Lucy's got a big lump!!!

Just got back from a 2 week holiday. The 2nd week was spent on Kangaroo Island and Member "Lucy" was there with bells on.

My goodness, is that a piece of chit or what??? LOLOL It has this large growth on it's bonnet that needs some serious attention. Many people have commented on here that my GU has a few modifications and additions. Bloody hell, it looks like it's just rolled off the showroom floor (accessory-wise) compared to "LUCY". She's got got twin overhead double cams on the aircompressors (3 off); Umpteen driving lights; 17 aerials poking up from the roof line and triple air lockers in each diff. The bell-housing is pressurised so as to prevent rust (or something). The 4 winches are all powered by 3 deep cycle batteries (each). There are 200 litres of water in a belly tank and the same amount of diesel. Under that massive bonnet there are 2 turbos (one is just a back-up.....not connected (that would be just plain silly, wouldn't it!!).

When he cranks it over with the crank handle through the bullbar, there is a massive plume of bluish/black smoke (and you all thought that KI had bushfires recently). One day, when he cranked it over, there was a fire-fighting chopper with 500 litres of water in a belly-bag......our camp nearly wore the lot cos the pilot thought it was a hot-spot from the nearby fires!!!!

Oh boy, what an experience I've had over the past week.....a VERY steep learning curve. Also, I found that the young bloke has a weak spot for honey ice-cream!!!!
