Slick picked hers from the signwriters stock fonts, I have had a look (1 1/2 hours) through some font websites and cant find the exact font, but there are plenty that would look good. Will get a few and do up a design, not sure when it will happen, but hopefully this week sometime.

Good job, hope it all goes to plan. Noy you can go out and break it again.

Unfortunately not, the criteria would have been set for a long time, it wouldnt be fair on people that waited for the full year if it was changed now. I will be waiting patiently to become "official".

Its definitely and Aussie thing, even our version of Burger King (Hungry Jacks here), has what is called an Aussie burger, which has an egg in it Spot on The reason they are a pest in some places is cos your not aloud to shoot them, unless you have a farm and get the right permit. I've never been into shooting, never had a gun, although I was going to drive around Aus at one stage (was a drunk weekned when a mate and I were planning it, didn't ever get off the ground. If we went I would have picked up a rifle.

No, they definitely aren't on the endangered species list, they are almost a pest in some places. I havent had kangaroo myself, but have been told it is good.

Jack Daniels & Pepsi Max

Well, I took B's lead tonight, although I found out after the fact that we didnt have any burger buns, I started with some bacon, Then 5 star premium beef mince, chilli, garlic, onion & green capsicum, once I had pan fried the burgers, I topped them with some good old cheddar cheese (don't like the idea of blue cheese ) This was followed with an egg (its an aussie thing) & some oven roasted green capsicum I then followed up with some fresh tomato & lettuce, topped with a little bit of mayo. With a side of fries. No red wine here, was accompanied by a JD & Max. Overall, this was one of the best burgers I have had, fresh everything, just enough chilli to give it a sting, but not too hot that you couldn't enjoy it.

I had a similar thing happen to me, I was helping a GF to move, I was running 15 minutes late for work so I called up the boss, he was sweet on the phone, said no worries, he will cover for me til I got into work. When I arrived, he called me into the office with the manager and they gave me a written warning for being late, when I said that I called in to say I would be 15 minutes late they said I was 2 hours late, at some stage between my last shift and that one my roster had changed without me knowing. They didnt care, so I sat there and took it. After that I made my bosses life hell at work, I wouldn't cover for him if he asked, if he called up sick (he was a bit of a hypocondriac), I would tell him he better find someone to take his shift because I wouldn't cover him, about 6 months later he quit, I won.

I think the Wife is the first love, pathy 2nd

You guys and gals should jump at the chance to keep any trail open, here in Western Australia most of the trails are now closed, there are only a handful of legal areas I can use within a 2 hour drive for me.

That sux dude, at my old job I dealt with the boss the only way I knew how, I made his life misserable until he quit, I liked the job too much to quit. By the way, you blanked out every swear word up there except for the C-bomb, which I though was quite funny, as its probably the worst one out of the lot.

Slick just went into a sign writer and picked a font, I will sit down tonight and see if I can find a font similar to hers and design something.

Back in the day when I was at high school, if I wasnt at school I was either playing basketball or fishing/snorkelling. We would get up at 3am on weekends, ride down to the beach (approx 1 hour away on the bike) and fish til sun up, then dive all morning and then fish til around 5.

I will make a few calls in the morning, if they exist I will be able to get them. If not, I can get one of our fabrication suppliers in Taiwan to have a look, but not sure about what the costs would be ther.

I have Maxxis tyres on my ride too Welcome mate, hope you enjoy your stay.

I just PM'd Slick, hopefully she will get back to me later cos I think she just passed out.

Yeah, switch or wiring, if the motor is working when winding down it shoud be fine. You could unplug the motor and test the wires with a multimeter to confirm, but I would leave the motor as a last resort.

I will make a call, one of the guys on a local forum works at as a signwriter, he can get vinyls made up, not sure on cost yet.

(You might watch your back) To prepare yourself, start studying Daddy's Rules for Dating. Daddy's Rules for Dating Your dad's rules for your boyfriend (or for you if you're a guy): Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world sex without utilizing a 'Barrier method' of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: 'early.' Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting theSydney Harbor Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool, places where there is darkness, places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided; movies that feature chain saws are okay. Cricket games are okay...Old folks homes are better. Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi . When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

Awesome, welcome to the ever expanding Oz team. Looking forward to seeing some pics of the truck.

Spotted another one lurking around, ThomasMoore, hopefully he will post in here as I have PM'd him.

Awesome looking rig you have there bud, welcome.

Top job fellas, well done. Price is cheaper than Dan listed, bit still 4x price of this mod.

One of the best write ups I have read in a while, well done B. The wife is going away this weekend, now I know what I am building for dinner Saturday night. Although, I will throw an egg in there also.

Honestly, the best ground is to run it back to the -ve terminal on the battery. That is what I will be doing when I get my roof basket done, lights up top with a terminal block in the back, heavy duty cable running from the battery to the block in the back.
