up...north. You mean here, right? That looks like a Falcon XA-XC pano, a datsun 120Y and of course VWs.
As for the green one, where was that photo taken? RHD and mounted police could easily be Aus too. Yes we still have mounted police. They patrol cities and large towns usually.
If it is an aussie shot, is that really a Westfalia? If so, wow! that's about as uncommon as they get.
edit: whoops! Yellow lines, wrong side of the road and foreign architecture on the green bay pic. My mistake.
edit again: wrong number of arms too! Ahhh it's a 4 armed mutant! or the driver is on the left. |
Of course it's the Top End. You shouldn't doubt yourself.
I was living in Alice Springs, NT. Me and my mates would try to get away and get some fishing in whenever we could make the time. Snapped the roo bar photo as I passed through Darwin on the way to fish Bathurst Island.
That was one fab fishing trip. The crocs were giving us the eye and the barramundi were jumping in the boat! Toss me another VB. We were laughing mate!

Fusername makes a beautiful setup. He is crazy busy with real life (2 jobs I think) and if I remember correctly his bender is broken at the moment. The key is patience, he does get back to you, just remember he has a life too.

Fusername does make them. I dont know if he has any ready to go, but like was mentioned I do recall hearing his bender was OOS.
His piece is VERY nice. You can see my pictures on the other thread.
Have patience, he'll get back to you.

hahaha, this thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! so sorry to disappoint folks. there will be more, someday, I do get a perverse amount of pleasure making these things, but there arent enough hours in teh day. This is a hobby and not what I do for work.

You're sharp!
Very few 'roos, but plenty of red deer, which are tasty but make a mess if hit at speed, and off the beaten track there are loads of stupid, suicidal sheep, likewise!
I suggested taking off the bars, but the front one makes a great tyre mount, and my better half likes the Australian look (and the way it makes parking safer. Other people's parking, that is!)
