I remember from your old Emails. I was in 1RAR and lived at Lavarack.
I don't think that I remember your 1600, unless it was the high one that was once in fast fours/hot fours 'readers rides'. I think that it had a 4WD snorkel on it. It was a off-road 1600 for sure!!!! I was only starting to get into cars when I left TSV. I used to ride my dirt bike at the track behind the Uni,and at Charters Towers Enduro circut.My X was doing marine studies(?) at JCU,and we used to frequent bludgers every Thursday night!!! Not a bad place to live but my friends and family all live in ACT or Sydney so I moved back and went to uni here.
