G'Day mate Warren, hiding back somewhere down-under in the land
of OZ! How you enjoying your crow? Or is that stones?
<< Quoting KB2VXA to CARS@WW >>
> Funny how Rusty ate your truck
Ya know something readers ... I sort of knew that
oor Warren would have picked up on that, even when I
did correct it...but alast...oh oh well he did need
iron in his diet..right? Just a regular junkyard dog.

Do you really think that he eats that stuff? Nope we
don't fight over that stuff... and with Maria back home
here, order has been restored and we both know our
place.

Despite undercoating, and that is useless when they did the
new mix...I did use a product called Ace of Spades. It
is or a variation is used in the navy to paint on surfaces
that are exposed to salt water...and today what is mixed
with it....eeeesh.

My Tercel 5 speed, reminded me of the days with the
Volkswagon fastback 1500cc .... what a goer in the
snow. while the US cars bogged down in the snow
with their snow tires and all .. I got home via
the 1960 VW with the engine in the rear...and that
famed gas heater. The Tercel brought back all those
memorys. It was fun passing the off road gang with their
oversized...over powered show-mobiles.

There is, as far as I know ... NO connection between
FORD and KIA. In fact, the fault is mine, as Maria
has pointed out, after I sent the message she read it.
The FORD concept car being sold in Brasil, and very popular
is called a " KA " . I liked it so much, I went over to
the local dealer there and checked out the price, which
wasn't too bad. The worse car there...and power on the
hill is zero nearly...is called a "Paulo".
FORD in Detroit....calls it a concept car. They didn't
want to comment on why it is being sold in Brasil. Perhaps
a testing country...185 population.

Well after seeing the folks that need these SUVs here
and some look lost driving them, and ..mmm well they
seemed to be lost anyhow...the KIA is selling at a good
price designed to eat into the market.
I always think ... "if you cann't drive it don't buy it"
>[End of Message #263021 from KB2VXA]
OK ... gotta roll ... Maria and I want to get going today
and go out soewhere... ttfn in the outback mate...or
is that KB2VXA/VK? or ... what a hoot... Ray watching
Bob and warren out fishing in a pond ... but hey what
is that behind them ... A crow? a Stone? oh...oh..mmm
