Strangely enough, it's the third sunny day in a row here in Melbourne. Lovely, although the air's still a little on the coolish side.

The tomorrow people are once again kickin' this little thread. Oh....

I think I heard of a few datto powered busses now, I wonder why: there's someone with another one wanting to sell it... My sister's got a real 180B. Goes pretty nicely considering it's age, although you notice how loud it is when you stop and get out of the car! Almost unkillable!

I used to own a real 180B too!! Mine was named "The Gymp" cause the colour was called Gympie Gold. I bought it when I lived in Adelaide and had it shipped up to Port Stephens when I moved then took it back to Sydney with me. I sometimes regret ever selling it... it was a tops little car. Now I need to sell my charade. I hate all the malarky that goes on with selling a car 😠

Hey Barls'ter! - How much for the 71/2 Bay? It's the blue one isn't it? What needs doing? What's with rust? Any interest for the Deluxe?

Greetings to the bubble belly babe also! (What's that all about? Gas emissions?)

Is that good?? I have no idea about the cost of parts and stuff. I leave all that up to Matt. I guess I had better start learning for myself!

I don't know about penis envy.... HotRodMatt is the 'dick' in our relationship.

Vern - We will have 2 kids under 11 months.

Congrats!

Man - we had 18 months between ours, and that was hard.
The first year is Hell, and then they start playing with each other, so it's great in the long run. Best of luck! What's the gender mix?

Funny that Vern and I both went for the elephant angle. Too many documentaries methinks.

As for HotRodMatt as big daddyo - I cant have penis envy there. We all know about that "car as a replacement for small genitals" thing. Hotrodder's are almost as bad as ricer's on that one (just stirring). He's just a frequent visitor with very active tadpoles!

Good one Guys! And best of luck! You going the drugs? I'd question your intelligence if you don't.

I can't say I remember the first few months after we brought the twins home. My wife was in hospital for 10 days after the C/section. I took 6 weeks off work mainly to look after the oldest one. They were breast fed for 4 months so I had no need to get up at night.
Yep was a piece of piss

Ahm, probably not if that's the case. Fair bit of rust means moth eaten pan etc right? We are talking about the 71 and not the deluxe?

vwombat - Be nice about hot rodders.... I'm one at heart too. As for the drugs, well last time nothing worked so I went for a 36 hour labour full of pain. What was that all about?!?!?! I hope I sneeze this one out ( crude and rude.. thats me!).

I think our main problem is going to be keeping Jack away from the new baby (don't know the sex... was all tucked up when we wanted to see), he just wants to smack babies in the face. He is a rough nut!

Hotrodders - It's just that if I had the cash, I'd probably be one too, and I have small genitals (hahahahahaha). Just to prove the point!

Nah, I respect anyone who treats metal with such respect. Long live the Rodder's. Never met one I didn't like!

How much then?

And you'd say that the sill rust is a major job? Technically I should be working more on my current ride, but I'm just happy keeping him going. It'd be nice to have something to play with on the side tho'.

How much did you get for the 2L?

I wonder what Frenzix home delivery would charge for a run like this? Taree to SEQ??? Hmmmmm!
