    Default Never enough

    Took a drive to Allora QLD machinery and swap meet yesterday.

    I know one or two of these tools will make some wish they had. I wish I had the space and $$ sorry didn't ask prices.

    Default ute

    I like the Dodge roadster ute . The ute and cab section could have been made by a local body builder ( not the big muscles type ! ) . Sometimes the vehicle was supplied as a chassis/cowl and the body was made by a local firm. Another possibility is: Holdens made a lot of bodies for different car makes. BTW I've never seen a Dodge with that particular winged radiator badge before, they normally had the star of David somewhere, the Dodge brothers were Jewish . I had a 1941 Pontiac roadster ute years ago, made for the military , the bodywork was done by GMH at Woodville. After I sold it, the car was destroyed in a fire in Adelaide, the horse hair seats smoldered , the muffler was beneath the floor under the seats.

    This is the story written by the guy I sold the Pontiac ute to.

    I assume this was at the Allora Showground? Have camped there a few times in the last few years, nice little place, the pub does a great meal.

    Thats the spot Fred having tried using the shower toilet facilities they need to build one with some room not every one is shaped like a banana. Mate whom we met up with even had difficulty and he's a typcal truckie type. Shoulders were touching wall to wall as he told it.

    Many a country pub does good meals unless they have gone up market.
