Vehicle Graphics: Drill Stickers
The $3mil drill was almost not worth worrying about, some rego stickers on the rig. Took me 45 minutes to drive there and 10 minutes to do.
The Ford was for a good client who wanted something ‘outstanding’ but not too ‘different’ as he is very conservative. He asked me to remove the bonnet graphic in the end as he thought it was ‘over the top’.
Pity, it looked rather striking I thought.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing. -

Peter😛 😛 this is the baby drill too peter. I do its bigger brother next month.
They use this to drill the dynamite holes in the mines in far nth queensland. The climate controlled operators room consists of the leather chair with the console attached to it, He can spin 300 deg and everything swivels with him. Comes complete with microwave and fridge, so he can be self sufficient in the middle of the paddock.
They ship them out from germany and then modify them here for the aussie conditions (and Union Rules). Takes them about 3 months to turn them around before the mines can use them

what happens when the drill bit goes blunt?

I’m told you need deep pockets 😮
They tell me “If you have to worry about the price of a new drill bit, you shouldn’t have purchased the drill in the first place!”

listen Shane, i have enough problems convincing my wife that we cannot afford to go on holiday to oz, without you showing us photo’s like that.
I know if we went we would be able to visit you as well, but, sorry cannot afford it yet.
L JPS, can’t you find some normal photo’s, some where it’s miserable, cold & wet ?
-
sorry, duplicated post as it seemed to lock up?

It looks about the same here today Shane. 😀
I think we both live in the best place in the world. Beside the UK of course. 😉

Well since you asked….this is about 30 seconds ago.
-Marek -
LJ,
It’s been a horrible year for huricanes this year. Lots of damage..more to come from the looks of the latest one.
-Marek -
Sorry Shane, what I meant to say 3 posts ago was:
I really like the vehicle graphics. It’s a shame the customer took off the ones on the bonnet. Oh well, at least he let you put it on there so we could see how it looked.
-Marek -
nice work shane… 😀 i take it you charged accordingly, considering the miles you put in 😀 i do the same if its for a regular customer 😉
nik
(marek…easy seen you’ve been on holiday….your grass needs cut) 😉

Thanks for reminding me. 😀
I think I will wait until it’s waist deep.

John, we had rain today!!! 🙁 The Indy got washed out for a little while…. absolutely pelted down….. but by the time I could find my camera, the sky was blue again…. sorry…. :lol1:

if you are that sorry Shane, stop laughing.
Marek, if i didn’t know better i would have thought that was a picture taken in Wales, going by the type of house.

if it makes you feel better john, the forcast is for 4 days of thunderstorms here from tomorrow 😥 … and I have 3 days of outdside jobs 👿
Our summer storms are legendary unfortunately. Last week a freak storm passed over and pelted my dads car with hail. The damage was upsetting for my dad. The insurance company had so many phones calls it overloaded their switchboard.
Oh well, the down side of living in paradise 🙄

Hi Shane, I don’t think there is such a place as Paradise, we spent 5 weeks in Malaysia traveling from Kuala Lumpa all the way through the tea plantations heading north to Thailand stopping off at the most beautiful islands of Penang & Langkowi. This we thought was paradise, but look what happened a couple of years later, all that beautiful coastline wrecked by that Tsunami, all those thousands of very friendly people gone.
We have been to Florida 5 times in recent years also thought that was paradise but look what happens to them, seems to be one Hurricane after another.

I agree 100% mate, but Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast is considered ‘paradise’ by those that live and holiday here. Just like other tourist centres tho, I am sure nobody thinks it will happen to them… until it does of course.
There are very strong rumours that the Gold Coast will be targetted by terrorists in the not too distant future. They have a large muslim tourist base there now. You can’t let it rule your life tho I suppose. Life goes on. It may, of course, never happen, be it natural disasters or man made human misery.

just been looking on google earth for you, but p.o. box doesn’t help, is that because you work from home?
found your zoo though, on the map.

quote John Simpson:is that because you work from home?
L J
Yes John. Because I am out so often, I am not fussed about people calling in to home if I’m not there.
Funny thing tho, I get a lot of business on my web site from all areas of the united states, especially texas. Must be a Waterford there too.
William street Waterford is the street address.
On google earth you’ll see a shopping centre at Waterford near a big man made lake. We are the street away from that toward the Logan river.
It really is a small world now isn’t it 😛
-
sure is Shane. (Small World)
I will have another look on google earth.L J
-
John,
la soledad way oceanside, CA
If you zoom in close enough you can probably see my truck on the street.

right o Marek, 1 at a time, a bit slow at this time of night.

What’s your excuse for the rest of the day? :lol1:
I was amazed to see how good of a photo they got of my street. Some areas of California (Staples Center in Los Angeles for example) you can see people walking on the street.
-Marek -
Marek, you can tell this program is American, it’s easy using the search for your place but having trouble finding Shane as the search doesn’t work in any other country.

John I am looking at a White truck in the middle of the street and a red one parked a few doors down… i guess this is it
-
just found legoland Marek, how long does it take to get to work?
L J
just realised the time, I’m off to bed, nite nite.
-
oops
-
I work at 6 in the morning so only about 15 minutes. It takes about 20-25 to get home in the afternoon. (usually 25 when I stop for some beer).
Dave, I’m a few houses down from the red truck, same side of the road.
I think Google Earth is scary. Just imagine what the goverment sees. 😮

Your right John. Only way I find me is follow the M1 up from the coast.
Have not looked for a while, so can not give you the cordinates, sorry.
This is the storm I was telling you about. Just started a few minutes ago,
In the picture, I’m in Logan. We are on the leading edge. Just had news flashes that damaging hail is expected, and I can not get my new vito undercover at the moment 😥 Oh well, what are insurance companies for anyway. Only good thing is that Logan is not in the ‘hail belt’ usually. Time will tell I suppose
