  2. A Jabiru suffered engine failure after takeoff near Wentworth, NSW on October 1st. The aircraft crashed into trees. Two people escaped.
  3. ..........the crowd went wild especially a big shape in a dayglo pink shirt which was being picked up by the uv light. Cappy, who was dressed in knee length shorts with an orange shirt hanging out and a pair of sunnies (clearly not needed) was lurking and slobbering over the girls - those big Caribbean types that squash ............

  5. ......Hoki Tika Rock Band. Hetre they are pracitising in a New Zealand dining room for the floor show, and about to switch to a slower tempo for their main song. The singer has a cold, but on a good night ..................
  6. It hasn't been lost; you just haven't searched like the rest of us do.
  7. ....Turbo had the cash to put a robotic cat skinner in every cat farm. This of course put the cat skinners out of work but most of them, as in the transport industry were Indians on temporary visas so he sent them back. That left 17 Tru Blu Australian Cat Skinners. He opened at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas with the show "Cat Skinners". Americans being Americans didn't take any notice of the Title; they were in Vegas and Caesar's Palace was Caesar's Palace. As we know, Vegas is FULL of cats, and it wasn't hard to train special cat dogs to catch them. The 17 skinners came on stage at 8:30 and skun cats for two hours. Some people came out throwing up, most looked green and 25% rebooked for the next show. Sam Petrucci, the owner said it was the best show he'd had in years, in fact grossing more than Liberace, and booked....................
  8. ....extra million or so for the batch. TPR had hand picked the audience from various people who would believe anything without checking, and seated those with multiple beliefs down the front, grading towards the back where the people who always checked the facts were sitting quietly, not getting wrapped up in the pantomime,but ready to spread the word the next day and trigger believers to rush in to their proctologists. Of course they were too late to get an appointment because all the believers had started to feel toothache "down there". The protologists joined the rich and famous, and more people imagined they were biting themselves. Many, when the Proctologists told them there were no teeth, went out and had implants fitted. When people started to tell them it was a scam, they became enraged and sent YouTube copies of the ..............
  9. Well in the cities, departing the runway, but out in the country raising them as soon as you slow protects you from roots, undergowth flicking up, rocks etc., bog holes where a wheel drops in lowering the wing.
  10. You have to SEARCH for them, they drop down the ladder when people get tired of them.
  11. .......toured the Capital Cities with his scripted "Breakthrough for people who have been bitten on the a***". Towards the end of his presentation he'd added a joke section for the ferals, and this proved more popular than his medical story. Turbine Public Relations quickly seized on this to launch a Games Show called Bitten on the a***, where contestants started with the theoretical Khyber scenery and Sneaky Cappy firing at Turbo, then .......
  12. .......Mormon and worse, one of those WA barons who built the rabbit proof fence, and worse than that had his Bulldog, Bull slobbering out of sight in the folds of his silk Knight's underdress. The polite request was too late; so was the "GET BACK HERE! you XXXXXXX mongrel!' but as Bluey brushed Sir Onetrack's leg, there was a snorting and slobering sound, which at first was taken to be Sir Onetrack crapping his pants, but from the folds emereged two enormous bottom teeth, then ...............
  13. First attempt would have upped the stress meter. Understandable mistake. Sometimes it's better to go away for 15 mins to settle down, refocus.
  14. People are posting on GA, and overseas data. RA as reported appears to be consistently better than a decade or so ago, however reports seem to be haphazard compared to those times.
  15. Luckily yes sometimes. Have a look on the ATSB files for the hundreds of times where the Airproxes turned into fatals.
  16. ......Turbo had to tell him to reverse and get between the lines because the Bentley was scraping the aspidistras. There followed a pleasant two hours of revving and growling, roaring and screaming untiul some Nouveau Riche rang the cops who marched in and red stickered the Bentley for a loose rear vision mirror, two sagging door handles and a sagging right rear mudguard. Turbo stood up for his friend bull and threatened to fight the constable whether she had a different cap or not and...................
  17. ........drive the Chinese car away from the house until it caught fire, then go back and start the Corvette over and over for twenty minutes just to hear that beautiful rumble as it fired up. It just happened that bull turned in the drive, saw the burning Chinese car, heard the vette and ........................

  19. .....online shadow of the former giant which features snapshots and ....... "Wheels (plural, eh Tubb?)'' Not many people know that this behaviour finally reached Old Mr Murray, the publisher who came storming down the stairs and said "The copy boy can write better than you lot; fired them, appointed the copy boy, Tuckey, Editor in Chief, and declared "This magazine is going to be called "Wheel" until you fix it!!" Bill Tuckey was in with the Formula 1 crowd and when he came to Melbourne would drag Turbo along to meet the drivers. Bill was known for being able to write a 12 page story on the back of a Marlbro Pack while he walked, and this day phoned up Turbo and said "We have to write a really good story or even I'll be turfed out; GMH are going to release a new car range next year; can you do some drawings of the new models?" Turbo, sensing the urgency, asked "What do they look like?" and the Great Man said "When I visited Elizabeth I saw a pallet with 10 inch rims. Can you send the drawings up in a coupe of days?" Turbo drew some Chevy models, the story sold record numbers and old Mr Murray changed the name back to Wheels.

  21. its ability to absorb energy. Not many people know that the C2V was the father of the Five Star system adopted by Monash University in Australia because they didn't know what to call it. "Basically if your car crumples like a C2V it must be safe," the head of Engineering, Priscilla Cevlecia said to the assorted media, but when Wheels Magazine's ...........
  22. ......money to pay for their racing equipment. It didn't cost much in those days because they drove the cars and rode the bikes to the tracks, and fuel was a penny a gallon. Giacomo was picked up by a French Team and made Chateau d'Lyon his home. Not many people know Giacomo Turbine was the person who invented the first recreational aircraft in the world. When cars or bikes crashed he would take bike engines and aluminium panels back to the Chateau on his pillion. It was there he concieved and built Le Pou du Ciel - The Flying Flea. His sponsor Citroen mass produced them and soon they were crashing all over France and the incontinent............
  23. ......Austin. Old Harry Firth-Turbine used to say he wondered why anyone would buy that old Pommy crap where the windscreen wipers fell off, the seat coverings resembled hammocks after six month and the paint faded after three weeks and the Jags sitting beside the road all over Australia because the Lucas fuel pumps only lasted six months until the Government stepped in and .........
