    Check out this Truck and Dog

    This beauty has been trundling around my place for the past few weeks and yesterday I found it parked. I had a yarn with the owner and he allowed me to take some pics. My nic should tell you I'm pretty patriotic but this bloke leaves me for dead.

    Lest we Forget.













    I left them big so you can see the detail.

      That is amazing work, but what's even MORE amazing... is that Dan apparently finally figured out how to use his camera!!

      Thanks for sharing.

          Where's the dog?
          Dog is slang for trailer, I think. This is what we call a truck and trailer here in the states.
          NICE paint work on the rig, no matter what you call it!!

              Slang?

              Nope, Truck and Dog are what they're officially called here. Here's a link to prove it.

              And Tod, just wait until I figure out my new digital video camera. It'll be home movie hell for all of you...

                        No, that's the bus depot. Like I said, blame Tod.

                          Well now...

                          that wasn't anything like I what I was expecting (Tod got my hopes up)...

                          But it was fun...
                          Love the accents (we don't have those here in Texas... ahem...)


                          Do we get to suggest a topic for viewing now?

                            Accent? What bloody accent?

                            We Australians live on a land mass about the same size as the United States. You Americans have accents. We speak the same nation wide. Therefore, we don't have an accent, you on the other hand, have several!

                            On the subject of choosing subjects, feel free. I want to do some bike ones obviously but if you'd like to see me recite poetry or juggle watermelons etc, I'm open to suggestions.

                            Can I suggest you (Kat) break out your own camera and post something on your beautiful machine? I'm sure we'd all love to see you juggle melons of some sort as well!
