Australian Belly Tank

[Freud]

Dr G came and left the good old US of A and we survived.

It seems to me that we should put Australia in jeopardy by about 100 of us going to the wedding without

invitations or presents or a return ticket.

See if the idyllic Island nation could survive that.

Merry Christmas Dr G and don't forget the SPF 30 as u wait to be allowed back in the house.

Sounds like a fine plan!

Congratulations on getting married.  It will give you happiness for years to come.

I thought the car was our wife and the girls were our mistresses?

yeah, well I might have completed the mission but I landed pretty heavily and didn't emerge from the hanger for quite some time.....that had more to do with the Cali part of the operation than the clean livin Utah bit though.....

No, he is, registry, in sin.

Now , down to the real nitty-gritty ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEi4e87jSJA )...it's been a quiet holiday break full of relaxment..no work on the Spirit or the Sprite, I have done a bit of staring at the Sprite which we of course all know is important. The only thing I have done is buy a new mower!!!!!the 6 year old one broke the blade boss, the oil looked a little like metallic paint and I was worried I might have to change it, or the plug..........and I know there are people who like toolin' around with lawn-mowers,but not me.

Hmmm . . . charter a plane, perhaps, Freud?

Don't beat yourself up on the California aspect of the trip - Been there - it's an environmental issue over which you have little or no control.

Ah, why not?  As long as we're on the issue of spelling accuracy on another topic -- unh, Goggs, did you really emerge from the wire thingie that's use to support clothing in the closet?  Perhaps, if you meant the building erected to house an airplane -- you meant to type "hangar".

Got you. . .

Probably the key post...` Every day a preconception about the US was changed in a positive way` New Zealanders and Australians have been bombarded for generations by anti-american sentiment, primarily through the news media, also partially through the `Tall Poppy` syndrome. We were all expected to do our Overseas Trip to Europe, where we did all the expected things. Automotive things were grudgingly accepted if connected to Formula 1 and the like..(thanks to Brabham, McLaren et al ) so the snotty comments were always levelled....Why would you Ever want to go THERE...The truth is simple. People throughout the world are not much different. These pursuits/obsessions that we have bring Good People to the Top, regardless of where they are from.That, in itself, should stay with us into 2012 and beyond. Sorry for the verbage everone....life experiences and all.....HAPPY NEW YEAR EH?

True that Paul.

It would be acceptable to use "thingies" but I can assure you in the singular you would be safer with "thingy" , this place is really going downhill

one all.










































Shazzam!!!

[Elmo Rodge]

I've got a head start on ya. I'm already as down hill as I can get.  Happy Gnu Year. Wayno

[SPARKY]

Where art thou my good Dr G 

[Freud]

He has been surprisingly quiet recently, hasn't he?

Ever think that wedding is choking him?

This may be his MO from now on.

Or...... he may have relocated to void our charter when we go to experience his surrender.

Watch it Pops, I'm lurking just below the surface, the moment you dip a toe in I'll trim the nail.

I read every new post on the forum but am conscious that not everyone wants my smartarse interpretation on every single topic....this is the low salt time of the year on Landracing , and yeah I have been watching the trash-talk fest in the build up to the Will-he-or-Wont-he-mington but there hasn't been much happening in the Spirit Of Sunshine Bellytank workshop and Possum Park because the Doctor's meagre financial resources are being directed at the upcoming nuptials.

It was in a way the ideal time to skip a meet because we are yet to sort the HANS , we need to get a new helmet and there's some tidy up items to be attended to, on top of the Reverend being in China

I popped up on the DLRA board a few times recently with largely nonsensical, factually dubious advice ...there's a bunch of new serious young insects on there who just think I'm a wack-job , so it's pretty even between here and there now......

....this is the low salt time of the year on Landracing ,

I can smell the salt at Lake G from here. Oh that's right, you're not going
