Now the friggin' Brumby has shit itself too!
The gearbox was making a lot of noise and jumping out of 3rd and 4th and
today it went "ping" and locked up the front wheels at 60kph, screeching to
a halt in the middle of the road!
A feller in a V8 Bronco hitched up a snatch-strap and just dragged it off
the road and then the RACQ brought it home on a tray back. (We then spent
another 30mins trying to get it back OFF the tray-back! Had to paint the
tray-back with oil then tie the bull-bar to a sturdy fencepost and pull the
tray out from under it.)
That's 1 motorbike and 1 car non-functional and the K75 unregistered!
I wonder if my old pushie still goes.........

 

Ahem. Clem, My dear boy. May I interest you in a very noice scooter

Looks a beaut Pete; but why have you got a reserve AND a high
starting-price?
Usually it's just one or the other.

 

[crowd goes ominously silent]
..... are you dissin' the Brumby?

 

My wife wants one too but I'd rather watch motorbikes.

 

Bugger! What's the going rate for a used gearbox? It'd be a prick of
a thing to remove/install though...


BTH

 

Oh dear, that really will be a box full of cogs.

All of mine do.

The 4-speeds are pretty cheap but yes, a big cheesy smelly prick of a
thing!!

 

I love the Brumby. I know a nutter who had one with a full WRX STI drive train
in it. Fun.

I have a spare Tata 4WD in the driveway Clem.

Met a guy in Adelaide that drops the flat 6 Sub motor in the Brumby, really
makes them motor.

Ummmm - maybe cause I don't know what I'm doing?

Actually, the reserve is there because it's the absolute minimum we want
for it.

The starting price is there coz, whenever I see a $0.99 starting price I
kinda feel like... like.... like..... it'd dodgy. Don't know why I feel
like that, but that's the first feeling I get when I see that sort of
thing: dodgy.

 

Thanks John, I'll be over to pick it up tomorrow evening!

Fellers; the PI trip is back ON and I've got the pizza truck!!

 

What is it about Brumbys that makes people wanna' torture them so?
You don't see this sorta' thing with Sportswagons or Leones.....

 

Tata 4WD Johnno!! (Sheesh; get with it will you!!)

 

Want to borrow a GS Clem?

Boxer

 

[Boxer hears a whooshing sound and stares at the empty parking spot where
the GS used to be..]

 

Yep. That's the one - and one reason why it's going. Carol couldn't
handle the lack of engine braking when going down steep inclines, and
kept riding the brakes, instead of intermittent braking and giving them
time to cool off.

Results - brake fade. All pads and fluids have been changed since then.
