just to add to the insult me and bluesteel were in the maccas drive thru less then 1 hour ago and the brumby gace up the ghost and stopped so i jumped put and pushed her thru the drivethru and around into the carpark...we think either idle air control valve pipe was pinched or the afm maybe?? dunno but 30 min later she started weird...lol all tassies i love it fatz

1 broken brumby 2 going libs

Well I have 3 and a half One my wagon more or less in the process of making it to the graveyard a lib wagon which needs the roof lining to be finnished and then be sold a brumby daily driver that shouldn't be running (It needs tappets done and the electronic dizzy put back in long story) plus a baja bug and I won't even mention my two holdens!

None in shed but:

1) L sedan parts car
2) very sore Ruby Scoo after WA trip - needs exhaust fixed, new radiator and front left wheel repaired (slow leak). Could do with a wash too... and being un-packed

to say it drove over her and most of the way back i think it did a very good job im proud of ur L

I have only 1. 1991 Lib wagon, had interior fire and rear paintwork burnt so is destined for ute conversion. Has lift and Forester struts fitted and the EJ20t and auto are about to go in. Was offered an L series with blown head gasket yesterday, the comment being "better it goes to a good home rather than the wreckers"

pretty much 2

got the B4, still needs work, gotta weld on front end... you know, nothing major:) unregistered

orange one... will be unregistered in about a week and needing a few cosmetic/mechanical repairs to get her back on the road

lol ha ha minus 1 less ex wifes l series tourer me sir will and bluesteel took it back tpo her house last night so only 4 nope i put a tyre back opn mine and the floor is being welded in the next week or 2....did i mention me and a tree had a bit of a tangle lst night too...long story

No you didn't Subelover, when you can be bothered, I'd like to read it

All depends on what day it is really, however atm I have the following
1 L sedan (being converted to an RX.
1 RX being striped down
and occasionally a busted red wagon.

well last night i put the wheel back on my wagon and i have about 10 acres to drive around on so we have a set up a sorta little hill climb/motorkana... grass a few rocks and trees etc but i was trying to get passed a fallen tree and the angle of the hill plus the leaves and grass made me slip down onto a fallen tree so i got stuck on the passenger side..

Sir Will got out of the car we had a look and the best option was to get the scrumby (bluesteel) and use a snatch and pull the front around so i could get off the log (which i was well and truely stuck on now) in theory it worked but in practice the brumby was nearly too light but in the end a snapped rope later the brumby got me off enough so i full lock left hand down and just dumped the clutch and drove off this tree all good had a look at the damage and 1 kinda badly dented sill panel and door later....

but it gives me a challenge to get thru next time.. Ben

1 broken down 89 Leone but he will be back!
