He lives in Wogga Wogga, or some such part of the outback, and his bicycle has a puncture.

I hate to be pedantic Bob ( ) but it is actually Wagga Wagga [-X

They let me in Alan, so I can't see you having a problem.

I hate to even pedanticer ...it's actually Burradoo.

My bicycle tyre has healed, however one of my floaties has a puncture, and I keep swimming in circles.

...it's actually Burradoo.

That's interesting, I have a cousin who lives there and he never told me that!

[Bob Bull]

No doubt Burradoo is the Australian equivalent of Inworth. Both a long way from the Leathern Bottle.


Anyway Greg, you don't have time for all this nonsense you should be nailing that old Morgan back together.

[Greg Mackie]

OK children, gather 'round. Burradoo [Aboriginal word for 'Place of many brigalow trees'] is about 200 miles N/E of Wagga Wagga [Aboriginal for 'Place of many crows']. Must never be called 'Wagga'.

After finding my box of monel nails, I have nailed the rear 1/4 panels on.....don't rush me, Bob !

[Bob Bull]

Well tie me kangaroo down ................... who'd of thought it?
Maybe Greg will e-mail me pictures of his restoration that I can show around at the Bottle in January.

[Greg Mackie]

Bob, I tried sending some photos, however the email 'bounced'...old address, perhaps ?

If you email gregatkirrapakdotcom I will try again.

Dear +4 fanatics,

At the moment I am still reading "The Book". For me the most important "news" was to see on page 102! The one and only +4 Super Sports are +4's, low line body (just one with a Serie III, Serie IV and Serie V), two seaters, and ofcourse Lawrence Tune engine, exhaust, LT- inlet, and 42mm Webers. I have to count the numbers of this type in my factory lis!!. But, I have the feeling that the total will be around 50 or 60. The rest are +4's with a Lawrence Tune engine. So, it's not a +4 DHC Super Sports............... or a +4 4 seater Super Sports. Interesting "news" isn't it?

Hi Machiel,
an interesting observation. Just because it says this in this particular book does it make it fact? What if a car's owner was not that stated in the book, would that mean that the correct/real owner in period was not in fact the owner after all? What if an original log book for a car states the model as "Super Sports', from when the factory first registered the car would that make it more definitive? And would it be the case that if the car had a high-line body then the factory must have got confused with the model designations when it was being manufactured and registered? Was it perhaps a mistake made on just one car, or a serial mistake being made on a number of cars registered up to March '62 at least?

Something to discuss further in Jan perhaps?

Regards,
Simon
