1 Bravo 6

G'Day Justin, Yep, it's true mate. Those truckies were allowed to pass through the roadblock. There's an inquiry being made. Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey there Gazza, How do you reckon you'd go if she sat on your lap mate??????. Gawd, ... what a terrible way to die. Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey there Darryl, Leaving Yeppoon on Monday morning for Adelaide where we put the Prado on the Indian Pacific bound for Perth, arriving in west Oz on the 22nd. We couldn't go from Sydney 'cause the convict built tunnel roofs are too low and we'd wind up with a convertible Prado. Rick :devious::devious:

Z train, Bill, I suggest you go back and read your original post. You came across rather strong and pissed off. I suspect a lot of the other members took your wording as I did. I for one took offence at your choice of words. You may not have meant it that way but that's how I read your comment. "What the hell is wrong with this forum?" That's a pretty strong statement. "This is getting really friggin' old". That sounds pissed off to me. That is NOT just a "simple, straight forward question". Sailor Bob has the right idea. $10.oo each would just about set Mike up for retirement. My problem is that last time I sent $10.oo to America it cost me more than that just to send it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey there Lady, I'm very sorry to hear of your accident. I think we can all sympathize with you over the loss of your car. (I cried when I parted company with my 1963 EJ Holden Sedan). Intense pain and I are old friends so can honestly say that I know how you feel. Whatever you do, (as other members have already advised), don't let the insurance company bulldoze you into accepting a pittance as a consolation. Take the buggers for everything you can get and then ask for more. Those organizations don't CARE about individual pain and suffering and loss. They just want to get out of the situation as cheaply as possible. Thankfully, you've retained your good looks. Keep your chin up girl, Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey Gary, Oz is a land of extremes. While the north of the continent is threatened by a cyclone, the east coast of Queensland and northern New South Wales are being deluged by rain due to a couple of low depressions that's steadily moving south, the southern states of Victoria and South Australia are being blasted by a heat wave and there's bushfires in Western Australia. Next Monday, the Wife and I are off on a touring holiday for about six weeks. Where are we going???? yep, that's right, heading south through New South Wales, Victoria, South Oz and Western Oz. I guess we'll have to pack our rain coats, umbrellas and gum boots as well as sun tan lotion, fire extinguishers and fire blankets. Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey Craig, Will knows all about Drop Bears mate. The funny thing is though, .... Back in the early 80's I warned a group of Marines about Drop Bears, Hoop Snakes and Wobegongs and they believed me but when I described a Platypus to them, they thought I was having them on. Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey Will, That bit about the virgin chicken is a very, very old story mate. I'm certain that I read a similar story in a book years and years ago. Rick. :devious::devious:

Gee, I'm glad it wasn't a Zed. Rick. :devious::devious:

Now we know what the Sailor does on shore leave. When he's not voyageing he's voyeuring in the park. Rick. :devious::devious:

My initial reaction when I find that the site is down is; ARRRGGGHHHH, ---- DON'T PANIC, DON'T PANIC !!!!!!!!!! What'll I do ????, What'll I DO ????? I know, .... I'll go kick the cat !!!!. Oh, POOP!!!! I haven't got a cat anymore. Kicked it once too often. Calm down Rick, calm down mate .... now, ... what can you do ? WHAT CAN YOU DO ??????? Think mate, think............. HMMMM, The fuel filter clamp needs derusting and painting. RIGHT, .. that'll keep me busy for a while. Must remember to PM Will and complain bitterly about PURPOSELY causing the site to go down JUST so he can be NASTY to me personally 'cause I won't tell him the correct amount of talc to use when hiding in a corner. I'm not going to tell him WHICH corner to hide in either. SO THERE !!!!!!! (If you think the drivel above was stupid, well, ... so's complaining about something that neither Mike or Will has absolutely no control over. For my two cents, I reckon you blokes do a bloody great job). Rick. :devious::devious:

Thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers Gary, They're much appreciated mate. On a personal level, The floods are nowhere near me and mine. Rick.

Good Grief !!!!!!!!!!!!! All I asked was; What's happened to the other ladies that used to post on this site????? A good thing we've still got Darbji huhh ??????? it helps to keep our posts more "gentlemanly". WOW !!!!!! 3 Pages !!!!!! Rick. :devious::devious:

Yair Will, You're right mate. Is Darbji the only one remaining ???????????? Rick. :devious::devious:

Will, OFF corse I am am. Rick. :devious::devious:

Absolutely nothing can be more misunderstood than the written word. Oooooh, Stephen !!!!!! I get all goose bumpy when you talk rough like that. I never post until I've read what I've written at least twice. Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey there Will, Tell me mate, .... how long has it been since you had time to go fishing ????? Rick. :devious::devious:

If you can't find a sticker in the engine compartment or on the door/door jam, then do what I did; contact your Nissan dealer with the ORIGINAL engine number and body number. If they're anywhere near even half way efficient, they should get back to you within 24 hours with the paint code. That cuts out any guess work.:devious::devious: Rick.

Use the HELP ME forum for your questions mate. You'll get more replies that way. Rick.

G'Day mate, You'd be better off if you posted your queries in the HELP ME forum. You'll probably be inundated with replies. Rick.

Dave, A high percentage of true blue Aussies have Irish blood in their veins and with a surname of O'Brien, Sheila and I might even be related. Gazza, You've given me an idea for a thread. Rick. :devious::devious:

dade 280, That's what's so great about having grandsons. You can spend hours in a toy shop checking out the toy cars to ensure that they're suitable for the "youngen". Of course, being in the 60's people think you've reverted to a second childhood and you can get away with it. (Actually, I'm not out of my FIRST childhood yet. After all, .... I'm still playing with cars aren't I ???). Rick. :devious::devious:

Hey there Dave, When you say you "Married a Shiela", do you mean that you have your very own, true blue, fair dinkum Aussie girl ????????????? Mate, .... you must be the envy of all your friends if that's the case. As for the climate here, ... well, .... as they say in the Queensland tourist ads, Great one day, perfect the next. Living on the coast in Central Queensland, I have a choice of half a dozen beaches to fish from. Eat your hearts out you lot. Rick. :devious::devious:

G'Day there Dave, A very warm welcome from the Land Down Under. For your first piece of advice; Make use of the SEARCH feature for any problem you may come up against. You'll find it to be quite comrehensive as, whatever might possibly go wrong with a Zed has, at one time or another, been fixed and the details posted by one or more of the members. Rick. :devious::devious:

FWIW, the wiper arms on my 8/74 260Z were silver. Rick. :devious::devious:
