yeah well I don't want any of that, this size is plenty big enough thank you very much

gee it's been so close to rain here for a while it's not funny but just rumbles for now and don't really need any more right at this moment.

Heh, I'm not afraid to spend money, but it has to be to value-add. Can't believe how much people I know throw away for absolutely no benefit beyond the immediate thrill.

They are cool. I originally wanted the Anura Quad, and went for a test ride. Hated it. Too unstable at speed, can't carry anything. Takes up a ton of space and can't stash it easily.

Then the guy said try this Magnum... 170Kg capacity, built like a battleship, stable, easy to handle, foldable (fits in the back of my Getz if necessary), and actually cheaper as well. Already worked out how to carry four sacks of coins on it too...

Now I just need to buy/build it a home, then I can go splash some cash. That's where you come in, buddy...

You might want to have a scout around the Greenspeed site and find a dealer who can let you have a test ride. I guarantee you'd never look at two wheels again.. just ask cobwebs (he's the one who put me onto these things in the first place, many many years ago).

Yup. Just gotta get you down here, or teach me how to do it by remote control.

ausjack · November 23, 2013, 09:40:42 PM

haha easier for me to come down, you can take me to coin show and auction

ausjack · December 11, 2013, 03:49:03 PM

well we've had a bit of rain the last few days and even a bit more of this so lucky it wasn't too big and not as much as the last one and it's still rumbling around

and it doesn't take long for it to melt in my hot little hand :winkextra:

Unicorn · December 11, 2013, 04:01:42 PM

That made me check the radar! Some fast moving storms up your way this arvo AJ!

ausjack · December 11, 2013, 04:08:28 PM

yeah tell me about it Uni blowin and out real quick, just don't want a flood as had enough last year but some rain is good but wish I had the big tank set up out the front but it's getting close now but so is christmas :laugh2:

Unicorn · December 14, 2013, 03:23:34 PM

Well it rumbled for over an hour before it made it over the mountain ..... I thought we'd miss it ...... just caught the edge .....

ausjack · December 14, 2013, 04:00:58 PM

yeah ya don't want to much of that Uni

that stuff I posted the other day was small the had near cricket ball size over the river so we were lucky here, heaps of cars and that damaged but not hard enough to do building damage. My brother said even though it was big it broke up easy so that was a help..still nothing compaired to when I was a kid and the gutters were full and the hloe place look like it had been snowing.

Unicorn · December 14, 2013, 04:05:43 PM

The storm broke into 2 parts earlier. The bottom bit hung about the same spot for yonks before it finally came south over the mountain. The top half took off north flat strap and is just about to pass Grafton ..... so cover ya veggies AJ!!!

Yes, that cricket ball stuff can definately keep away!
The cows, horses and dogs all ran for cover as it was.
Cats ..... on the porch, couldn't care less, though the ears did prick up when a few big ones hit the tin roof.

Weather news to hand ...... it snowed in Cairo ..... first time for 112 years .....
