riding around in style
I thought I'd seen pretty much everything.
Hydraulics or air bags? Now that's a suspension. Car shaped truck as opposed to the gmc 1500 truck shaped car I drive.

Good eye , One characteristic which sets the Watusi apart from the Texas Longhorn is the root diameter of the horns.Quote:

One night, early 70's on South Stradbroke Is a mate & I were attacked by horses & narrowly escaped to our 12 ft tinnie : they didn't follow us far into the water. We retrieved our surf rods and other stuff that hadn't been trampled the next day. Left us wary of night walking across the Island even for the alure of Tailer, Mullaway, Travelly and big Bream etc,. There is quick sand among the dunes but horses & cattle know where to & where not to drink.
Never heard of a Watusi before. Except for the song/dance.Quote:

That girl in the center is very cute.
watching that video makes one aware of how much has changed in 50 years. Apart from weddings ,I could count the number of times I've seen guys dancing wearing ties, on one hand. Maybe I have been to too many lower budget events.
Where is the safety leed in case of crash roll over or sudden stop? lolQuote:
