toys for the boys - its country versus city

Postby Sky Pilot » Tue Feb 15, 2011 5:31 pm

I've just had one of those blokey days and now its all done, I am into a couple of Pale Ales and I began reflecting on what my favourite part was. I used - among other things - several of my favourite "toys". First up a few errands that required the heritage listed Landcruiser ute to get a run when I went to the local general store to get 10 litres of petrol in the can. Then toy No.2 the trusty Stihl chainsaw which I would never leave home without. A bit of judicious pruning, some clearing of crap on my front lawn etc. Out came the Honda 4-stroke whipper snipper - a very cool device. Then finally the Greenfield ride-on mower. Ayrton Senna turned in his grave when I swung past the pine trees and overlapped my asparagus patch because I was going too fast. Now I am on another fav toy, the laptop. No wonder I need these coupla beers! Anyway it made me think which of these adult toys do I love the most? I thought even further and figured the people who live in suburbia would have and entirely different array of toys. So what are yours?

My classic 1984 Porsche 944. Goes like hell especially in second gear which I'm sure was designed for traffic light GP's. Probably useless in the bush but then again a "heritage listed" old clunker Toyota ute would not be welcome in the Hutt Street restaurant strip.

My toys are :
For fun..1968 XT Falcon,Felt BMX street bike ( Belongs to Junior Boon but I turn back the clock every now and then on it )
For work..Rover 4stroke mower, Ryobi 2stroke line trimmer, Stihl 4 stroke Hedge trimmer.

All others shall remain a mystery.

Your AA battery budget is pretty high huh Boonman? I'm waiting to try some your missus's home made pasties so when are you gunna drop some off on your way around the Brittania roundabout? I'll be the guy in the flourescent jacket standing on the side of the road waiting to scoop them up.

I like your Falcon toy. Classic. The Ryobi should conk out after one or two years so be prepared to replace it.
If I say something nice about Port Adelaide will I qualify for one of Mum's pasties inside the 12-month embarg
