G'day all just a couple of pics one of the old days, we started in 1944

This one is at royal pines Golf Club and convension centre
The B tripple and the Model .
The model is fully functional driven by a 11hp Honda Engine.
The boss took these to the Australian Livestock Assoc convension when he was President

G'day Dave, you sit in the sleeper cab , the white bit behind the cabin and you look through the windows at the top the engine is between your legs.
It was made as a promotion for three livestock companies but when it came to pay for it my boss ended up with it,so he then he had it painted into the company colors and it goes in parades with the big fella following.
We have to get a permit to take the big one onto a non B double route.

Yep, you sure did see a Commer, Frasers had a lot of them in the early days
I have posted a Warwick Daily News Clipping that might interest you.
I saw Paul and his Knocker at the Allora Heratige Weekend a couple of weeks ago. They have fun , sleep in the cattle crate and are well set up , a lot of truck talk between the owners of the oldies on the weekend.

Hope you can read the print
