I don't know what is more disconcerting,.......

A Dalek on traffic enforcement duties:

INFRACTIONAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Or Rod Stewart trying to expose himself to some respectable members of our noble forum:

That Dalek is a letterbox between Tenterfield and Glen Innes. It is up for sale on Ebay I think. It is made out of old Tools and car parts. Quite the sight as you tour along..

So after an action packed weekend at the Australian FJ Anniversary it was time to head home.
Bikes on the trailer, Quick stop to drop  CanDman at the airport and hit the road.
5 hours down and Danielle was getting a little restless in the back. So she decided to look on eBay for a corbin seat.
No Corbins but she did spot a 89 silver and white FJ for a good price and apparently a 1350.
Well that last bit got a reaction from the front seat and it just so happened to be on the way home.

So from a little prompting from my darling wife (who was I to say no ) arrangements were made for an inspection.
After a short test ride (flat front tire) and a little negotiation. Our latest addition was loaded up.
A special thanks must go to Chandra for planting the seed about having twins :good2:

So to all that gave us a ribbing about trailering. Ive now got 3 FJ's. How many have you got?

                                              The Twins

Now that's cool.... Sounds like you got a good deal.  I have a question, how wide is the bed of your trailer ?  You have 2 more than me.... One keeps me broke enough  :good2:

Darran,

So, are you going to 'massage' the suspension so that Danielle can ride one of them?
It works for Chandra, and she's shorter than Danielle.

A 160/60x17 rear is 1/2 inch closer to the ground than OEM, and you can raise the fork legs a bit, and re-contour the seat.  And, you should also be able to lengthen the dogbones ...... It should fit her well. :-)
