My work buddy, Joel, and I were working in a semi remote farming area and we had stopped by a servo for fuel and oil. In those days a servo had a driveway attendant. Joel asked for oil and the servo asked just what grade he was wanting. Joel explained he needed some to prevent the cylinder rings...

To turn an A Model into a Hotrod is murder. You say the owners just like to look at them? Well I don't mind looking at my 28 ute (pickup) either. Best looking vehicle ever built! gary

Hi Jim. I'll write you a story of my friend Graham who flew through a tree in a show-off display at an airshow. He also had broken ribs as well as broken legs. Ego still intact. cheers, gary

We have a new national hero. A 13 year old. Mother and 3 kids went paddling in the sea some at Toby’s Bay, some 160 miles south of Western Australia’s capital: Perth. The 4 were on 2 paddle boards and 1 kayak. This was about mid-morning an off shore wind developed which intensified during the...

Hello George, now that you have started writing, don't stop. I couldn't run a sentence together when I started writing in this forum, at school I never passed 30% in English and even now totally dependant on spell check. It has been writing in this forum that has smartened me up. Plus it has...

Bob Adams and his wife Wendy made a visit to Russia in 1984. This is the one incident that is noteworthy and whilst that is so, it varies quite differently to my visit made in 2023. I am not endeavouring to promote Russia but twenty odd years had elapsed between his visit and mine. This is...

Both adults and kids love it but the fire engine still holds top place with the kids.

Coming soon. A story from my friend Bob about his trip to Russia. At and agricultural show the tour guide ( security officer) lost sight of Bob. That was why he had difficulty in departing Moscow. It's an intriguing story.

And only 10 shopping days left. Who cares? Just tell your family you love them and tell your friends you enjoy their company. Give your dog a bone or a chocolate biscuit. That's plenty.

Moscow. Informative and interesting. Patsy, Moo and I had 3 days and 2 part days in Moscow, enough to make a good observation and assessment. Here it is. After landing and whilst taxing to the terminal I looked for Russian made aeroplanes and saw none. All western types. Moo said he counted 7...

TRAVEL. It was on an airliner flight from Hong Kong to England I made some curious observations. A 15 hour flight, all in daylight because we were flying west, following the sun so to speak. Unfortunately the first 2 hours was on top of cloud which deprived me of seeing much of China but when...

yes David, that is possibly so. A smaller bore will deliver less power. Love your motorcar. cheers, gary

A most unusual racing car. Goondiwindi is a reginal town in on the banks of the McIntyre river which forms the state boarder between Queensland and New South Wales. It is the business and commercial centre for a large cropping and grazing area in both states. It is also the home of a well known...

That was a comprehensive and excellent reply to Winter you provided Jay Jay. I enjoyed reading it. And you too Keith True.

Hi Katy. I had in mind Louis Armstrong. High Society

A new but unwelcome experience. Malaysia is comprised of 2 locations. Peninsula Malaysia which you would all know is located between Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south. Plus in the west of Borneo is their state of Sarawak and in the north of Borneo is Sabah. It is in Sabah where...

Our ultra wealthy inner city locations are now known as Tesla Zones.

Beautiful even elegant but Unwanted. I purchased some quality heavy and attractive timber from the Daintree area which is tropical rainforest in far North Queensland. I had it transported to Melbourne some 1801 miles south and made into quality dining tables for my kids. Two were returned which...

hi Blockhead-y. I checked and yes you are correct. Must be that aging ailment starting with letter "D" when memory retention is comparable to that of a gold fish. Do read the third line in my signature below which hopefully will clarify. cheers, gary.

My A cruises well at 45 and I always wondered why other owners could get better speed than I. So it is good to see many drivers don’t and my old quote comes to mind. Here it is. There are more lies told about the size of fish caught and especially the ones that got away. There are more lies...
