Guest Decca Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Dika then turned to the crowd to begin the formalities. "Distinguished guests, ladies, gentlemen and assorted coastal folk....." ........reached into his tuxedo jacket inner breast pocket, turned a whiter shade of pale, then turned away from the spotlight, calling "ahlocks, ahlocks, where's me speech?" Dika turned back to the spotlight, said to the gatherng "Aw Shucks", could see that Ditdot was the only one around to save him posting 3 straight posts on ANY thread, but decided to stay on this line anyway, turned away from the spotlight again & said "ahlocks,ahlocks, where's me speech?" big Pete could see Dika was in trouble, struck up the band with "blue velvet" til Dika could find his speechwriter (and speech)............

BigPete Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Whilst recently struggling with some over tight and worn out rubber donut thingys Trelleborg10PlyPete was watching a cobber ripping a good 2mm off the diameter of his wheels :thumb_up: when, as he watched the JabiruToTightRims spinning on the lathe, a brilliant thought struck him like a Wotax :yuk: conrod thru the crankcase. "Bloody Hell" :ah_oh: GobsmackedPete :nerd:said to himself. "That's it - no tyres needed." Grabbing a ruler, he quickly measure the rotating rim. Yes, it will fit. :thumb_up::thumb_up: Every one horse town in the country has a railroad, of which most are now unused. :confused: As luck would have it the Jabirue wheelbase was the same as the railway tracks. Geez I'm a genius said LeonadoDaPete as he placed his tyreless JabiChooChoo :heart: onto the local railway track at Echooca. With a shower of sparks, :big_grin: and the rims squealing like a RootedRotax gearbox :big_grin: the JabiruExpress blasted down the track and leaped into the air. Hundreds of JabiruMeToo :thumb_up: owners gleefully ripped of their tyres and followed in his wheel tracks. All over the country, unused railway sidings became the new airports of the Wreckreation community. :face and heart: IFRR trax was the new buzzword, and PioneerPete i_dunno also instigated the new "Get me there in bad weather" rule. "Trim just enough to get the front wheel 2 inches off the deck and stay on the rails at 100 knots" :ah_oh::ah_oh: Of course, CRASSA, :devil: the ANR and the ATSB were not impressed....... regards :big_grin::big_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
