Australian Belly Tank

[grumm441]

Maybe 13 years, cos I bought it when was working at Cafe Racer
and then I found out I had too many Cortinas.
And I t was a "Nice Charger" when you were at Thornbury as I recall
Now if we were to talk about the bikes i've had

Enough behind the hand talk. Graham "parked the Zephyr, upside down, on a clothes line " I think was the description....At Thornbury I was in the throes of a breakup of a long relationship, my ex needed a car and in an effort to smooth things I bought one of the too many Cortinas, a neat Mk1. It was a very well kempt relic,apart from some car-park dings that had been added by Graham's ex "Rock-girl" it was a pretty straight concern but the paint was scabby and it had a few primer patches.. I think I gave him $2400 for it.

I fixed a rotten rocker, replaced the fuel tank and sorted out some long term stuff....once it was finished I didn't want to be doing any warranty work for a customer I wasn't keen on doing business with , I then painted the car. My drummer turned up one day and said, "have you paid Graham for it yet?.....I'd be paying him before he sees it or he's gonna want it back".....he did want it back, but he's a gentleman and stuck to the deal. My ex drove the car a bit, trucked it across the country, drove it a bit, trucked it back to Melbourne and then left it in my yard where every long white sock wearing Cortina fan pestered me about it before she relented and let me sell it,of course she made a profit.

I'm doing some work at home today
I work three days and then have four off
I'm looking at a good friend of mines scooter.
It's been sitting here for a while and I have been reluctant to give it back to him because I am scared he might ride it

My task was to make it run and fix the stand.
Making it run. Well I put petrol in it and it ran
Fixing the stand. So I have a look underneath it to see why the stand is going so far forward
The main reason being that the stand stops have pushed thru the rust holes in the floor

It reminded me of a day at the Ford dealer long ago. we used to do roadworthy certificates, which are required to register a vehicle or transfer a vehicle when you buy it.
So I put this 64 holden wagon on the two post hoist, and proceed to lift the middle up while the wheels stayed on the ground.

Normally I just tell him his scooter was firetrucked. however it has been recently restored by the President of the scooter club
that I'm in. Or maybe, was in
This causes me some problems. good thing he didn't bring it to my work where I have some legal obligations

On another note, it would seem that being on this forum ages you somewhat

Front must have been out of balance for that to happen..........
Cops can be nasty about that sort of thing, did he get put through the wringer or was he hung out to dry?

Less than a month and I'm standing on salt
I might have to bring a jar it back for Goggles, who will not be standing on salt but stressing about where to get married

They're still looking for a venue?



Oh, dear . . .

[grumm441]

They've got 5 weeks

Oh, yeah - stupid me - plenty of time . . . 

Stateside, we have what I refer to as "the Wedding Industrial Complex", a clandestine, pseudo monolithic syndicate of independent businesses that prey upon unrealistic bridal expectations and rake in piles of cash by doing so.  Here, landing a location less than 5 months out would be unspeakable.

That the good Dr. and his bride are taking a more relaxed approach tells me one thing . . .

This one is going to work! 

[Dr Goggles]

Same date, same time,Heidelberg Town Hall G, you'll be able to walk, well, fall home from there.....

do not mention the evil INTERNATIONAL wedding industrial complex......

We changed venues, I had already bought all the wine....against the insistence of Deb I had bought a number of different varieties.It would have got pretty boring getting through 14 dozen bottles of one red and one white.......just as well I hadn't already bought the beer as well, you may have never heard from me again.....

[grumm441]

We were looking forward to going to the country
well it looks like a $5 cab ride for us, unless the 903 bus goes past there
It goes past every where else
