Jeeesuus, with all this crap, floating around, I'm wiff Cav, my first car cost me 70pounds. Petrol was one & tuppence a gallon.
My second car will remain nameless, cause Fiat.
My 3rd car cost me $250, an HR Ute.
Always fixed my own cars, built my own house (1990). My first home was built in 1894 and I put in my own power, a two pot Lister diesel running a Samford alternator.
Me TV used to pulse in time with the genset, so we wrapped a bit of old copper fly wire around the alternator and that fixed it.
Built me own fences , shod me own nags & serviced me own tractors and all the bits you dragged around the paddocks. Kept everything running myself. Butchered me own meat, grew me own veggies, too.
Can't believe the young, can't do anything themselves. Generally they are just spending machines.
Good onyer Cav, I'm with you.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.
