  1. Dunno about your weather, but we are on the kero kite getting out of Dodge as they say in the westerns
  2. I use this style of pry bar, the hookend and this usually gets the injectors out Have tried the slide hammer and if the injector is really stuck it just busts the injector The pry bar and working it a bit and plenty of possom piss and they come out okay Paul
  3. Helping Tim Maikshilo and his family from the forum shift back to NewZealand We fly out tonight Paul
  4. Less than 12 hours left Sure is different than the wide brown land I'm used to Not in a bad way different, just very different Paul
  5. Catching the big kero kite home today This is a very different part of the world
  6. Well I was sitting about, twiddling my thumbs and heard something about shovelling snow Quickly stuck my hand up So was handed a shovel and pointed towards the drive way End result was less snow on the drive So I have pushed this white stuff off a drive Cross that off the list of lifes achievements lol Paul
  7. Well no matter what you blokes say, it was cold for me today, the wind chill sorted me out Paul
  8. Looking good, cold in Connticuit at the moment, coldest it's ever been in my life Very shiny and looking neat as a pin. Paul
  9. Good job
  10. I would imagine the bent window, then the latches, followed by the glass etc Paul
  11. Welcome to the forum I'm guessing the lads here are right, was a fire truck and was extended and made into bogie drive Paul
  12. Welcome to your new home Koda, you'll vanish in the snow Paul
  13. Speedy recovery to the Mrs Stir fry are okay, quick and clean food Paul
  14. I don't have a photo to prove it But was dropping my boy at Melbourne airport and Princess in her not so kindest voice exclaimed "would you look at that" So I did look and then got into trouble for looking Anyway the view was a lady with a dress on the was shorter around the waist than most mens shirts, bent over attaching the label's to her luggage I made a remark about the possibility of seeing bearded clam, than was informed by the Princess the clam was infact un bearded Wonders will never cease Paul
  15. Is that even possible ?? Paul
  16. Have you tried the ACMOC forum If still stuck, sing out and I'll make some enquiries I'm sort of more used to doing things by feel, butb will find out the actual measurements if you get stuck Paul
  17. Just pick one job Bob, start there I always pick the worst job first, that way everything is getting better from there Doors are looking good I can spend a lot of time with almost zero result on windows and window winding mechanisms Paul
  18. I could agree with you but that would mean that over 95% of the world's population is wrong I guess a lot depends on what we have been exposed to during our lives Paul
  19. Oh you Americans are so far backwards compared to the rest of the world when it comes to jerry cans I can't help but shake my head in disbelief at how a country as advanced as America can be so far backwards with jerry cans compared to the rest of the world Sorry I know I'm gunna piss most of you off, but it really is true The genuine style steel jerry can is so simple and so smart and the chances of spilling fuel so small when using the correct funnel The correct style of clip on spout, air breather standard and fuel rushes out in under a minute They come in 3 sizes, 20 litre is the most common size 1 gallon, 2 gallon (2.5 U.S. gallons) and 4 gallons (5 U.S. gallons) These jerry cans are the standard the world over, except north America Even when they are full of fuel you can float them in water, they are painted inside and out so they don't rust, they do eventually And as far as the modern plastic rubbish goes, well I'll just leave it as what it is I doubt they'll last 40 years or more and most have a crappy filler funnel thing Off to the naughty corner Paul
  20. Didn't have all day, but I did check it out I'm guessing the mid to late 60's with it's white wall tyres and chrome budd rims very impressive stuff And out on the highway, hardly another vehicle to be seen, unless it was a test track Shame the colour didn't survive in good order, but we are lucky to have just that bit of film survive Is there promo films for conventional cab Brockways ? Oh and I dunno if it was just the film or not but in Australia a COE is always called a "cabover" as the one word, even in the old brochures Funny how different countries use different ways of describing things YouTube may get a search today Paul
  21. From what I understand (not much at all) diesels start on full noise and governor pulls them back to control the revs So with this in mind I think the governor might be the issue and not the rack Paul
  22. Okay you jokers, you all need to have a look see This was a bloody good film, colour has all gone a bit,but still a good watch Is there any other Brockway films like this ? Paul
