A lot of people think what we do to our cars is insane i agree with the quote it mightn't be what i like but they like it.

each to there own

now thats a great lil ute indeed,
trumps my old sticker collection...

Can anybody tell me what tyres that Ute is liable to be shod with ? cant find any Knobbly type tyres (of the correct size) here in England "MO"

We used to be able to get snow tread tyres over here but because not many people use 13 inch rims anymore they may be harder to get but you could always try some 14's or Peugeot 15's. I have seen them with irrigator tyres on the brumby/MV1800 they look identical to tractor tyres except smaller although apparently they don't work well on the front!

what you might want to do is get friendly with a local rally driver and steal a set of his dry weather tyres not exactly legal for the road but fun

and make sure he uses 13" or as Tex suggested "find" some Pug rims of the correct size

There's not much on that Brumby.

it only needs to have both side mirrors the inside becomes optional then you can take it out

OMG that's rippa.
Center right tail gate sticker "Carrathool Pub" not far from my home town Hay.
A customer was telling me the other day that a mate of his bought a 92 Brumby new and it had over 600,000ks on it last time he visited his mate, with original engine.
So look after ya Brum and it will look after you.

edit A bloke at work who I done my apprentiship with bought a 89 model in 91 with 70,000ks on it he sold it about 8 years ago with over 500,000 on it and it is still going up and down Taylors Arm Road today, on the original donk and the owner WONT sell it back to me mate.

Who would that be? My in-laws live at Taylors Arm and I'm quite often out there. There are numerous Brumby's that travel that road. All in various states of dis-repair

Gotta Love a good B&S ute. Now all it needs is a few RM Williams mudflaps and a flag on the UHF.
