You should get your self a bulk tank at home and get them to deliver, you'd save a fortune not not having to run out to all those petrol stations!! ;)

Wow... what a truck.
Reminds me of a Zil 167?
How did it get to go to Australia?

One reason I moved to Orkney, especially where I am now, is the lovely uninterrupted sea views...

As you see, a great view out the window! (yea I know I need a window cleaner!)

Its a beautiful view and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

It must be quite romantic at times, as the burnt orange sunset just begins to peep around the gently rusting window surrounds, and if you listen carefully, on a really quiet day? You can just hear the gentle "tink tink tink" as another seal perishes and has to be replaced.

Ahhh, heaven on Earth.

Yep, you're right there. After every storm you can't see out the windows for want of salt. After a year of two new window mechanisms rust and stick. After 10yrs the window falls off when you try to open it...
I looked under a fairly good looking abandoned Landrover. The chassis had completely gone. The only evidence there has ever been a chassis was the discolouration in the grass!
Even the massively built steam roller is gradually rotting into the ground... Seriously thick metal there. Looking forward to getting the Zil inside by the end of the summer

Out for a little drive. Nice weather too!
Got the new battery switch from Glazewings fitted. Much more original!
Been trying to get 2 spare wheels on the back carrier. Hope it takes the weight!

Cheers

Looks like you're having fun! That brown/green/sand colour that the front end has ended up coated in looks quite good on it ;)

How do you add pictures? Seems it will only take pictures 200x 200 pixels?

Photobucket is really nice and easy. I found Flickr does funny things with the URL

Thanks , guess I'll have to bite the bullet and give Photobucket another go then. I stopped using them a number of years ago for personal reasons.

You can't beat the smell of napalm in the morning!
