I'll have a go for Cyril. I'd say he can't afford the Jeep. I'm assuming though that you have selected the srt variant. The price between variants is quite large.

For bonus points your vet friend bought a Defender.

Thanks for having a go!

No and no I’m afraid Socky, but.... not all of your chambers are loaded with blanks.

Ding!

On my bucket list to meet her one day and wish her well.

I was sitting next to another Australian swimming legend last night...

He shares the surname of a famous Australian racing car driver, winner of Bathurst amongst many titles. Now retired..

Any takers on the swimming legend I’m referring to (and thus you’ll know the driver..).

Wow! It would have been an honour to to sit next to Larry.

These guys might look at today’s consumer cars and shake their heads.

For any young people here, back in the day, car makers made good cars that lasted. We had a great industry everyone was proud of. I still buy Aussie made cars.

Tsp Aussie cars bought during life about 12!

Kieren Perkins is a big, big man...

that 1500 metre final in Atlanta,[1996 I think] was one of the great sporting feats by an Aussie,
he just scraped into the final if I remember correctly,was in lane eight too.
Man that win showed tremendous heart.

I think @horrie hastings dad had the falcon at one stage.

Nope, he had a Holden Kingswood.

Mates dad had the 75 Premier!

The Kingswood was a 74 model, it took us up the coast to Evans Head and Port Macquarie for holidays many times.

Cattanooga and Top Cat, some of the greatest theme songs I felt. Kimba the white lion not far behind.

 

[horrie hastings]

I felt. Kimba the white lion not far behind.

Never really got into Kimba because i always thought he was to goody goody but do agree the theme song and opening titles are great.


One of favourite theme song opening titles to a cartoon is The Jetsons.

 

[Jim Rockford]

Man, it's been a LONG time since I last heard that Cattanooga Cats theme song. Thanks for posting it Horrie!

 

[Jim Rockford]

Don't forget this classic

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Thanks @horrie hastings I was going to mention the jetsons.

They have this beautiful big band swing!

There hasn’t been a good tv theme since the 1980s!

Officer Dibble from Top Cat.

Ever noticed how Officer Dibbles character is similar Ranger Smith in Yogi Bear. Top Cat used annoy the crap out of Officer Dibble like Yogi did to Ranger Smith but deep down both Dibble and Smith both had genuine respect and love for their nemesis's .
