Crocs ya say? Are they fair game as well?
BMK, Erich is third year at UofM. I understand a mutual friend's son is first year at ATM ( Texas ). The rest of us are good. Still working to survive. Good to hear you are doing well.
How would I get all that meat home???
Problem is, they wouldn't let me leave. I'll have to do something and get kicked out.

I've got a few friends that have hunted Buffalo in the Northern Territory. There are also a lot of wild cattle up there that are fair game. You'll find scrub bulls weighing more than 600kg (1300pounds).
You need something fairly substantial to knock them over. A .338 weatherby magnum or the like.
There's companies up there that run safaris to hunt buffalo and scrub cattle. Could be an interesting holiday.
Cheers

Something heavy to knock them over... 
Have you forgotten that those guys over there carry something heavy to go and get the milk and bread from the store..

A couple of years ago I was on a Barra fishing trip in the far north, we came around a bend in the river to see a croc dragging a water buffalo across the river and up the bank on the other side, the buffalo was not a little one, but the croc made it look very small.
The croc we guessed at well over 5 metres.

Chasing photos!!!
Hey Guys ,
I'm chasing some pictures of MIKE MOORES satanic black cobra last seen tearing apart at 260+k's on the runway at one of the last West Wyalong Nationals if not the last one up there...
For those that were there you'll surely remember it and the controversy it stirred up.
Any way guys please have a dig around if you think you may have some !!!
Thanks in advance Paul |

We have been chasing them Bernie,i see mike regulary and we always talk of the car but we have no pic's of it, of course you have the horsepower part of the car .
I actually thought you may have had some,for some reason i have heaps of all the other cars from that year bar Mike's car guess we were to busy mucking around with it at the time!!
I just hope there are some pic's tucked away in someones album..So a call again to the West Wyalong pilgrams for photos of that year!!!
Would you recall what year that was Bernie????
None of my pic's are dated!!!
Regards Paul

I am not sure of the year but is over 10 years ago as I was at the Western Beach home with the engine in the garage on a stand.

Sorry We Missed You at the Nationals Bernie
Unfortunately, my car wasn't ready this time, so we didn't end up getting to the Nationals until the Sunday morning. I don't know if you turned up this year Bernie, but I will definately be there for the duration in 2010 and looking forward to your company again.

I made a quick run up Thursday arriving just prior to the lunch break and stayed until lunch Friday.
 .. 
It was good to catch up with everyone there.
There were a few GT40's there both competing and parked in the garages, so I managed to get a few photos and speak with some owners.
Yes look forward to 2010. Be good to catch up and see the Cobra in the flesh so to speak...
It looks great.

HHmmm, me & my mates do a bit of hunting. Boars, Scrub bulls, buff, dingos & anything that is feral is fair game. We don't use guns though. The old bow is plenty powerful enough.
I was going to insert some pics here but I better not. If you want some pics let me know
Don't worry about crocs, I'll save you!!

Mike's RAT Cobra
OZCOBRA, I have a shot or two of Mike's rat Cobra if your still looking. They might only be during the show in the motel ground's. I'll see what i have and scan them for you.
As for the year, i reckon '96 or '97. With the Maroon car he ran the top speed of 240 k's at WW1in '95, I'm sure he brought the car in Maroon again for WW2 - '96, so I think '97 was when he brought the rat. It generated some angst among the organiser's, especially when it flew to bits on the runway run and left a black scar up the side of his helmet. Cop's also had a few words with him when they found him 'testing' it in the back streets after completing it in the motel room.
