A remote Australian town seeks a doctor, offering a $400,000 salary and free rent

@oiltreader hmm, I might apply. I could promote myself as a gynecologist, don’t know much about it, but I’ll take a look for you. :rofl:

I don’t want to scare you but Geoffrey Carryfast is planning a grand tour of Australia, I will dispatch him around to your abode to save the money on the hotel bill for a few months, if that’s alright please let me know.

He will also require a seat in the passenger seat of your truck for a few month to see the country for free.

Please don’t mention engine braking criteria and physical forces, algorithms and formulas and don’t mention engine braking.

Short stroke bus engines in lorries too is a no no

We’re safe Ramone, Australia has already rejected Carryfast. We’ve got enough home grown bludgers, no need to import more.

Should that not deter our guest, I’ll turn up in a truck with a synchromesh gearbox which is (apparently) the Worst Idea Of All Time.

Be careful, Carry not so fast will get you to do manual labour to hand ball off 24 tons of tyres.

When did you last see a '70s D-series cab looking that good?

I haven’t watched the video yet, but the D Series looks like a Cummins powered jigger.

More then than now.
