G'day from Western Australia

[Recy Mech]

G'day from Western Australia.

Came across this site whilst doing a bit of research into the possibilies of importing into Australia a M35A2. When I was in the army (Australian) I was a recovery mechanic and drove a M816 wrecker.

Must be going through a mid-life crisis to start thinking of that stuff. Anyway looks like this is the site to be for all my questions.

Cheers & beers.

If you're able to pull that off, you'll have the distinction of being the sole private owner of an M816 in the whole of Australia.... and that would be awesome! Cheers Mate!

Re: the M816....nah, not a hope in **** about getting one of those bad boys. Although.....it does have merit The missus would have a stroke with one of them parked on her Roses.

Something nice and simple....a M35A2, just saw a post from 'downunder' who looks like he's doing it.

Going to start the ball rolling by joining the Military Vehicle Collectors of Australia Association.

Do you think you will need a 'roo guard on the front of a deuce or will their bumpers and grills do the trick? Welcome from Minnesota

Welcome Recy, from New Mexico. I went Down Under and worked on a big cattle station in the Nothern Territory, made some good friends there and never will forget it. I would like to take my family there one day so they can see to. I REALLY liked the beer and the Bundaburg (Miss spelled) Rum. Feel free to PM me any time.
