Good to see some people are still creative Brian.

Top job.

My Shadow responded very well to RM Williams leather conditioner. Pretty unimaginative, but worked pretty well. It came in a 500g tub. Rub it in thick with bare hands leave the car out in the sun all day. Completely soaked in by night time 😊 Did this about every 12 months.

Agree Michel, and there are no wires running all over the city that can be seen like they used to.

Gents, I wanted to post this pic of a new charging solution in Sweden for Volvo full electric buses. This can be installed strategically around the bus rout for maximising the “charging opportunities” Super high kW charging up to 350kW. A few minutes will give the bus an extra 30 minutes drive...

Best Spirit on the road Brian.

Yes Sean, It’s the biggest single order of battery electric trucks in the world so far. 50 of ours, and 10 small trucks (we don’t do these smaller range) from our opposition. We don’t do the trailer thing here in Oz, that’s typically in Europe. We ship containers by rail here, but very few...

Great pics, thanks for posting.

Great looking car mate.

Then this doesn’t sound fair.

You’re right Brian. It has to be fair for all. I’m just bitching about the Government. It would be nice not to pay tax 🙄

As BEV’s owners don’t buy petrol, they don’t pay any of the taxes pushed onto petrol sales. The NSW Government has announced that all BEV’s will pay 2.61c/k and hybrids of any type will pay 2.088c/k. This will take effect in 2027, or when BEV sales reach 30% of the total market, whichever comes...

Ahhhhhhhhhhh it’s all good Brian. Trucks, electric vehicles, V Facts we all learn no matter where it is 🤣

Yes mate, Tesla often outsells Camry as well. BEV’s and hybrids are selling big time. No stamp duty, plus $3k back from the government. Plus some places now offer “Green Car Loans” so instead of paying up to 8%, they are offered at between 2-3%. Why? Because the banks and lenders get carbon...

Thanks for the kind words Michel, however I went off topic, but I tend to get carried away, and drift off into other parts of trucks 🤣 It’s a massive topic, that I’m glad others find interesting. I find the two pics of the trucks above quite interesting with the red line measurements I put in...

Now, regarding Americans trucks, it’s really a way of life. Some with their partners, travel around the USA in their trucks and don’t have a home or a house, it’s their truck they live in. Sort of like a heavy haul mobile home. These are some great examples. I had many a tour through some of...

Yes, Great info Mark. This is the sort of thing I’ve done regarding Titanic, her sisters and the parent company over the years. You get into that detective work as Styria rightly calls it and it can be a lifetimes research. It’s this detective work, that can then make you somewhat of a...

Great question Sean. Here and the USA are pretty much the same as we have a country roughly the same size, with very little rail infrastructure for goods, so the heavy lifting is done by trucks. Especially when it comes to frozen or refrigerated goods. Train carriages/wagons are mainly for dry...

With that sort of coin, Brian must have purchased it 😎

Great point Bryce.
