Nice choice of words. I had to look it up:

2. Psychiatry A pathological amnesiac condition during which one is apparently conscious of one's actions but has no recollection of them after returning to a normal state. This condition, usually resulting from severe mental stress, may persist for as long as several months.

That is an odd and interesting International. Thanks Robert.

OK Bob now we need a complete history including the madin name of the first driver's mother

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Robert - the only other manufacturing detail I have is the Carrier was made under contract no. MOV.1145. The first driver, an Army test driver, was Lance Corporal Ernest Entwhistle whilst his mother Dimitria, a Greek immigrant who married Throgmorton Entwhistle, had the maiden name of Giannopoulopouloppulus.

Following Keith's reply I found that the word 'fugue' I've heard of before means the same as your 'feuge', Bob. Just glad it wasn't a 'fug' you might have been in giving you problems.

The Reo owner has a Studebaker in another shed, I haven't photographed it yet, but he bought the Reo because he was told they are a rearer truck.

[motto (RIP)]

That is certainly true. There were never as many Reos around as there were Studebakers. If I had to take a wild guess I would say about 1 in 10, quite likely fewer than that even.

A friend in Melbourne tells me that there are a couple of Blitzs in Elgin Street, Carlton between Rathdowne and Drummond Streets.
I have an idea they may have been mentioned on the forum. Can somebody confirm please?
