Alby Mangles Adventure Bound!!!

Yes! I had forgotten about him.. Imagine a week away with him, what a disaster ;)) Michael

....and Troy Dann.

Gday Axle, Funny how things change, I remember some of the "get out of trouble" ideas that Jack had, but most are not relevant these days but were fantastic then. He had a spark plug tyre pump, great idea then and I always carried one in the early days in the back of my car in the 70's. That was ok with petrol engines but now its hard to find the spark plugs amongst the bits and pieces and plastic covers on modern petrol engines. Another thing i always followed was to double the pressure in your spare and have a transfer hose with schrader ends on it to transfer air to a slow leaking tyre. I did this from the 70's until i bought a 4x4 in 1999. Came in handy many times in all those years when you come out in the morning to find a flat tyre that had gone down overnight. Now with a compressor times have changed. I also remember the old stockings for a fan belt replacement, not sure how long that would last in a modern car with the load of a 100 amp alternator. Also with a flat battery was to jack up the back wheel( both with LSD) and place car in a high gear and spin the wheel by hand or use a rope on the tyre like starting an old mower!! There were plenty more and he was good entertainment in those days!!! Michael

I can tell you that sigma fell off the Jack about 3 times when he was hand starting it & once in came close to driving off,
You ate well if you traved with jack & other than he's brother there was never a better camp cook

Yes !! I remember something about that along with others regarding his dog but they are still pretty good all this time on.. Michael

Actually it was Judy Green ,equally as pleasing to the eye. I have watch this the last 3 saturday at 5.00 pm on 1hd, i remember why as a young bloke that i liked it,woman in swimmers,wet t shirts,sailing,4wds.

Hi Mr Pointyhead,

my wife and I were at the premiere of Alby's film. Narelle was responsible for looking after Judy Green on the night.
We just learnt why Judy was upset on the night after watching the film.
She said it was from the accident but we now we think it was more.

It was a good night and a great adventure film.
Our friend, Aaron, was an Islander from Mabiaug Island. When he saw his relatives getting chased by Alby's dog off the yacht, he jumped up and yelled, all excited and named them as they jumped.
