Jim,i like your chicken jokes.Next time your down this way we'll go and hand feed the aussie chickens/bush chooks pard.I gotta warn ya.They got crazy hairdo's and are a bit unpredictable.
Glad you like them charley,as a boy i used to stand at the edges of farm paddocks watching the fletcher pilot doing low passes between the wires and perfect low level hammerheads for the next pass.Sometimes i got so keen i'd even stand on the down wind side.
Barry your dad sounds like a whizz engineer,you were lucky to have that level of know how to help.Daytona beach has been famous down here too for as long as i can remember.Every motorcycle riding mate i knew back then used to drool over the bonnie and people our age still do.They bring quite big money now.As you know the mach 111 popped up about the same time as the 69 bonnie,the only thing they had in common was the fact that both had two wheels.
