Aaah. The aussie version had a different motor! I had a couple of sedans the same as your picture (they had a poor swing half axle rear suspension) and a waggon which had much better rear suspension. It even had a way to convert it to a camper. I think none in Australia had two stroke motors.

But you don't even have a trumpf over there!

Need I remind you the title of this thread?

Sorry Spacey, the Lloyd Hartnett was a air cooled four stroke, with hemi combustion chambers and needle roller bearings. More like a modern motorcycle engine. It was an interesting car. I had a couple when I wore a younger man's clothes.

Quoting from Wiki: "also spelled Lilit, Lilitu, or Lilis, is a feminine figure in Mesopotamian and Jewish mythology, theorized to be the first wife of Adam[1] and a primordial she-demon. Lilith is cited as having been "banished"[2] from the Garden of Eden for not complying with and obeying Adam."

Lillith, like most ex wives, was portrayed as being an evil witch. And her story was erased. Adam wanted a more subservient girl, but look what he (and subsequently, we) ended up with! There was no story about Lillith tempting Adam into the 'original sin', was there? We are talking about REDICULOUS stuff, aren't we?

Yeah, the story goes that Eve was the temptress. To me that sounds like she was dogs revenge on Adam for whingeing about Lillian, his chosen mate.

Well that's better than waking up in the cemetary

Re: LED's and insects.... I fitted our camper with 'warm white' LED's which cast a reddish light. They don't seem to attract insects. And, I am typing this whilst waiting for my meal at an outside restaurant near Albany. The place is well lit with lots of big LED lights - non of which have the expected cloud of bugs. So it seems to me that when it comes to upsetting the sex lives of insects, LED's are not as bad as flourescent lights.

And what about putting tail lights on the rear of black cows? I always dreaded skittling a bunch of black bovines standing in the middle of the road at night.

Life was great ..... until I met my two good amigos... nicotine and alkay hol !

My favorite thing to do! Wilpena Pound only looks great from the air. We found some really inviting campsites but they will wait until our next foray.

I * Positively * love touring the bush (even though I'm getting a bit soft lately)

Celebrating POSITIVES...... Not gripes........ Last night it was a tad cool at our camp. Now, this is no gripe. I enjoy the fresh cool air and the great outdoors. In this case the best part about the fresh cool air is that it can be kept outdoors. Mostly. Well maybe not all that much when one is sleeping under canvas. Due to an unseasonable stratospheric sudden warming over antarctica, we had a couple of nights where the pleasure of fresh cool country air was dampened by the presence of antarctic air arriving at our campsite at Wilpena Pound. Early morning our slumber (a 3 doona night) was disturbed when internal condensation started dropping ice drips on us. Oh, the joys of the great outdoors! Tonight we sleep undisturbed in a warm central heated cabin. Just for a change.

To each, their own. For me, a little spice can turn bland into tasty. But too much just ruins the dish. I don't understand those who claim to like eating straight chillies - for me, a little bit is a taste enhancer.

You did it again Jerry. I'm playing nostalgic music, Sipping some Grant Burge, watching a casserole simmering in the camp oven on the fire. Fresh clean air after a light shower of rain. This time camped on a property near Silverton (Broken Hill). No light polution. Stars, and satellites in the inky black sky.

I understand your point Spacey. And you clearly had a bad bunch at your school. Such abuse is abhorrent. However, our society now calls moderate discipline the same as that which you experienced. So now, all firm discipline has been prohibited and many kids grow up without any concept of being held accountable for their actions.

Just goes to show how deep the deep state is! And Don T really is a part of it.

I think that one policy would make a big difference to the outcome of the election. If only the Dems announce a policy of overhauling government bureacracy, that would matter more than the pigment of any candidate.

Well, I recall sliding down the railing instead of politely using the stairs in high school. That got me four of the best - probably because the deputy headmaster was a short buggah. He blended into the crowd and got a surprise when I bowled him head over tit at the bottom of the stairs. I never thought it was child abuse. It was a badge of honour at the time and I haven't suffered long term psychological damage, as far as I can tell.

Well that can't be seen as being unfair to any of the three sides of politics.

Brought a tear to my eye. I swear it wasn't just 'red, red wine, go to my head...'

Thanx jerry Here i am sitting in front of a fire, camped near Lightning Ridge, watxhing the full moon rise, listening to your playlist in the desert silence. Life IS good

Arnotts ORIGINAL Tim Tams? They have got more hide than Jessie the elephant. It's a scam. There's no such thing as 'original' Tim Tams, not since that american mob bought the company. You don't really believe that you can get REAL buscuits from an american soup company? Oh darn. There I go again, tainting this nice positive thread with a gripe. OK, here's a positive. It was a great idea to make dark chilli chocolate Tim Tams.

A bit faster than a Foxbat.
