Is IT Just me that brings the Rain

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Yes definitely set in here for the day to! Went for walk and it will be very interesting watching some of the rigs that will be trying to leave tomorrow. Reminds me of Terry and c/o leaving Tagaity (sorry don't know the spelling)but some serious towing being achieved. ;) ;)

Ah yes, the OKA being towed by an OKA to tow Peter's 5er out of the paddock, quite a laugh seeing Peter Wright in the "go anywhere" OKA stuck in the gate way :lol:

Especially when I was able to drive our 11.5M Bedford bus out of the paddock without so much as a wheel spin. :)

Well, there was a bit of wheel spin but you did get it out unassisted. That Iveco of Peter's doesn't have a lot of traction, I can't remember if he had similar problems with the Ford Ranger a few yrs before. We might have to add some electric drive to the trailer wheels now it's lithium powered :lol:

Ahh!!! isn't it great when you are forced or choose to sit the day out and read as opposed to working etc. I yes could have gone on a river cruise (but now I only need to look out my window 1" or more river :lol: ).
So old internet gets a hiding, and what have I found that I think will help Terry; :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:
Solar Impulse 2 in T1 case No3. Yep Terry we/I have found a new transport mode that you could just lithium all over :P :P :P :P

17 steps, the next record is around the world non stop, once that is achieved all the barriers have been broken. At the moment the military have unmanned drones that can do this but no manned flights non stop around the world. Tonight at the Adelaide electric vehicle meeting there will be a talk by the bloke that drove his Tesla around the block and then across Australia top to bottom and side to side to prove that range anxiety is a thing of the past, pity I have the kids visiting so I'll miss it so hopefully one of the members video records it.

Mate (and I say that with due respect) that you should have. If it was not for you and like minded people many of us would not be enjoying the life style that is now being provided.
