    Kiwi-A-Salt and Calendar

     



    Bill Ward, a Kiwi brick-layer is going to have another crack at records on Bonneville.
    In real Kiwi style, it's all being done on a shoe string, and rodders from all over New Zealand have chipped in to help, with offers of motors, body, and mechanical and financial help.
    To this end, a bunch of 56 Kiwi lady rodders decided to do a 'girly' calendar to help raise funds for Bill.
    (Yep, that's right, 56 nekid Kiwi rodding gals, barefoot from the neck down, my comment was: That's enough for one for every week and a few spares! And no, before you ask Uncle Bob, She Who Must Be Obeyed is not amongst them. Her comment? "I'd need ironing first!")
    Most astonishing good luck to them!
    I'll post up an url to Bill's blog site, so if you want to find out more about Bill and his flat head Ford it will be all there for you.
    And if you want you can order a calendar!

    It's all in a good cause, so I hope I haven't offended any Moderators.

    Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.

    I would NEVER ask such a thing of Ms. Rosie...................now, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't be surprised if YOU were in it!!!!!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Yeah, well, they aked me to be in it, but the doctors wouldn't let me, they said that too much excitement could be bad for me, and they'd have to double my medication!
    But.....did you order a calendar? At NZ$10 that equates to about US$7:80, and it would sure be a talking point on your workshop wall!
