Lol, hope I'm that optimistic at 80 yo.
Lucky I'm so poor, I'd probably be a collector. Or maybe that's why I'm so poor, lol. Cheers

Default Another conversion

Hi Guys

Here is a Blitz conversion I came across on one of our field trips. Dumped in a paddock and left neglected after obviously many years of loyal service.

Cheers

Tony

What a machine...Makes me think of the Top Gear episode with the combine harvester modified to snow plow!

Personally I would like to see a "Year of Swords into Ploughshares" at Corowa in the future.
There are some terrific vehicles out there that are just as interesting in there present form as they were in their first incarnation. Strickland carriers come to mind, as does Howards ever so slightly modified cab 11. Recently saw a DUKW that had been converted to a potable grain silo along with a Humber One Ton also set up as a spray rig. (Got to say it was a little more presentable than that beauty at the top of the thread)
