no wonder that yard was closed, years ago bought a car from them, suffice to say motor traders *** finished up being involved along with SA Police fraud squad, Not saying any more but I was very tempted at one stage to walk around the yard with an open can of petrol.

Fairly sure that its a temporary closure. I remember seeing a sign when the Covid thing started saying all cars had been relocated to another yard. I've never bought from there. |

Another day and another sojourn around the local lake. A pre-sunset shot. I liked the more subtle colours in this one compared to the normal sunset reds/pinks.

Up a trail on Bunya Mtn last weekend:
__________________
 BAII RTV - with Raptor V S/C. RTV Power FG G6ET 50th Anniversary in Sensation. While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

Fantastic shots, would have been great to watch.
