John Willmot is one I think

Cheers

I met John once or twice his name rings a bell the Army guys did it as a full time job we only sat in for our courses so the Navy troops had a Navy staff member there.

i think i saw a video of that set up with the camrys once when we were look into contracting out driver training for the services

yea we were trying to pick up the forces when they were looking at Privitisation.

Unfortunately there were too many white shirts upstairs with too much to lose and too many hidden agendas.

Ken,

I was impressed by the way Micko's handles, and yes I will buy a GTR, but probably not just yet. My appendage is bigger:p

See'ya:burnout:

Dude if you were impressed with the handling you wanna ride in one with a real driver at the helm - take a spare pair of jocks though:D

anyway , enough of the reminiscing and hanging shit ( and probably washing ) on pwptf 's appendage.

The bootlid would fit a complete load on.

His personal one would just hold a gstring and a very small peg

Cheers

weiners anyone ??

ture everyone was trying to protect there own interests in the end its all gone to crap now i hear nothing but bad stories - a mate of mine is the contact manager for Navy Driver training in Melbourne he stops by for a beer whenever he flys in.

Yes , ain't that the truth.

We almost got the W A police to use them for training but some spanker SGT could see his job disappearing and canned it.

Govt f**ing dept's. Spent 1,000's on vids , professional resume's etal and in the end nothing has come of it after about 8yrs.

Got out cos I didn't need the head f*ck and the heart attack

Cheers

broke but happy

Ken

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
