That's a simple question.. I put the country and its people first

Forget that failed airframe. Get the real deal, a Piaggio Avanti. Jet speed and turboprop cost.

Also the pcv which controls the pressure waves in the crankcase, they need to be checked and cleaned regularly and replaced asap if faulty. When blocked the oil is quickly contaminated and the head is first to fail.

Just like your pcv, the EGR is essential not just for emissions but proper air and oil flow in the motor. Their blockage is a major source of sludged motors. Once the sludge builds up all the tiny oilways for cams and variable timing get blocked and a dead motor is soon on the cards.

Just think who would Gina or Donald vote for? Now vote the opposite

Are you old blokes saying your Kidneys are no good? So much for helping a young bloke out. Bloody hard finding a set that hasn't been abused these days. Come on fellas someone doesn't need them do they? Will get you drunk afterwards, all the ice baths you need for life.

Politics like is a participation sport. If you don't get involved you loose.

And that's why the Trump plan is too destroy education and only have friendly scared media. Unless we know the facts and the life the kid has endured it's just sensational media scare mongering. Many if not all Sudanese are refugees or their parents from a horrific war and are traumatized from their experience, as a population they have a form of PTSD. They are courageous people who have overcome extreme circumstances that deserve quality services to help. Education and mental health help that's sensitive to this reality are sorely lacking. It sure makes it harder when media beat ups just blame a ethnic group.

They seem to grow faster the older we get. If he really wants to fly, get him in the Air league if ones nearby. That can get him training and simulator /airtime in the RAAF way, its a headstart when the number of possible applicants finish school and apply. In the league, current grades don't matter, it's what he does going forward. He will have the ability to get massively subsidised flight time in training aircraft with ground school free. And trained the way the RAAF wants. It's also a great motivator to improve his grades as he now sees a clear application to his education.

Jerry, I think you mean it was built on a Wednesday if it was real good. Normally Monday was getting back in the swing of building after the heavy weekend drinking. Friday cars tended to be slap dash as everyone was tired and wanted out as fast as possible. Also much more likely to have run out of stock of good parts and the rejects or old parts got used. I agree the HR looked better than the HD. The later HT looked very bland. The EH premier I liked, but not the clapped out one my brother had. I did like the HZ GTS? Wagon V8 my cousin had, loved the electric window tailgate. My grandmother had a EK from new and only 35k miles in 2003 when she died, only driven to Hay bowls, shops and Maude Weir. Grandad had a GPack Torana in green with stripes. Dad had various Kingswood. I have probably driven every model Holden made locally except at FX. I remember out on the Hay plains, flat chat in a HT ute going to Maude Weir. As a kid 130 was fast, esp with the Roos nearby. Then it was fun fishing for carp with explosives. Not the sort of thing done these days. But even as a young kid, I knew the world was full of more fun and speed. My oldest brothers highly modded Cooper S 1380 Mini was the antidote needed. The David Vizard book on Mini engine building and racing mods was my Bible at 8 years old. Then I got a ride in a Alfa Romeo which completely cured me of the family Holden disease. I am the only one in my big family to have never owned a Holden.

Onetrack, That makes sense, I expect they were in constant use, which helps keep them reliable.

Stroke care has definitely improved in recent decades. We are much quicker to recognise symptoms and get treatment. Modern care includes placing the body on cooled blood in a temp controlled environment to greatly reduced the damage as they give drugs to remove the clots. Many have recovered from previously deadly or greatly incapacitating strokes. I have had two major clots that should have been fatal but weirdly blocked my kidney. That is rather unique, the apparent impossible happened to each kidney 10 years apart. Hence I have two half kidneys. I apparently am the only one in the country this rare condition has happened too and it's been twice. The professor said better odds winning lotto twice without buying a ticket. I did not feel lucky at all. I have been on bloody Warfarin- rat poison since 37 and will till I cark it. All kidney donations will be appreciated- please include a GA flight medical clearance. I can supply the scalpel and ice bath.

Ah, so you owned 52 different Holden utes? That's a hell of a lot to own, why so many? How could they be that great if you needed so many?

Yes, they did the PRV ( Peugeot - Renault -Volvo) V6 in a two door version and used it in the Africa rallies which it won. The later 505 had a good cross flow head and can be swapped. Same with the five speed. The brothers has a 5 speed from the 505.

Injected were good but twin solex model was better. Early ones were not cross flow heads so limited in power. This has a full cage, race seats, four points harness and full rally Terra trip etc. 6 matching special rally wheels and dual tanks. The rust is very small spots but easy to fix. The roo bar is poorly made and will be replaced- note front and rear tow Bars for recovery. It cost $3500. Try buying any similar Holden for the same job and it would be 20-30k and not as good.
