You picked on a smokey old cruiser! Hardly a fair competition.
I can remember telling one young hoon in a Torana that I'd give him a drag any time as long as I could pick the place.
Ok he says, where and when
Simpson Desert in 3 days time I replied :)))))))

Footie,

He picked a smokey old cruiser driven by a P plater, He probably forgot to mention that the cruiser was towing a fully loaded tandem trailer LOL

Cheers Darkie

Reminds me of a young bloke who I worked with when I was at Batemans Bay. He was bangin' on about how slow my Patrol 4.2 diesel was (he had an XR6 from memory)..... I challenged him to a "race" to Moruya and back. I said I would be fair......he could pick the route we'd take to get there, so long as I could pick the route we'd take to get back!!! hahaha He knew the area (and the idea I had of coming back along the power line track); so he declined the offer. hahaha

I agree with the other blokes though.....not a good idea to get into dragging off another vehicle , even in a smokey old diesel.... a little kid could come out of nowhere while you're concentrating on what the other bloke is doing etc.

Don't get me wrong; I was young once and did more than my share of illegal driving and motor bike riding....hell, I was just about on 1st name terms with some of the ACT coppers back in the mid 70's.

So, I know where you're coming from and 30 years ago some ol' fart (like I am now) would have been flappin' his jaws at me if the tables were turned, so don't take it to heart.....us old blokes feel that we have a responsibility to save young blokes from themselves. You'll probably feel the same way in 30 years time (if you live that long!!)

Cheers

Stefan you forgot to mention that the 70 on which you exacted your revenge was NOT a TDV8 like the one that smoked you off before.

Hardly a satisfying revenge.

Nah, you're still sitting at the lights counting your bank balance to see if you can buy a THROBBING GREAT VEE EIGHT MATE.

Have to smile at that Roachie, you're spot on.

Kid going 4wding with a friend proclaimed loudly
"I am SO gonna out-4WD you this weekend!"

Huh ???

Youth is wasted on the young *shakes his head* LOL

I see your point totaly Roachie.

The race consisted of two diesel slugs gunning it up to the speed limit, on a duel lane road with no houses for several Km's and fields on the side with perfect vision all round. I am going through the process of teaching my step son the fine art of "there is a time and a place" right now.

Cheers Stefan

Footie if you passed a Patrol I would get some professional help. That can really tear on the way out.

Bonz, at least it came out of the right orifice :))
The Anusol helps.

Roachie, the true tragedy is when you attain the OFD monniker. OFD=Old Fart Driver. I have recently noticed that when left to my own devices I look down and am sitting on 90kmh on the open road. Inwardly disgusted I SPEED up to 100 and set the cruise.

Oh My I admonish myself over a Horlicks, with my blanket over my knees watching Dad's Army on Austar. You are turning into your grandpa!

Bonz, we could, and probably should, start a whole new thread on the signs of growing old. Like farting at the dinner table and not caring.

Bonz (Vic) posted:

You aren't old enough GB, when you fart at the dinner table and you're old you're always worried about the follow thru!!! Muscles somehow don't like getting old hahahahahaha

Cut it out you's blokes....you's are makin' me eyes water somethin' cronic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-))

Since when has it been a sign of old age when you let one rip at the dinner table? If that's the case, then my 3 lads better get down to Centrelink tomorrow and sign up for the pension!!!! (of course, I am without fault....holier than thou....)

Good to see Forum decorum is at it's usual high standard LOL

Nah ! your old when you are at the dinner table, fart but don't know you did and can't even smell it to have your own inward chuckle.

When it comes to farting, I can;t get out of being blamed.
I recon that SWMBO has it mastered with ventrelocism.She can make it even sound that it's coming out of my ar$e. I just have to stand there looking guilty

Bonz (Vic) posted:

Des, you cant look anything OTHER than guilty!

Gramps, decorum is your middle name, NOT!

And Roachie, got to be something making your eyes water and I don't think its from laughing, maybe its the smell the DOG made hahahaha

Bonz (Vic) posted:

And Footie, the Anusol may help with the Patrol, but don't forget the CRUISER on the other end of the snatch-strap, you'll need a local anesthetic for that

A pix of the 200 series helps to ease the pain :))
