Actually in fact I have! I stand corrected sir! But sadly we are going the same way.

You know sometimes I think it's these people who actually have it right. Maybe I can follow their example and start up a community which lives in the 1960's. That always felt about right to me.

This is overkill, you really only need to cover the head.

Mmmm, Ghetto defibrillator?

You're right, probably happened when the catapult on the mountain behind slipped prematurely, because it was supposed to fling over the match which (which struck on the rope on the way up) would light the dynamite on top of the rock, which would throw the anvil up in a perfectly calculated arc...

Yes I imagined the petrol ones would be water cooled.

The Garret units used on the Ford diesels are only oil and air cooled. The diesel Nissan pathfinder I used to own had a water cooled Garret unit which did more than 500,000 Km without any failure. That unit also had far less boost than modern units.

Exactly, consumer grade units rarely run up to 24 / 7 with full load. Commercial units often do. De-rating helps keep those engines running reliably for longer. I imagine Ford had mine trucks in mind whenthey released this model. This is a market Toyota has largely had to themselves for a...

Ford released the Ranger Super Duty in Australia. Rated to tow 4,500 Kg a full tonne over the standard Ranger 3,500. At the same time they de-rated the 180Kw 3.0 litre V6 diesel from 180 Kw in the normal Ranger to 154 Kw. All the stupid motoring journalists have been banging on about how...

Ha Harry Bottler was his take off of the real life Harry Butler, an Australian naturalist who had a TV show called "In the Wild" back in the early 1980's.

Besides Paul never killed anyone, although a few of his earlier (really funny) comedy shows would be considered career killing in this woke day and age!

Yes it was Paul Hogan but the setting in the photo reminded me of Wolf Creek and another, albeit fictional Australian killer.

Ha Ha, Twin Waters, that's only about 40 minutes drive from where we live. Carpet pythons ARE really common in this area, next door seems to have a resident one in his shed, and I've seen likely the same or another one out and about in the bush next to our house. They're good to have around...

True I did forget about John Jarrat. For those who don't get it look up the movie Wolf Creek. When not busy killing tourists, John often works as a Children's show presenter.

You can never be too careful, sticks can be tricky or is that sticky.

There are a few things missing, you need to add the crocodile, sea wasp, cone shell, blue ringed octopus, redback and funnel web spiders, and cassowary to round out the picture properly.

And you guys pick on us for having a country full of things that want to kill you. You have killer COWS! :LOL:

Wow that brings back fond memories, this was my 1981 Bronco in the Simpson desert back in 1990

Wow so green and fresh looking. That's one thing that struck me so much in our recent Canadian / Alaska trip. Everything so wet and green, so much water. However we returned home to find that we have had weeks of unseasonable winter rain here and everything is green and growing. Normally...

With a name like that it must have struck terror into the hearts of any German warship crew.
