Nothing unusual about this scene , an old Blitz is parked in a suburban house block in an Australian capital city .

Owner decides to start her up for a test run .

We seem to be having a little difficulty keeping the engine oil in a liquid state .

That old Blitz, she's a heavier smoker than I am

If that's a Chevy (probably not) the old DIP would be a ways past its prime. If it's an overheated Ford it might not be that unusual though. He just needs to operate it in a windier climate.

It's a Chev by the shape of the front shell...

Or I could go to see Max and film one of his cab 12 Fords fired up!

This is one task where the Chev definitely beats the Ford

Hi all
This was a Chevrolet invention, namely a Smoke Screen Generator and was primarily designed for the following purposes;

* to hide the truck on a battlefield (unfortunately all the enemy had to do was aim at the smoke)
* to hide the identity of a person who actually owned a Chevrolet
* to use at a disco

I believe there were other reasons as well but they escape me for the moment, but I am sure others will remember them.

bob, if it was a ford it wouldent move at all, unless it was being pulled by a chevy or morris.

and by the way when the last new ford pick up is driven to the junk yard sometine in the future the driver will probably be given a ride home in a chevy blitz

So it was a Chev which caused us to choke on our holiday!

Funny thing about that map - looks a little East of Perth.
