Frank's choice of colours was chosen by Frank himself as this is Boral Green and Gold - Frank went into Boral and they supplied him with the paint.... he had to pay for the job to be done!

The S21 was certainly the one called Mickey Mouse, Joe, and here is the NZ version which had the roof extended over the windscreens to form a sun visor. I think they look better for it, too. This is the one I used to drive, and you don't need to tell me it has appeared on here before because I know that!

Vic,
Still learnin' about these old Fodens! I can't wait to see this old FG tractor unit Murray Langford is restoring - hope he has it finished by the time the Golden Oldies show in Dubbo is on in 2010!

David,
Welcome to the HCVC Forums - I agree with ya there! Might try and find out contact details to see if Frank will bring it to Dubbo as I have NEVER seen any Foden, let alone a old one!
