Thanks for the info. Grumm

And the pic Rob! Waynes Monaro is a mean looking beast! One of my lasting memories of Gairdner is hearing that thing at full chat 200 plus....

Awesome....... :-P

Great to meet you Paul ( and all the other people I met for the first time this year) and it was great see all the people I've gotten to know before, both here and on the salt. Had a great day with Freud and talked lakesters with Sparky, good people right there.

I did what I could to support local businesses, particularly the lovely Carmen's fine establishment.....now speaking of Carmen's I may have coined a new phrase, asked the other night how it took me so long to get back to the motel a said "well I took the shortest route home, I just drew a pretty squiggly line along it..."

So the the shortest way is " as the crow flies"...the longest?..."as the aussie walks"

We spent a good hour with Andy and his brother. Truly one of the nicest tanks ever built. He was holding back with the stuff he posted online. An engineer that can fab and weld!?!?!?!?! :-D

Hi Tman

Is the Tank you are talking about the injected flathead with a covered roll cage, frame done in a dark grey color?

That is bar none the best tank ever built, the driver protection is perfect!
