Didn't they come from the factory with rust?

[Peter Laidler]

They were made from water soluble steel. The Triumphs and MG's that were exported were sent deck cargo on submarines. Except yours of course Gary!

[CINDERS]

On a quiet day in Australia you can hear the Fords rusting away!

Roy,
You are showing your age there, now that brought back some memories

[Peter Laidler]

Do they still do all that pokey drill bolloc........, stuff. The man with the magnificent moustache shown doing it in the SAT manual was one of our SASC WO's. Forget his name now but not as ferocious as his moustache would indicate!

That pokey drill stuff always reminds me of that RAF drill squad stuff......... I mean..... what is all that about? We used to call them tick-tock men!

[Gil Boyd]

Peter,
Exactly......I was going to mention Bootsie & Snudge, but didn't want to insult any former Brylcream Boys out there. Thats exactly where it came from. National Service "In the Pokey"
