I dont have any stories as good as Phils, but i saw this the other day about a 1920.s land speed record holding car and i figure anything that goes fast with a 27 litre engine has to be interesting.

I think the 1920's had to be the most fascinating period for motor transport. So original, so hand made and the courage to drive those things unbelievable.
We are still in the past!

That's an interesting one from you Phil. I guess you knew exactly what you were up for in riding through Australia and that you were not expecting any surprises in regard to terrain and culture. In that you were relaxed and really enjoyed riding in Australia.
Well that's how it came across to me!

Flak Bait, during it's missions was hit by Flak over a 1000 times, repaired and put back into service but that's not it's claim to fame!
