If he had left the engine in it he could have pushed the Patrol when it stopped


Sorry that's mean

I remember them, they went like the clappers, even on the "Old Stuart Highway"

There were thirteen Clippers all together. They had one bus that developed an air leak in a suspension air bag on the Left Hand rear (didn't know they had that stuff back then) About 6 of them had the old one out,assembled a replacement and back in the bus in about 2 hours. They had all the equipment for major roadside repairs and really worked as a team. Bob

I bet he came in handy along the road at times with all the gear Bruce. Would have been a good fellow to share a beer with.

Bob if he could not have sorted you out in a fix it would not have been for the want of equipement he certainly had enough gear. The outfit was their home and workshop.

They had sold up there house and already owned the van but were looking for a motor home and eventually decided to fit the van onto the truck as a motor home of similar size was more than they were prepared to hand over. It was well set up inside and looked more comfortable than a lot of vans.

Saw them at Coonabarabran at the John Oxley van park in 2007.

Bill Murray we met along the Newell Highway south of Narrandera where that shot was taken. Often wondered how Bill was getting on and if anybody had seen him in their travels. He had a young Blue Heeler with him as well at that time.

Interesting the people you meet on the road. Best part of traveling I reckon.

Cheers, Bruce.
