Nice # 13 Cab...and at least one good-looking tyre!

But a fairly well used (read completely rooted) chassis. At least it still has a winch.

You can bugger up a Ford chassis just as easily unfortunately like this F15A retrofitted with winch.

Does that mean a tree's grown up through it or such?

Something like that, Tony. It was really for Jif's benefit as he's so into the Aussie vernaclar these days.

Jif, I think you'll find in the modern 'Strine the word has changed to 'Bastard' not the archaic 'Bugger' in the sense of describing a person or persons. One possible reason why 'Bugger' is falling into disuse is it has begun to be used in TV commercials and therefore loses it's sting somewhat. It is however used in the sense of something being damaged, destroyed or simply worn out, and there are also synonyms like 'Rooted' and the ultimate 'F&%@ed', where the former are used in polite company and the latter used for instance between blokes describing a CMP found in the corner of an old sawmill.

Then there are comments like "Strewth", "Strike me roan" and "Bonza!" when a previously unknown Blitz is found within a 10km radius of Yass.
