Oh struth, were spinning off into the ditch now Dunno, I think she swears a bit much for me, I'm kinda old fashioned and pretty boring, don't like tatts on a girl or a girl with a potty mouth Bush Barbie loves talking politics Paul

Your moving right along there, keep up the good work and sharing the updates Paul

I wonder were these built for the plough truck market Now with my vast experience (a few days in the snow) one thing I noticed was diesels can be a pain in the bum to start when really cold, and I haven't seen really cold yet Were as petrol (gas) are good starters and talking to a couple of people that do a lot of ploughing the automatic transmission appears to be pretty handy One fella was slightly less than impressed with the new Dodge Ram as there is no column change for the transmission but a dial on the dash So dumb ass me is thinking that easy starting in really cold temps and a auto are kinda more important than running at 70 MPH for a plough truck To quote Swishman "What sez you ?" Paul

Oh and happy Australia day today 26th January, so tomorrow for you lot Paul

Well lads, in this wide brown land we have Kane Bunn, blokes everywhere pay attention when she comes on to do the weather Meal times at the nursing homes go quiet and the old blokes druel lol Jane has been doing the weather and blokes heart beats a lotta good for a lotta years A bloke I worked with was the president of her fan club lol Paul

Well it's a tad warm here, shifted sheep yards to different farm for crutching sheep and steel ling lambs next week Gunna be pretty warm next week Paul

Yeah Swishman, you've been a bit vague of late Welcome back to the light Paul

A lot of this stuff is more urban myth than fact I would imagine like many things, companies shared technology when it suited and was beneficial to the companies involved Like Mack and Scania, International Harvester and Chrysler/Dodge in Australia, Ford and Nissan, then Ford and Mazda The list goes on Paul

Yes, you can always put more clothes on when it gets cold But when it gets really hot if I keep taking clothes off Illjust get arrested 🫠 Paul

I feel your pain with your weather Paul

This style tend to come undone Or at least thats what I have found anyway Paul

What project is this ? Paul

Dunno about your weather, but we are on the kero kite getting out of Dodge as they say in the westerns

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

Helping Tim Maikshilo and his family from the forum shift back to NewZealand We fly out tonight Paul

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

Catching the big kero kite home today This is a very different part of the world

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

Well no matter what you blokes say, it was cold for me today, the wind chill sorted me out Paul

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

Good job

I would imagine the bent window, then the latches, followed by the glass etc Paul

Yep

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

Welcome to your new home Koda, you'll vanish in the snow Paul
