Ahhhhh! No not the venerable land crab, hard to roll one, they've got a wheel on every corner.

You betcha. Great to see three of them in that line up. I had a VE (160 HP, of course) before I upgraded to a VH 770 Regal (265, of course).

I always thought the Austins would make good boats. After all, they did float on fluid.

Greg, one staggered out of here during the 2012 variety bash, one side floating on fluid,the other supported by 100x100 mm REDGUM house stump, dropped tyre pressure to suit and they caught up to the rest of the rally at Echuca,they must have driven the ring off that thing to make it!. Having the Stig behind the wheel helped I suppose.

Yeh, they were built like a brick and pretty much looked like one. Hard to kill though.

When we were kids we had an austin as a paddock basher. All the suspenison collapsed but the bloody thing kept going. We ending up just smashing it into trees till it just couldnt be driven anymore.

Dave. The car bodies by now have a youthful finish and proform better and closer to the ground, the other body is patched up every time it goes out and is all so closer to the ground

Geez Rosco,
So profound, but true!
I would be astounded to see what time would have contributed!
.......to the gravitational reality.

Darren just look at yourself in the mirror or any old national geographic.
