I admire this man (?) Cav, the amount of crap and shoit that is constantly dished out to him is amazing. Lesser person would have gone whinging to mummy's apron strings and complaining about bullying.
But not our dear Cav, just takes it on the chin or the balls or wherever ![]() Must be nice to be so ignorant and non understanding of all that is dished out. ![]() he says with plum firmly planted in dark places

Well the first maiden voyage of the ute from Yap-Hoon to Mackay went very well.
About 700km round trip. I am very happy with the way the ute went. It is very comfortable. It has the 5 speed auto and I finally was able to modulate the throttle when overtaking otherwise it has a tendency to drop down too many gears. Gear changes are very smooth and that aftermarket exhaust has a nice low sound. While filling up at Mackay, an old bird yelled out to me that the ute was a nice colour. I tell you the chicks just won't leave me alone. The recent service mentioned that the front tyres (brand new Chinese ones - they look great) were wearing unevenly and there is a very slight coolant leak at the thermostat housing. I did notice that the coolant color is not quite right - it is light green so I could tell it had been topped up with water. I have booked it in with Herb, a local old school mechanic, to give it a wheel alignment and rotate tyres as well as replace the thermostat and flush the radiator. Then it is a matter of waiting for the door spear and aerial from Jefferson Ford. Then all jobs are complete. (Until I discover sumting else ![]() I washed Miss Penny today so she may get a ride in the ute tomorra. |

I drove down to the beach this morning to do my usual 6km run along the waves' edge so the chicks can ogle my body, and on the way back chicks were throwing flowers at the ute.

Is that because they were to old to bend all the way down to reach the stones?

No, for safety. If they’d done that, he might have trouble keeping his eyes focused.

Hey Cav, great ute.
With COVID restrictions the way are/were, have you thought about posting some photos of it up on Facebook so that your whole family can see what you have bought? |
