What a great build. Terrific images. Very well done, and no short cuts buy these chaps. Looking forward to seeing the end result. We use these thermo decals during product testing as well. They are extremely accurate and we put them on anything from drivetrain, to windows and air...

Sean, Bryce is correct, without the mass the wheels/ tyres would just lock up with a good braking system, and just destroy the tyres, regardless of how good their grip. One of our heavy trucks can have a mass of over 200 tonnes loaded. However they can have 36 sets of brakes with exceptionally...

Sean, Would you drive this? :D

Gents, After arriving at the Hertz desk at Tullamarine early Monday morning, I expected the usual run of the mill cars. My status allows me 2 levels of upgrade, and at Tullamarine they have a small roped off area where I can pick any car that takes my fancy. I’ve had a couple of Audi, and...

Styria, My brand new X Trail is the same. Shockingly bad turning circle for not a very big car. Our Volvo B Double rated prime mover has a better turning circle than both our cars. I have had the pleasure of being driven by Brian in the PV. Yes, many turns lock to lock, and steers like an...

There is a great coffee van at Preston’s, it looks like an Airstream, but locally built. GREAT coffee, and always a funny character with a hat and dark glasses on and sitting in one of the out of the way seats?

Hmmmmmmmm?? Could I have stumbled across M.O.T.S? Or the meaning of?

Here is an oldie. Here is a replacement for Brian’s ML

Styria, As we were discussing shoes, Santa delivered my first pair of “Comfortech” Florsheim’s. I have always had leather soles on my Florsheims, but as my feet age, so have my comfort needs. I do a hell of a lot of walking at work, so thought I’d give these a go. First day back at work, and...

Nice colour combo here Styria. Not a bad price either. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1237652989?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=ios_VIP&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

I contacted the owner of the green SEL and he was kind enough to send me more images.

A few nice 450’s. The blue car is an eye watering asking price. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1235683094?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=ios_VIP&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms...

Styria, The Cascada is a terrific car, very well built, and as far as I can see, no real issues at all. Great looking convertible as well.

Our Australian spec trucks run dual elements in a single housing like this. Sometimes in remote areas where it is extremely dusty, (especially our super fine red bull dust) they will run 2 of these in series. Modern truck turbos are under so much pressure the slightest trace of dust can be...

What a shame. This car seemed to be really nice, great interior low k. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1233447306?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=ios_VIPGallery&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

Spotted this gem today near my place at Cecil Hills. As usual, with a car close to me, anyone interested I am happy to check it out. Seems very clean, zero rust, and just a couple of scrapes on each front guard as per the pics.

Michel, I’ve made the error of saying “North America” instead of “USA” North America USA It’s the USA, that has roughly the same land mass as we do. And you are absolutely spot on. My point was simply, a very big place with bugger all people as it is so dry :D

Gents, I photographed this today at our dealer in Tamworth. The sole job of this truck is to simply remove and replace wheels for the big Caterpillar or Komatsu mine trucks. It can also carry one wheel. However not on a public road as the wheels are to big. Another truck will bring...

Great question Bryce. These roadtrain guys in the outback only carry spare steer tyres as if a steer tyre blows, truck is grounded. But if a rear tyre bows, the other tyre will take the load. Saying that, if something bad does happen, some remote locations are over 6 hours wait for tyre...

Gents, I am currently conducting training with new staff at our Tamworth dealership. Tamworth is in its 3rd year of drought, and is very serious indeed. So many farmers are selling up, and I heard last night at dinner that some farmers are paying up to $1800 a day for water & feed for their...
