Never mind Ken, you should be able to find a 2nd hand patrol....."any" patrol would be an improvement on what you've got now..hahaha

Cheers mate

Roachie

Yes, that sounds like a sure fix :)

Unbelievable

A simple cry for help instantly reaches the 'anti yota antennae' of the 3 Muska-idiots and they just can't help themselves.

I'm a bit gob smacked actually that your brother-in arms, the dux of the Terang College Of Anything and Everything hasn't joined you.

However, don't stress as I am going to take your advice and get me one of those 2001 3.0L GU's that are going real cheap.

I'm told I can get more S H I T, expensive gizzmo's that don't do anything in one of those 3.0L than Roachie has in his 4.2, and they have this great inbuilt physiotherapy plan where you have to strip the whole vehicle back to a bare chassis to get at the Headights so that you can put your El Cheapo 1c Blue meanie globes in. Then put it all back together again. Hell! your muscles, dexterity etc etc all get a work out for free.

And apparently they come with wheel nuts so tight, you have to get your best mate around at midnight to take them off for you, just so the neighbours and kids can't see you going red in the face and doing rude things in your pants because you can't get the Nissan approved anti theft wheel nuts off. Ooooooooooooh I love Nissan

Also the good old GU is a bonus here in Melbourne, has it all over the poor old Toyota when it comes to providing heat to keep you warm. You have convinced me Roachie that I really need one of these 'hot' GU mothers just like yours here in Melbourne.

Oh! nearly forgot, the Nissans are a very tough machine, especially when a little old tyre decides to shred itself, hell! you only lose the back quarter of your rig that costs an arm an small leg to fix, not to mention the stress on Mum and kids who think its their last breathing moment.

Yep! tomorrow morning first thing I'm off to the Local Nissan dealer to find me one of these GU 3.0L suckers so that I can ROtheFandLMAO and walk next door to the Yota dealer and find out how to fix my heater controller.

PS

the EX-OZ BBQ at Cardinia (VIC) today had a good turnout, great weather and very nice people.

Eric and Nick turned up so we were all entertained to their high standard as usual.

Woah! Chill out Lucy. They have Toyota envy.

G-whizz you are on the money.

However Roachie doesn't have yota envy, I have consulted my psychiatrist about Roachies penchant for one of every thing, especially those expensive ones that don't do much, like the 'water wetter', the red or green coolant fiasco, Shuu-Roo (the list just goes on) and the Psych said he definitely has an envy complex that can only be best described on this forum as part of the male personna starting with a 'p'. (little in his case.

Brew well the aliase and profile pic says it all ( and Dawn has him completey under her spell)

Truckie, well he gave up a perfectly good EX-OZ B-B-Q today to take his son bike riding, which I thought was excellent as it shows he really is one of those SNAG guys and as we all know NISSANS were designed for the SNAG market.

PMS?

It's past your bed time, now git off there pronto.

I can feel a drinks and fine dining night coming on(SNAG-ese for you), so when the anitbiotics finish (2-3 weeks I think) for this elbow thing I currently have, I'll drop a post about Capt A's where I'll tell you how I fixed Japans finest piece of 4WD technology ever - the Troopy.

Ok.... I'll bite.... who is he??? "the dux of the Terang College Of Anything and Everything hasn't joined you."

Oh.... and I was going to ask about the "conniption" but someone beat me to it, however dictionary.com didn't come up with anything on it at all!!!

And.... sorry, but I can't answer the original question, I didn't think anything on/in Toyota's break anyway????

I think the reference may be to the venerable Mr Bonz, Brian.

I was serious.

Yeah! Brew, and thats the scary bit.

Have you cleared this with Dawn. I mean, is she aware of what you get up to on the Net, or do you keep her in the 'dark' so to speak.

I have to stop right now otherwise I will be at it all night.

Catch you for a beer in a month or so. Need more Kms on that fine piece of American technolgy.

IT is a well known fact that anything and everything has its use by date. On a yota this date is approx 6 weeks before it hits our shores. On a troopie its about 8 milliseconds before it hits the ground after jumping a cattle grid on the Eldee road.

Ken, I would never be so trite as to suggest you replace the venerable with the undestroyable, rather it is more fun watching as you cram an ever increasing array of gadgets and gizmo's into something designed to take the lot.

Roachie may have one of everything, but a small p i doubt.

So Geoff, are you suggesting that Roachie doesn't have a 'p' at all, or just that it's not a small one. And how do you know so much about it?

HOW I know isnt the point Mr Bat, first name Wom.

What I do know is that someone with such a revered following in the banking trade cannot would not and does not have anything inferior in that capacity. I base this on his good wifes great judgement.

So . . . . what the luverly Mrs B is saying is that anyone senior in the banking industry is either
a) a really big 'P'
or
b) has a really big 'P'?

Well not Mrs B but Mrs R but same outcome.

Its not the heater so much as the airflow direction thingo.

You know ! the one that has a series of levers and cams to open and shut the internal vents so that you can get air in your mush when the dog
F A R T S , or on the wind screen when it fogs up.

Right now there tain't much of an air flow at all.

My camper had a simular problem but as i recall it had the selector fairly easy to reach so it could be changed without too much hassel but i just put it in one position and left it (aircon never worked but thats another story)

Thank you for the sane answer Davoe.

It must be something about me being born in S-Cross and living my earlier life in ML to the sth.

I think we speak the same language not like my ' 3 wise men' friend over here in the East.

That's as weak as cat's pyss...blaming the poor phryggin dog for the F A R Ts that YOU do......

And as for the direction and temperature of the airflow in your troopies cabin.....well what can I say.... it comes out where the sun don't shine and it's always hot as hell and has a green tinge about it....hahahaha

Can you get to it by removing the glove box

Jimbo

Missed your ugly puss at the EX-OZ BBQ at Cardinia today, especially seeing as how it was right in your backyard so to speak and you said you WERE coming. Very nice it was.

Now! I reckon you are going to have adopt the nick of FIG-JAM from now.

Why! because if you had been there when it happened and the subsequent hanging upside down under the dash in the drivers side whilst I was determining what had happened, you would have experienced the 'conniption' first hand.

What I really need is for someone to tell me what I asked in the first place , however I think its going to be a trip to Lanes first thing tomorrow and I might try a few 4WD wreckers (No! not Tructster or Crazie) and see if they have any ideas of a 'slick' fix.

Catch U at the next beer & burger/pizza night

More yank slang.

Ugly "puss"?

I'll happily accept being called ugly, because I am.

Seriously though, sorry I missed it today. I left a message with Adam. Jenny has not recovered well from surgery and we had her specialist out at his rooms this morning to attend to her.

She had been looking forward to the Picnic and I had to force her to stay in bed, as per Doctor's orders.

We'll definitely make the next night out.

Cheers,

Jim.

Conniption is actually taken from a Warner Brothers cartoon, featuring Daffy Duck as "Duck Dodgers in the 21st and a half Century" and Marvin the Martian.

It has been colloquially linked to the process of doing something that one considers unnerving and unprovoked, or unexpected.

It is most definitely not American as an Australian ex-patriot was working for WB at the time the phrase was coined, he went on to become famous for the Aeroplane jelly jingle amongst others.

Thanks for the reply and I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers Ken, Good Luck.
