With an essential addition:

Tony Smith · #2 18-09-06, 13:52

Do the Yass Boy's fit Altimeters too?

Max Hedges · #3 18-09-06, 14:58

That's only a Chev, wait till you see what a Ford can do!

G-Meter is appropriate for the second picture

If I memory serves me the Meter in the middle with the three needles is a G-Meter. Did some playing around with one mounted in BEAUTY before the and after putting the back body on and with out the box the G-impact of severe bumps were in the painful if not spine damaging level but dropped into the minor discomfort level once the 1.5 tons of radio box and body was added.

Dont really believe that this is fully up to spec yet, needs one more toggle and a jack.Requires

- Human Interface Jack
- Switch Brain on Toggle

With these in place water temp, oil preasure, air speed and braking can also be controlled by the operator. Past experaibce has shown problems with control of these functions at the Yass field.

Thats not very nice!!!

Rusty · #7 21-09-06, 11:23

Yes I should be more specific about the Yass Field, some vehicles like yours that are in static display wouled not require these modifications.

At least while static they are not in danger of braking crankshafts. I noticed the "CRANK ALERT" light on your dash recently.

Max, it should be obvious to all that even though he is well past V1 why he isn't airborne yet....his flaps are in the wrong position!

CHIMO!

For those of you who have seen the year of the Blitz the young man driving has a thing for rivers and dams. This blitz never will fly but Aren has perfected the bounce entry to a dam. By running through a sharp ditch at speed Aren is able to keep the air intake and ignition clear of the water for longer. This method has allowed for near perfect vehicle drownings way beyond the lenght of a standard snatch strap for recovery.

I'm back now to see what you mob have been up to.
The computer took a turn for the worst and had to be seen to.

You'll have to stop feeding it maple syrup.

You didn't set fire to it, too, did you?

Keith Webb · #16 02-10-06, 10:46

Whatever computers there were in the Tojo were toast.

Max Hedges · #17 02-10-06, 11:18

It's the blokes fault that supplies the power that drives this computer thingy, nothing to do with the driver this time again. The sump plug was connected properly, I hadn't fed it maple syrup for ages, but I did drop a tim tam on the keyboard sometime recently and I have often felt like burning the damm thing, anyone would think that all you blokes thought that I was as thick as a brick but I had honestly gone through all the safety prodedures first that day before I started underway, and then suddenly woops it was gone.

Max a few weeks back when I camped out the back shed on my way to Temora I noticed that every time the cool room kicks in the Lights in Yass flicker for a second. This may be causing the power surges.

Poor Max
Your computer had a nervous breakdown after receiving all those horrible messages from those nasty people who call themselves friends of yours. Us caring, sensitive folk always seem to be easy targets but we must forgive them their shortcomings and that way their aspirations to become as good as us may be fulfilled.

Hey Bob have taken up selling Religious icons? what happened to you better buy it now because with interest like this there will be no hats left by lunch time!

Max Hedges · #21 03-10-06, 02:25

that's right bob you and I are leading expamles of descent people
I look into the mirror and say to myself gee I'm a descent fellow.

What do you see when you look in the mirror bob?

Max

Rusty · #22 05-10-06, 14:56

Max sure is a good guy, not much gets under his skin, he is always generous with Blitz parts and biscuits. Morning tea happens every time somone enters the drive way.
But Max thats an Elvis poster not a mirror on the back of the bathroom door.

Hello Max
When I look in the miror I see a reflection of you reminding me to what I should aspire to. My other role model is the character Onslo in the British comedy show "Keeping Up Appearances".

Rusty - religious hats - interesting concept - or maybe a halo surrounding a FORD Blitz.
