Willis Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Well, what is it???? +1. What is it Dave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 haha. Well its not toyota. I'ts a 1986 Holden drover, which is a badge engineered SJ50? Suzuki sierra. It was my grandpas (hes just been told hes not able to drive anymore :( ), he bought it new in 1986, its done 127,000kms, never been offroad,always lived in the garage and not a spot of rust. metalic grey colour. They were just going to get rid of it, but i can't let that happen to such a good car, and i think it will be nice to get it back into good condition and get some use out of it. Grandpa will like that. It needs a fair amount of maintenance work done to it (new rubber kit for doors, new oils everywhere, brakes i suspect will need an overhaul, there is an epic oil leak from somewhere, front diff seals are had it, timing belt/water pump). few hundred bucks and a few days work will get it going. Plan is to get it back onto the road with some better tyres and maybe a snorkel thingo, and take it camping/4wd'ing. A fraser island weeks holiday is in its initial planning stages...

Willis Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Nice one man. I wouldn't mind a 4WD. For towing things and the occasional bit of camping. Would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towe001 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Personally i'd sooner spend that much on a hooker for a night, but beggars can't be choosers. i'll just whip out the cheque book. Edit: beggars, buggers. Its all the same, no ? Edited November 25, 2012 by towe001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Good to hear that our troops are coming back home from Afghanistan and East Timor. Doesn't matter if you or I think they should have or shouldn't have, our troops did what their employer asked them to do and some went above and beyond the call of duty. Our returning troops should be treated as heroes due to everything they left behind for the call to help another country. Please don't let this turn into another Vietnam for our troops.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to a point. However personally I don't think we have completed the mission yet. (Afghanistan that is, overdue for Timor due to just being an aerolift capability for them using our money instead of theirs) Edited November 26, 2012 by Tume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Afghanistan that is) Agreed, i don't believe its finished. But then again when will the war on terror be finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willis Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Went on a bit of a Simpson's tangent there, ended up watching the nail through the foot. Man, how hard I laughed when I first saw that as a kid. I love the Simpsons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineers/Logistics ? Hopefully he doesn't get to see much action during his deployment. On another page - the neighbours across the road, wife just before she went out asked the hubby to clean to floors cause they had some friends coming over sometime today. Yep, so he did.... with the his petrol powered garden blower..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
