This is how the most pathetic disaster of the great Warraweena 07 National Gathering has ended.
Yes trendsetters, the vehicle that usualy sits in front of this Kimberly Karavan is currently a useless wreck in the
Port Augusta Nissan dealership.
Apparently Nissan have been unable to source the required part/s or anything like goodwill or warranty re this vehicle. Sad state of affairs actually.
The Owner has been reduced to to driving hired vehicles, X-tral first day, 100 series next few days, Vesper scootas until SWMBO jacked up, and was last seen by the writer in a Mitsuibishi Triton ute.
Yes! a pajero brother driver.
Then the owner of this truly Missan Nissan hands me a copy of the latest 4x4 opened at a writeup of the 76 series and whispers, I am going to get one of these when we get out of this place, and in the mean time could you please do me a favour and hook Kim (Ooops shouldn't have said that)our KK onto your magnificent troopy rig and tow it down to the Triton hire place for me.
So, being the great guy that I am, I did.
PS
He and his SWMBO were last known to be in
Cowell eating oysters, however he reports they are duds, as they didn't work.
And the Nissin is still a Missin.

Al,
I think team Nissan must be in the small arms business, they seem to knock out a heap ammunition!

Typical Toyota driver....you forgot to lift the jockey wheel on that KK.....or was that left down on purpose so the droopy didn't sag too much under the pressure hahahahaha. 2 weeks on the Googs has done nothing to your sense of humuor has it???? LOL!!

Trevor, it is a wonder he didn't try to claim the fifth wheeler 30 metres behind as
well. Note in the other post he is now trying to hide his efforts with the two gals on
Googs Track.

I reckon that was a top pic with plenty of pixels in it for Member Blaze to do whatever he does with them.
That camera was working O/Time especially when I knew you were on your way back.
It was a day of close calls for a number of things. ROFLMAO
Must admit SWMBO was getting fidgety and had to be threatened with being left in the bush like Roachie did to Annette.
I always wondered how he managed to get her to be so compliant to his whims.

I recon a little bit of playing and I could get a fifth wheeler on the back of your Droopy. I need to learn a bit more on Photoshop. Hey, I bit you didn't know that you were better known in the
York Peninsula than just seeing Roachie, just llok at your infamy.

Roachie I unfortunately showed the semi puter literate Ms Lucy how to post pictures. He learned enough to get the NAB heist posted and the doctored photo above too.

Will you two old wind bags get on with the No 1 priority in your lives :
Moses: Find that Missin Nissin of yours
Roachie: Completing Module 1.0.1 in your life long degree on how not to Muck Up on everything you touch and/or attempt.
and forget about Oh! WHAT A FEELING - TOYOTA me.
PS
My SWMBO was only just saying this morning, "I bet Mr Moses is kicking himself big time for having shown you how to put the picture in the post"
I Said: "maybe, however the whole
forum is more than chuffed that he did"

Droopy drivers can act, not drive. We actually enjoyed lunch with Lucy and his good SWMBO in the cafe of the Arid Botanical Gardens. Hhe only had his trailer in tow, not the rest of any train, except of course after a Pale Ale he had a better imagination.

Gobster'
You learn something new every day when around us Toyota owners and if you keep an eye on proceedings here and future posts your knowledge base on Nissans will be expanded.
While I am at it, may I enquire as to why you two were not at
Warraweena, especially seeing as how Trevor(R) made it and lost the Queensland flag in the process.

I had a Missin Nissan once but nothing to do with this story so don't read on unless you want to. I didn't name it, my mates did. A 1964 dropside and I was told that the engine was a direct copy of a 1930-something Chev truck engine. Only 3 gears but went anywhere. The engine was slanted to the back. For some reason as you drove into the bush and went off highway speeds the plugs would oil up starting from the front (high end). Five cylinders was OK but 4 was too few so I would stop and pick a couple of plugs from a collection in the glovebox and replace them. After a while I would have to do it again. Eventually I would run out of clean plugs and would be wire brushing with petrol in the middle of the track. Once in the middle of a
creek, near Hopevale.
As soon as I was back on the highway the cylinders would pick up one by one.
Eventually I swapped short motors with a wrecker for a 1972 engine (this was around 1975) and bugger me if the new engine wasn't the same as the old one.
Must've been something to do with the sloping engine, the top cylinders were starved of oil and wore out.
I was reduced to running half oil, half STP additive thick as treacle and changing oil every 500
miles until I traded it. Lucky oil was relatively cheap then.
I traded on a Landrover as they gave me double any one else's offer so I ended up with my third Rover. Of course the oil was freshly changed when I went for trade-in.
I'll post pix of my old mates when I get around to taking them to a scanner.
Cheers

You dill,
you were driving one of the first Valiants with a "slant six" motor.
No wonder you had the aforementioned troubles. (LOL)
