Anyone else done a "Lucy"?

Salesman Leaving,,

Funny you speak of a salesman leaving,
Geoff the day I took delivery of my Patrol the salesman I brought from was not avail ,I was told he no longer worked there aftre giving me a good deal on a TDI Discovery which was a beauty an getting the sale,As I was on my way to Sydney he rang me an said come back you got a deal.
So I went back gave them the sale (((NOW SORRY)) but all is well now ..BUT I have always wondewred what happened to that man who gave me the best deal i saved money & they made money.ALL must have been happy.((GREED)))

GONE and Forgotton ,.

Geoff, the E on the fuel gauge actually stands for ENOUGH !
Cheers, Tony.

hahahah mine stands for Excitement

Footy,
The NRMA and Landrover have a deal on that subject, it's designed to make both of them look good!!

Geoff.

Geoff, I'm talking NRMA before they became a part of the popular co orporate culture :)))

That'd nearly be one of Lenny Beadell's Landrovers wouldn't it?

Geoff.

Sad to say, no. He used series1 L/r's. Mine was a 1965 model. Tough as, rough as. Great except for needing a downhill tail wind to achieve 100k/h. No such thing as fuel economy, just keep filling her up at every chance. (holden motor replaced the original) . And comfort ? It was very comfortable if you were used to riding camels...maybe LOL
I loved my Landie. But it was just unsuited for what I wanted to do; travel instead of playing weekend warrier.

Jim,
I know what you mean.
My first exposure to 4wd's was a 1956 Series 1 SWB.
It was born in the day when men where men and seats weren't invented.
All the lack of power you needed along with the missing economy to match!

Those where the days,

Geoff.

Geoff, or the days when men were men and women were glad of it ! LOL

You know, you're right.
And if you could get a straight answer out of most women they'd agree.

Geoff.

In my case E stood for embarrassed, Lucy's too I has at a guess

Ray, from what Lucy told me a couple of days ago (he rang me to ask my opinion about which motor he should get when he orders his Patrol..........but shhhhh, he doesn't want anybody to know what he's up to), you are spot on . It IS amazing that no blood was spilt. Lucy reckons Bonz should be handcuffed if he is to be allowed anywhere closer than about 300 meters of ANY tool at all........ and he should be placed into a straight jacket if he's gunna be anywhere near a POWER TOOL. This is for HIS OWN safety as well as that of anybody in the same town at that particular time of day.......... he is an absolute shocker!!!!

But, of course, all this info has come from one (yes, only one) unsubstantiated source...........The perveyor of all things "tojo".........The incarnate God of 4 wheel drives....... The one; the only; LUCY!!!!!!!!!! hahahahaha

>(he rang me to ask my opinion about which motor he should get when he orders his Patrol

wwhhhaattt are you serious....hahahaha

I'll never forget the smoke coming from Geoff's boots when he relaxed his tired legs too close to the fire one night down the border track. I still chuckle about that one Geoff.

"the smoke coming from Geoff's boots when he relaxed his tired legs too close to the fire one night"

Hang on, I've done that!!
Which fire did you sneak up on??

Geoff.

OMG ,buldging eyeballs, another one :)

I'm more worried about you and Roachie sneaking around the back of my fires than my boots smoking!!

Geoff.

Don't worry Geoff if we go sneaking up on fires it would be rather late in the evening after a few beers. I'm sure you'll hear the chatter and giggling...Roachie chatting, me giggling.

Ray, that trip was one of THE best, didnt realise it at the time but the memories are priceless, and those boots are on my feet right now.

The Lucy is a ball of info isnt he? All I did was put his brand spanking new mash hammer down on the sand in Stephens Creek for a sec and he's bleating about it, yer so we had to go back the next day and retrieve it but hey, whats the problem with that? hahahahah

I now have more tools in my shed than I cn could and NO skin off at all, none, na-da, zilch, zippo hahahahaha

LUCY in a PATROL, it'd only be mine when he was looking for his mash hammer

Yes Geoff it's important to get out with our familes and friends and do stuff. It was an honour to lead yourself and the kids down the track not forgetting Wazza of course.

Lucy is a barrel of laughs but like any barrel kicked down a hill it will come to a sudden halt when it hits something.

Keep smiling.

Obviously immersed deep within that distraction he calls work

Nothing worse when the object refuses to take the bait!

Kind regards

Would you call it smart fish?

My mate always says, "such big fish with such little bait"

Geoff.

Be clear, the object was my dopey self not filling the car, the objecxt in question aka Lucy will make representations I am sure

Very diplomatic of you Bonz! But I suspect that you are just dangling your bleeding leg over the transom to catch a shark. Given the takers on that leg already there may be nothing left for Lucy to munch on.

Kind regards

hahahaha He could munch for hours on a memory, a rumour or a sniff of a story, and will rofl I dont think time will dull his response.

Expect to see such terms as Nissan Mafioso, Pinko Mafioso Nissan Driver and phrases such as "Havent you left the country yet?" or "When can we see the end of this"

DiploBonz

Right here you pack of 'dills'

Been occupied with that 'work' thing and only just had a look at the diatribe you lot have been heaping on me.

The true facts about the alledged situation happening on the way to the OBC are as follows:

I always wondered what the E really, truly meant on the bottom of the fuel guage re the Aux fuel tank.

Soooooooo! somewhere after Sealake the needle touchs the E and I think "Yeah, I'll switch the sucker over when I get to Ouyen"

I am right into R & D mode on this one.

The kilometers click over and I'm keeping an idle eye on the Needle and the E and sure enough it sits itself right over the E and does not move.

Yep! Ouyen is coming up and I'll switch that mother when I get there.

Next thing this dude in a white tray top something or other pulls out of a paddock in front of me with his hat jammed on his head (You know what I mean), as we are going up a long hill.

B a s t a r d, didn't he see me - had to change down as the EGT starts to rise a bit and I want some 'sting' to pass him.

Which I do with the right foot stuck up the turbo.

Over the hill and cruising down the other side when there is the dreaded jerking sensation coming from under the bonnet. (Chit! what is happening)

Aw! Chit, Chit the fuel - quick hit the swithch.

MISSED it by that much.

Had to stop lift the bonnet, three quick pumps on the primer and away the bitch went.

By this time farmer HAT had driven past without a care in the world.

So, in view of the above, it is clear that I was on an R & D mission, not poncing around my front lawn showing off to the neighbours like some one on this forum.

Oooh! I miss you Pink Mafioso's.

Bonz said....."Expect to see such terms as Nissan Mafioso, Pinko Mafioso Nissan Driver and phrases such as "Havent you left the country yet?" or "When can we see the end of this"

I do believe the Mafioso was mentioned hahahaha

and Work Lucy, dont you be worrying about that get the ATECO organised hehehehe cya soon old mate.
