Being the proud owner of a 80 series, real, reliable 4WD, I have no need of a 'help me' BB for parts or breakdowns

[Eastie]

Iain, nice vehicle. Not that you ever would, but say you got caught out helping a poor old broken down sod in a land rover and god forbid the cruiser got bogged or threw a shoe you could give me a yell. No matter where in Australia I could strap my little 78 cruiser ute to my backside and within 40 hours give or take a couple of minutes be lending you a hand to get back on the road. So long as you provide the cuppa and a biscuit I’d be only to happy to help. I’d have to give you the speech about trying to help a land rover driver though – look at your owners manual! Never stop for a land rover driver, not even half way along the gibb river road. Just slow down, smile and offer a pleasantry like “nice day we’re having bloke – looks like you’ll be enjoying it here for a while” and keep you’re 80 rolling. Metaphorically speaking it would be like stopping to help a rabbit you’ve run over on the road. There may be some life left in it but really there is nothing you can do to help other than to give it a quick flick while holding onto it’s ears – exactly what you’d end up feeling like doing to the land rover driver (you could just smile and visualise it though ).

Is that how it goes in the 4wd fourms? Am I in a 4wd forum? Will I be able to drive my 4wd in heaven?

Was there a question? I hope this helps?

BTW: I wasn’t going to respond to this thread until I could add something totally meaningless and useless. I will now lurk in the background and raise the “views” rating.

and I can help out as well with my 76 cruiser ute just to keep me occupied.
Yep you're in a 4wd forum. Its the 'Help the drivers of dinosaurs to stay out of trouble'
Landcruisers dont have problems its left to the others

Fumes from varnish,
Didn't you pair read that thread?

[Eastie]

Mr 3,
And for all this time to think I've been sniffing pva, which to date has left my eyes and nose sore, red and itchy. Thanks for bringing this to my attention - I'll take you're tip and start sniffing varnish instead, the glue sniffing really wasn't working for me.

Anyhow,
So far the tally is 19 (now 20) replies to around 540 views.
That makes it about 1:27 (replies : views)
I expect that each person who replies will most likely come back from time to time to see how the thread progresses, thus some people who reply might view it say 10-20 times.
Lets say that only people who posted into this thread actually bothered to open it (which is not the case as people have confessed). With the square root of 540 being about 23, it is a possibility (a somewhat ridiculous possibility - but a possibility all the same) the majority of the 19 who have replied have visited on numerous occasions creating the bulk of the “views”, whilst the other visitors/members are off choosing other offerings that tickle their fancy.

Just a thought.

[colh]

Eastie, that's not a thought - that's a treatise. And just to add to the numbers, I've probably viewed this thread 8 to 10 times, but only posted to it this once.

Of course, ultimately the answer is 42.

[fxst]

but then only the white mice would know for sure:confused:

[Iain]

What was the question?

[colh]

that's what the mice were trying to find out.

[perksyaus]

I know in my case I am extremely new to the forum / and woodwork in general and don't have anything of value to add. In saying this I love this forum, and when I get enough moola I intend to expand my very small range of tools and start getting my hands dirty.....

Doorstop, stop trying to think so much, indeed at all, you know it only confuses you.
