[mjd1810]

hey guys brett's the name,been checking out heaps of your sheds here and they are awesome, kinda make mine look like a matchbox in comparison but anyway here it is, holds all my tools and enough space to work on 1 car so it does the job, i just need to erect another garden shed to store all the family's junk so i have more room in my workshop haha.

thanks mate for the warm welcome, the 1st step is to get me another garden shed for storage and then i can fit out the workshop with a bigger workbench,bench grinder stand & cabnits for storage.

re the steering wheel thing: it's pretty lucky they are on the wrong side of the car cause we drive on the wrong side of the road hahaha

Good job Brett. This is what you need to do. Pour 2 cold ones (Fosters), not one, put some jumbo shrimp on the barbie, and I'll be right down. And you must introduce me to the Crocodile man and his friend, Dunk.

Hey man!!! What you have is unimportant . Your welcome no matter what. age , race , gender . All are cool. It's o.k. to have different views on things. Remember an opinion is just that and that's cool. I wish I had the cash to visit your country.

 

[Plushy]

Hi Brett ,
I am in Victoria near Ballarat about spittin distance from the Super Southen Swap meet when its on .

I recently did a Brake swap on the Wifes VY SS Ute using 5000 series DBA Rotors and R8 4 pot calipers . it stops pretty good now

 

[bigjon]

G'day & welcome Brett.

 

[R1chy]

Hey man!!! What you have is unimportant . Your welcome no matter what. age , race , gender ...

.. or even what side of the road you drive on. Welcome. Hey have any pictures of a road train you can share with the forum. Seen a few in person but never had a chance to get a snap and think the guys might enjoy seeing what a real road machine looks like.

R1chy

 

[pipehack]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! Road train. Pics of that would be awesome! Great idea R1chy.

 

[mjd1810]

here ya go fella's.....when ya driving in the outback & see 1 of these bad boys coming your way you make sure they get as much road as you can give them.

 

[strnge]

Is that legal?

 

[pipehack]

Holy ****! Which one of those holds that drivers balls? Is that all petrol?

 

[RobSmith]

No mate it's beer. They usually deliver two of these to a pub each week. What you really want to see is these things backing into the loading dock

 

[Topcat]

Hi Brett, aussie to mate.....your in the same boat as me our shed are toys in here i am about to start to find the floor in mine and open a thread myself.

This sure is a wild place for garages!

 

[naki kid]

welcome aboard this is a fantastic site .Aussie isn't that some where near NEW ZEALAND.

 

[850pete]

Cool Stuff Brett, Another aussie here too would you beleive I own a Black XU6 too.........#66!!!

Small world hey?.....I know how junk accumulates i've been trying to clean up my shed for months!

 

[R1chy]

Boys take note of that Roo Bar our front!!! Believe me it is necessary and used more than you would think.

Thanks for the picture. I've got a picture of one flying past, but could only capture two sections since I wasn't far enough back - besides it was all a blur.

[toadjammer]

I am apreciative we do have trains on the highways in the states. It is bad enough when dive in a wind/rain storm with tripples and long doubles through Indiana and Ohio. I can't imagine how much quads must sway when pushed around.

 

[RobSmith]

When you see one coming. you look for some where to pull over. the sway can be pretty wide on some roads. My dad was passed by one at 70 mph ( he was towing a 20 ft caravan doing about 55) and the vehicle and trailer was sucked around and that sent him spearing off into the bush. The car and van jumped the dish drain and that bent both car and van chassis. He had to drive another mile to get back on the road without driving down and up the dish drain......never saw another vehicle during the four hour ordeal.

that's awesome it sure is a small world lol whereabouts in oz ya from.

 

[850pete]

I'm in Brisbane,

They're such a great cruiser and once they're up on boost they can certainly hold their own with the bigger engined HSV's.

 

[OZChris]

G'day from another Aussie

That is fricken amazing!! I never heard of, much less seen, anything like that until reading your post. And here I thought the tandem trailers I see UPS hauling down the interstate were long. They don't hold a match to that! You aussie's are nuts (in a good way!)

 

[coasty]

Hi from yet another Aussie. I'm in Hervey Bay. Man theres a some cool sheds (sorry garages) in here. I have a mate that drives those monsters. He reckons they don't stop too well. LOL Massive understatement.
A mans shed is his castle. She can have the house.

 

[to fly]

Count me in the Aussie gang, down on the Mornington Penninsula, Victoria.Love this site, it inspires me, keep up the good work, cheers
