Re: Another first...Australia
Chris,

You have obviously developed the technique of foreplay into an absolute art form!

I always wondered what it was that was making your Princess smile!

When do we get down to the nitty gritty?

Cheers

Wink Re: Another first...Australia
Guys,
I don't find these jokes funny!!

I imported a MkIIIb tub and body from the US late last year and when following the tracking of the container it listed a delay due to "roll/stacking".

Initially I thought it meant rolling out the containers ready for lifting ontot the ship, then it hit me. The bloody contained had actually rolled. 6 weeks of stress until the crate arrived.

Only damage was to the crate itself and the roof, which is weak as anyway.

So if anyone has a spare MkIIIb centre cockpit section laying around. I might be in the market.

Re: Another first...Australia
Hey Chris
I see the Brisbane docks are still unable to establish proper container handling equipment. Are you sure yours is the only container to survive? my xray specs reckon it's the one still on the boat and 1/2 submerged. Don't worry though fibre glass doesn't rust. I blame that b...y ex kiwi former Premier Joe Bjorke Peterson. I'm with Russ is that you and the missus featured in your avatar.Good luck with the build.
Ross
