When I drive around with my roof down, I've gotta be carefull that I don't get spotted. Knowing my luck it won't
be a sparrow. More likely a flamin big eagle or something around that size.
And NO. It wasn't mine.
Keep at it Gricey. You'll find 'er.

Dave.

Spotting is not a disease fully till you start trying to use google maps or nearmaps to try and find that elusive bellett/florian in some ones back yard!
i have heard of one lurking in a back yard near me and have now driven and riden my bike slowly up and down every road in the town to try to see it, then resorted to nearmaps, next step is to walk through the paddocks and peer over the back fences to try to spot it!
i have also driven all the streets of another localish town to try and find the old fella there that is supposed to own a couple of sedans...
its not obsessive compulsive yet....

Gricey,
All going well. I should be at the nationals this year. My boses' inlaws booked a family reunion on the
same week. I put my hollidays in long before them. And I've booked my accomodation.
Some where on the forum there is a discussion on the rear leaf springs. I can't find it, but I'm still looking.

Dave.

Just search for the phrase "Gerry Bellett" and you should find a photo or two of him studying some rear leaf springs :o :lol:
