Default Cav's Ute

Well I've had a few ute staring with a Zephyr ute in the mid 60s.

Other utes I have owned are:

VU Holden SS

AUIII XR8

VE Holden Omega

FGX XR6

And now I have just put a deposit on another one seeing as I have been uteless for a couple of years.

I get it in 10 days' time.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

This may be it; the propulsion died due to:
1. Stomach trouble due to strangles caused by eating Cake.
OR
2. Just overloaded with Cake/ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

I’m pretty annoyed with Cav. He wasn’t supposed to announce until I’d finished the “Kerbside Rebuild” thread on it.
