The one I saw was named "Thunder Down Under" but the photo I have is horrible.

Bruce,

It's in a post in another board within this forum - you need to find it so you can confirm what I said! The guys who own her now are rebuilding it to Waltzing Matilda's specs as a replica! They're looking for the frame which held the jet engine onto the body.

Thanks for the reminder. See the post above, I did see a Jet Truck but had the wrong name

Bruce,

That Lister Autotruck you have - were they very common in Australia? I somehow remember VW having one at their Wolfsburg factory - similar design to the Lister but they used VW's patented 1600cc flat 4 aircooled engine as the motive power - however I stand to be corrected!

I'm gonna switch me on over to channel 0 - I'm a bit knackered and need some beauty sleep! It's been a real nice opportunity to catch up with you fellas and share some BS stories but, as I said, I'm all tuckered out! Catch you guys on the flip side and remember - keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down!!
