so those would have had a locked diff right? as no tar to drive on, that would give then great traction all the time right?

off with my 285s and now to find some 100mm skinnies lol
momentum, momentum, momentum.
Tom Kruse would have some great footage as well as Len beadell

Can imagine how rough the ride would have been.
Love the way they rolled it back on its wheels and drove off.

TD, I sat down with Tom a few years back and had a great time talking to him, the only trouble was all he wanted to do was find out more about me and what I did in my younger years. Buggered if I know why.
I was lucky enough that the nurse looking after him was a friend and gave us plenty of time to chat where I was able to ask those questions you would never have time to ask. Having the opportunity to meet and talk to a true legend at length doesn`t happen very often and I will always remember it as if it were yesterday

Thats just beautiful to watch. No yellow shirts or safety boots, just common sense, like when its going to fall on you move out of the way and don't touch the hot bits.

That would have been so cool, he is a legend in the true sense,
There was a Doco on him on the ABC a couple of weeks ago.
great viewing IMO, They say he always had a smile on his face.
Part of our Outback history for sure.

unreal how far they went and how they managed in those days.
