Thats the truth, Lionel! All that rain then, dry as a buzzards crotch now.

I put my fire pump in for a service last Friday. Had been backburning behind the dam, with pump running, just in case I got nervous. Fat lot of bloody use it was though, because the wretched pump kept stopping less than a minute after each time I started it up. That is NOT what I want to happen in an emergency situation! Hearing Petes horror story goes to show, anytime, anywhere, when you least expect it, expect it!

I just was looking at a Blitz on an Aboriginal Community here in NT and got me thinking about doing up another, got on MLU and just found out my old project got burnt. I sold it to Pete as it was a Kiwi truck and he was ex military and a Kiwi himself so a perfect home.

I drove it from NSW to Alice Springs in 2010 to attend the Alice Springs Truck Show, 6000km at 60km/hr........

Glad no one got burnt to death, sad ending for the old girl.
