How many chicks per gallon do you think I will get or are you into metrics where its liters per chicks? I'm only asking as it seems this machine (as per your honest description) has heaps of "Pulling Power" and lets all be adults here, we all need a vehicle that pulls. Can you advise me as to its performance please, based on your observed results, regards A: well funny you should ask Three Toed Sloth my ol friend, the pulling power of these mighty rigs is undeniable, i've seen many a good pull happen from the back of a shorty, not that there's anything wrong with that, as for pull per square inch(which i think is the correct term we use here)it all depends on where your pulling, if your pulling in a public place, ie; the Gold Coast, the ratio of of pulls will greatly increase because of the Hot Chick Per Square Inch factor, i would say going by the formula - PPSI all over HCPSI, that rapid pulling on the Gold Coast would occur, alternatively say in the bush, the pulling would slow considerably due to the more common sightings of the ever present "bushpigs", in conclusion Slothy, it all depends where your gunna go to pull with ya shorty but rest assured Slothy, if you are to win this auction you will be crowned one of the greatest pullers of all time, don't forget quick hands will get you over the line first, goodluck Q: Dear Monaroman .... You are separating yourself from a true Legend. How sad ! To get this "Marvel" over the border to South Australia may require a considerable PR Effort on or off the road (cough) .... with or without a driver. Can you assist the New & Proud Owner with some Legitimate Paperwork? No, NOT the roll of Sorbent that is perhaps stuck in the rear side pocket since 1967? In addition, can you chuck in a FREE BBQ to feed us through the Epic Voyage on route to its wonderful new home in SA? Your Sad and Nostalgic separation of this wonderful Family Icon will be truly appreciated.I promise...... 'Shorty' will NEVER go into RIP "Land" ! Oh, In addition, are you SURE we will need PopEye to Activate the PTO winch? In anticipation ...... "Bless Shorty" ! Cheers Jacko. A: ahh Jacko, so good to hear from a new prospective owner, you are the people that make my wallet swell with happiness, i feel my pants getting tighter as i type, yes it will be sad to see the back of this beast as she wallows off down the dusty track with you leaping from the drivers seat after realizing that the brakes are crap and she won't pull up anytime soon, it is true that you might have to grease the palms (and maybe other places) of some high officials to look the other way as you pass by, but i can tell you my friend, they will sneak a peek over their sholder and whisper to themselves, WTF was he thinking !!!. Any and all paperwork you will require has been jotted down on yesterdays fish and chip wrapper, signed with an X by me and pushed into the dash (mainly to stop the drafts). The BBQ situation i thought would have been an easy solve for an ol bushy like yourself, old HQ holden hubcap on the rocker cover, leave her running and choose the nearest roadkill tenderised to taste, mmmmm yum. don't worry about my tears on her parting the homestead, they will be washed away by the large and rediculous amounts of money that will soon be littered around my bathroom for me to romp naked in, as for the winch, the only muscle you'll need to turn her is the power generated by your angry girlfriend after you tell her you really like her sister, good luck with it all, bless shorty ahmen! Q: 57 years old out of a job dont like working much just. wondering do you do resumes. best description of a car ever had a good laugh. hope the sale goes well. ps i still have my origilal spare tyre aswell. A: Gaz me ol china, your sounding a lil like the cruiser, got a few years on ya, both proud and noble stallions that'll let all the young bucks do the hard work because you've put in your time out in the paddock and you're both sporting a spare tyre where it's of no use and not needed, mate the story of the shorty is writing itself as we speak and a new chapter in it's illustrious life is just beginning with it's soon to be proud new owner, not sure about your resume duties my friend, never got past grade 5, best six bloody years of my life Q: Hello,( shout down it down mountain) I have found a twin yes I am also a very soulful owner of a classic truck I just got a question what type of winch is on the front of this mad max ride is it pto? A: it seems there are many of the brethren, like yourself, now coming forward to claim their rightfull place as true 4x4 owners, yes the winch on the front is a PTO (short for, PLEASE TURN OVER WITH THE MASSIVE HANDLE SUPPLIED BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER WHAT-SO-EVER TO IT), i think this winch was sourced from the last 4x4 pretenders diff, when the mighty shorty drove over it dying carcass left rotting in the shallow bog it was stuck in, not only will you get a pimpin ride if you win the auction but you'll also get a great workout using the winch, happy days Q: hey mate she is a beaut i was just wondering how soon id have to pick it up after auction ending if i was to win? i can pay instantly. A: hi shorty, i can see by your ebay handle that you are a lover of these fine automobiles, shorty, she can be picked up as quick as you can draw the cash from any ATM, i already have a fast boat to nowhere ready to get me out of the country, ahh i mean take me on vacation, she can be stored for a short length of time somewhere on 3000 acres (d d h i t it b d) th b th l d h d it' d li d t il t f 5000 i G i ll Answered On

Q: A:

Q: A:

(depends where i get it bogged), the beast has already had it's pre delivery detail courtesy of a 5000 psi Gerni so all the cow shit has been removed and she's had a major service carried out some time back in the 70s, so as you can see, she's ready to go when you are Don't ya think ya being a rough on the old girl? She is an beauty, Kel Kel, i can see your a man of impeccable taste and can spot a quality vehicle from afar, i've tried to be honest with my appraisal of all the good points, and bad points if any. She is a beauty Kel and been a faithful workhorse for it's previous owners but now it's time to let someone else enjoy for many years to come all that this mighty machine has to offer, It'll be a sad day at the ol homestead when she goes Does it run and drive ok the beast runs great and has done many a pub run let me tell ya, steering is direct and precise, dash is fully

operational to monitor the goings on with the finely tuned donk, brakes are dodgy as but an easy fix to the mechanically minded, hope this helps Q: do u want to be my copywriter.... you could stilll do it if you fleeed the country.. work online A: thanks for the offer but i fear that with the proceeds of this iconic machine , it would be hard to work from such a faraway island as Coochiemudlo, where just such a vehicle would come in handy and probably be considered a prestige machine

Dear monarofan, Ok that gives me plenty of information re economy. And I like your advice. Thanks for clearing up that sticky situation! Ps I am flattered by your esteem for me in your final comment. It normally takes people some time to draw that conclusion, you are a special person indeed to be able to judge me so accurately in such a short time via email. Cheers and thanks Mate, sincerely good luck with the auction, kind regards Slothy. - slothrah thanks for your kind words Slothy, they bring a smile to my heart and a pulsing to my nether regions and yes mate, i have been called special before. Slothy it didn't take me long to work out that once behind the wheel of this chick magnet you would become a great puller and any sticky situations (you know what i mean, wink) that you get yourself into would be quickly overcome by the awsomeness of the shorty, your wide toothless grin would be all that is needed to confirm your legendary status as a world class puller, although it wouldn't be as wide as the grin on my face knowing that i'd have all the lunch money that you'd been saving since grade 2 if you are the succesfull bidder, good luck my friend, happy trails Monarofan Dear monarofan, Would you trade it for a cadillac and my 1st born son?? Signed anonoflan..

- miltonflanagan41

Dear miltonflanagan41, well well well, Anonymous Flan, my friend there would be no point in trading a cadillac of the bitumen for a cadillac of the dirt, one cancelles out the other my friend, you would be right in assuming that this king of the bush is well worth the price of any prestigious marque like what you are offering but i'm afraid that i would much prefere to relieve you of large sums of cash, as for your first born, now that is of interest, tell me is he a strapping young lad able to turn a crank handle to start the shorty ? or better still , hows his hearing ?, will he be able to hear instructions as they're shouted from the drivers seat over the sweet sweet roar of the donk as he pushes me out of a deep boghole on the beasts final voyage round the nether regions of the farm before it goes to a most deserving new owner ? get back to me big Flan about your proposal and we'll talk turkey - monarofan
