Hope you guys down under are doing okay with all that flooding i see on T.V.

 

Just came back from my folks place at the Sunshine Coast. We were getting 8 inches of rain per day for 5 days straight. Most roads were closed, flash flooding everywhere. Was glad to get out of there.

 

G'day all youse on FTE, stateside and down under.

Looking forward the GTG in March in sunny Canberra, the capital city of Australia!

Pickle me Grandmother he has spat it out

 

Happy Australia Day to one and all. 40 Degrees today what a beautie.Pool, beer and barbie with the neighbours. Bring it on

 

Happy Australia Day!

Do they have a day to honor Kingsford-Smith and the lancaster 117?

 

Na m8. but if it involved more beer and barbies Im sure we could get something going.

 

I would be very intrested in any info about the Avro lancaster and the 463rd squadron

my Grandfather flew as the Navagator on Jo-K

He never made it back. I am certain i have family there.

this is about all i know... Malcolm John McLEOD, july 4 1944 age 23

463 Squadron RAAF: Australian War Memorial

 

all I can suggest is get in contact with these fellows.
Real Aussie Air Force
I use to fly against them (IL2 flight sim). They are nice people and take their flying seriously.

 

Thanks Brian!

 

Goddamighty - well, it wouldn't be Australia without a Ned Kelly.

Cheers to one and all! I'll be looking forward to seeing all I can of your Falcon UTE's

There used to be a pub in Kowloon opposite Hong Kong called Ned Kellie's, I hope all the Aussies got out of there alright once the place changed hands. Last i was there I spoke with the bartender and things looked fairly desperate. That would be ten years on by now...

He was staying with friends, and said that it was a rare day he could take in any entertainment beyond food on the table.

Far cry from the thriving place it once was, I bet it's gone these days.

 

G'day - now I know I said I wouldn't post anymore about this, but wanted you to know it'd not be the same without Aussie involvement. We hold pictorial contests of trucks NOT JUST IN THE STATES, but wherever any sort of Ford Truck is.

And I will tell you this: It is a rare day when anyone from the USA see's or hears anything about Australian trucks - which to us look fantastic...

So then I pass to you this link - and you have every right and reason to go there!

Picture competitions - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums


By the by - we do need some help getting this going this year, there have been some complications attracting enough attention but I'm sure we will get it right in the long run. We've been working on this project for years now...

 

had a look at it Wolf. Am Im right, round one is over where do we post for round two. ?? And I usually link my photobucket pics. How do you post the actual pic.??

 

What you see there is a list of all the competitions going on at any given time, as well as all that have gone before.


Each of you has a personal "GARAGE" into which you can upload pictures direct from your home computer - that's the best way, because you can link from them in a self explanatory way (you will see the code underneath the photographs. Just copy and paste using CTRL+C and CTRL+P)

You can find this by going into your "USER CP" and looking on the left margin...

To find your user cp - go up to the top blue bar and look at the menu options

Being Aussies, I reckon you will explore every last thing you can find - I would!

It gives you options to upload pictures within various sizes....


IT IS BEST TO UPLOAD PICTURES IN THIS WAY rather than go outside the website. And for now I strongly commend that you explore all of the options that it gives you.

RIGHT?

I expect you will see and find the keys to post everything everywhere from just that little bit...

If not, I shall be back here once again!


~Your M8 in the USA


Oh and by the way - there are several comps going at any given time. The only one I meself am in charge of is the "WILD TRUCKS" one in there.
Adrian and I cooked this up donkeys years ago - and to this day we have not seen UTE's in high numbers, which I personally think is an outrage...

Aussie UTES are the wildest trucks I can imagine...
