Hmmmmmmmm?? Could I have stumbled across M.O.T.S? Or the meaning of?

Here is an oldie. Here is a replacement for Brian’s ML

Styria, As we were discussing shoes, Santa delivered my first pair of “Comfortech” Florsheim’s. I have always had leather soles on my Florsheims, but as my feet age, so have my comfort needs. I do a hell of a lot of walking at work, so thought I’d give these a go. First day back at work, and...

Nice colour combo here Styria. Not a bad price either. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1237652989?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=ios_VIP&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

I contacted the owner of the green SEL and he was kind enough to send me more images.

A few nice 450’s. The blue car is an eye watering asking price. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1235683094?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=ios_VIP&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms...

Styria, The Cascada is a terrific car, very well built, and as far as I can see, no real issues at all. Great looking convertible as well.

Our Australian spec trucks run dual elements in a single housing like this. Sometimes in remote areas where it is extremely dusty, (especially our super fine red bull dust) they will run 2 of these in series. Modern truck turbos are under so much pressure the slightest trace of dust can be...

What a shame. This car seemed to be really nice, great interior low k. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1233447306?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=ios_VIPGallery&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

Spotted this gem today near my place at Cecil Hills. As usual, with a car close to me, anyone interested I am happy to check it out. Seems very clean, zero rust, and just a couple of scrapes on each front guard as per the pics.

Michel, I’ve made the error of saying “North America” instead of “USA” North America USA It’s the USA, that has roughly the same land mass as we do. And you are absolutely spot on. My point was simply, a very big place with bugger all people as it is so dry :D

Gents, I photographed this today at our dealer in Tamworth. The sole job of this truck is to simply remove and replace wheels for the big Caterpillar or Komatsu mine trucks. It can also carry one wheel. However not on a public road as the wheels are to big. Another truck will bring...

Great question Bryce. These roadtrain guys in the outback only carry spare steer tyres as if a steer tyre blows, truck is grounded. But if a rear tyre bows, the other tyre will take the load. Saying that, if something bad does happen, some remote locations are over 6 hours wait for tyre...

Gents, I am currently conducting training with new staff at our Tamworth dealership. Tamworth is in its 3rd year of drought, and is very serious indeed. So many farmers are selling up, and I heard last night at dinner that some farmers are paying up to $1800 a day for water & feed for their...

Absolutely perfect my leader. I have some great ideas about rocket launchers already. Trucks still carry spare tyres Brian, and they are usually mounted on the trailer if a prime mover set up, or under the side of the truck body if a rigid. Or some carry them on the back of prime movers...

While my wife & I were enjoying some great sunshine on Sunday in the Audi, We spotted this. 2006 C200 Kompressor wagon, 220k on the clock. Serviced well, one owner. Are these made in Germany? Thoughts on this model gents?

I have it on good authority, that the below spy image from Caen, France contains, BenzBoy & M.O.T.S. But who is who, only they can tell us. (The 2 with normal ties are obviously not Brian.)

Gents, Revisiting the LED headlight thread, I thought I would post this image I took of one of our latest truck headlights, which are LED. Please note that the LED array, is mounted in the very top of the light unit, and emits light straight down, onto the semi circular reflector to then...

Top job Jim. The reason why it was butchered as radios back in the 70’s were slightly smaller than the radios we use today that are all of a common size or standard world wide. We know it as a DIN This wasn’t a standard until the mid eighties. Some cars now have double DIN audio/multimedia...

Brian, I completely understand what you are saying. NO topping. We are going to France next year, so we will be sure to try the ice cream you have mentioned. When Leanne & I were in Italy last, we had a gelato (home made small shops mainly when we could find them) every day for the entire 4...
