Keith, me ol' trout! A propos absolutely nothing to do with this thread, I am reminded of a framed document in my office.

It is from the Ballarat Times, wherein there was recorded a disturbance at the United States Hotel.

Seems like a bloke called Jon Skagfeld was arrested and taken into custody for being drunk & disorderly and disturbing the peace.

Mebbe I was tryin' to warn the populace about the bird eatin' spiders, wandering over from Bowen, eh? Sunray would love that!

Cheers...

Default Ballarat

And probably our border people still have the Skagfeld name on their 'look out for' list.
As for our deadly wildlife I think they scare Jif considerably!
I remember you telling me about this document when we first met... a lonnng time ago now.

Default Dingo wheels and tyres

Hi Rick,
I have a spare set of wheels and tyres that I MAY not have a use for in the future. When I purchased my Dingo, I got two sets. Not promising anything but they may be surplus in the future when the resto is completed?
to be sorted 042.jpg
Cheers
Darren

Hi Darren,
Sorry I didn't see your post until today. We are in Singapore at present, fly out tonight for UK and to Normandy. Meeting up with the Convoy and many others at Etreham.

Can I talk to you about your tyres after September? Please send me a PM>
Regards Rick.
