Hello Peter M. Parkes has been very good for me. I have a 16 month tenure left before I transfer back to Sydney. Would like to catch up next time you are in town. Only too happy to have a beer with a fellow forum member. You know where to find me.[:x)]

Hello Laurie,
Next time I am going to visit the relo's I will make sure the mighty VL (ex chaser) will be cruising on the usual 160 (km/h). You might just find me! [:u]

Hello Laurie,

Yes, Parkes is a great place with great people. I have many fond memories there from day dot with a large family and many huge family Christmas parties in High St. City people really do miss out on the lifestyle and the country education. The only problem is the lack of work, especially in professions.

If you have been brought up in the city I am sure you will have learn't a lot about the country ways. Often the city cops when posted to the country are in shock and have a significant learning curve to start with. But all is usually good.

hey Laurie......

Im all for the bra. I have had concerns about it marking the piant from rubbing etc but if you keep an eye on it and if it is causing any damage or not you will be sweet.

I live in the Adelaide Hills. On a warm night the amount of bugs out on the road is crazy. They get everywhere and are hard little buggers to clean.

if i had a car bra i might drive my corty alittle bit more at night during the summer months.

The 'Bra' is lined with felt.(Soft as a baby bum)And is fitted snuggly and doesn't move once fitted correctly.Wind deflecters on top of bonnet help hold it in place.

Hello Laurie,

"Shaun, I could not locate the old thread of my Escort pre round headlight,..."

I don't want to sound too smart, but I found the thread at:

The car bra looks good and is really a functional necessity for country road driving if wanting to preserve valuable cars's from stone chips and pesky bugs and grasshoppers etc.

Another improvment of the car bra concept would be an inflatable car bra to help protect from roos and emus when driving on country roads!

That looks fooking sweet Laurie...

Gee, I didn't think they had the LH foot rest in 1970
