Buckshot Bear Posted October 10, 2024 Author Posted October 10, 2024 This 1906 FORD Model N is believed to be the oldest FORD yet found in Australia ( engine number 132 ).This two seater runabout has many design similarities with the Model T which came three years later. 2 3 Quote

John Kloehr Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 (edited) A Banksia tree grows a foot each year. When the tree is 10 years old, Buckshot Bear drives a nail into the trunk 4 feet off the ground to hang a target. After 5 years, how far off the ground is the nail? AI will fail to answer this question correctly. AI fails for the same reason it get the following question wrong. If it takes an hour to dry 1 shirt in the sun, how long does it take to dry 3 shirts. Hint: the answer is not 3 hours. Note: AI is Artificial Intelligence, not Albert. Edited October 11, 2024 by John Kloehr 4 Quote
Alpo Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 After 5 years the nail will be 4 feet off the ground. And it takes 1 hour to dry the three shirts. 2 Quote
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 (edited) May be the only one in Australia! Speaking of rare cars in Australia. In 2017, I sold my 1974 Mazda REPU (Rotary Engine Pickup) to an Aussie. I had owned this truck for 42 years. The buyer was a rotary engine aficionado and even raced rotary powered vehicles. He told me that the REPU was not imported into Australia by Mazda and that this may be the only one in the country. A couple years later, he sold it to a more serious Mazda Rotary collector who contacted me for pictures and information. Edited October 11, 2024 by Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L 5 1 Quote
Alpo Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 Does Oz still have that idiotic steering wheel law? Here in the states, the steering wheel is on the left side of the car. But if I buy a British car and then import it over here, and it has a steering wheel on the right - perfectly fine. Absolutely legal. A little more difficult to drive in some places - passing someone on a two-lane road for instance - but perfectly legal. I read years ago that in Oz all cars had to have the steering wheel on the right. This guy had bought a rare Corvette - 63 split window, I think - and had to have it converted over to right hand drive before he could register it. Seeing that Wankle up there in the picture with the wheel so obviously on the left just made me wonder if it had to be converted when it was sold down south? Quote

Different rules for different States, but I know of a few LHD vehicles that are registered. 1 1 Quote

Just curious if it was repurposed to fail to keep out dingos or was this a different failed fence? No completely different fences (golly the cost of those fences!!!) The Dingo fence was in the East to keep Dingo's from the Southern States sheep and the Rabbit Fence(s) were in Western Australia. 1 2 Quote
Alpo Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 I noticed the rabbit fence seem to run pretty straight. But that dingo fence - straight ain't even close to the word. What's the deal? Did follow a river or is it running along a mountain range or what? If it was straight it could probably have used at least a third less material. Quote

It appears crooked on a picture where you've squeezed an entire continent onto a screen. From inside the troposphere, it looks a little different. I'd guess it has something to do with the borders of plots of land being used for grazing. 1 1 Quote
