Quality band why else.


Saw them at Wembley Arena in 1985 ish!  :P

The Disco is just called "Stickers", three guesses why!!!  :-k

The Rangie is called "Rex" after Rex Hunt, the Oz bloke who does the fishing on H&L. He calls himself the Breaded Burbler and as the Rangie a bullbar (the beard) and the V8 does all the burbling then Rex seemed to fit.  :(mad):

She's offically called the " Millennium Falcon"

She's big and white, and she was designed under the code 'Falcon'


When HWMBO first saw her he said 'you got here in that thing?'

I replied with  'look kid, she may not look good but she's got it where counts.  She did the Tesco shop run in under 5 par secs'

She rattles, leaks and has a worrying tendancy to 'smoke' in unusual places....

Most used phrase when driving is 'Come on girl you can do it!' and 'stick  together'

HWMBO has been known on a few occasions to speak 'Chewwie'
- well ok scream like a girl - when bits fly off her at speed :twisted:

The 8 year old can often be heard saying 'landrover broken is' in a sage yoda like way

The 6 year is constantly saying   'How rude' when ever we get over taken by a frustrated Mondeo driver.

If it were'nt for hieght restrictions i'd have a gun turret :(bigwicked):
