Interesting video, of an interesting car - our family had one! But you really could do with a camera called a GIMBLE, you can walk round the car with - without the camera "shaking" - because it electronically compensates, giving a steady picture! Greetings from London.

Thank you great video

Great video , thank you

Thanks for sharing, loved the fireplace an' chimney.

Probably the 1498cc engine, the later models were 1622 and 1660 on the Wolseley and maybe also the MG magnetite. I’m not surprised it spluttered when you took it up to 85, these cars were not built for speed. Would sound better if you adjusted the valve clearances.

Points & plugs guys ? nice old car !

This was the car that seduced the middle class.

I find it remarkable that they drove for a considerable amount of time, yet never went on the highway. This tells me a lot about the roads in England. 🤭

Purifying clay too! Youre years ahead of me. I just decided to start.

Comfrey is also useful for breaking up compacted soil with it's deep root

Comfrey is edible, I batter the small leaves and fry them. They are not poisonous. It used to be used medically and big pharma took a very well known herbalist to court, my understanding is their evidence was bogus but they had the power to win the case and stopped herbalists being able use the tincture.

Hollywood won't be calling but thanks for the vid, cheers

I had a 1960 Series V Oxford Estate, bought when it was nine years old. A reliable if unexciting banger. Like all my old British cars (including an S3 Bentley, some Jags, and many Rovers), the ignition switch could be operated with anything that fitted in the slot - screwdrivers, hairpins … . While there *was* synchro on second gear, it was slow. The gearing was so low that I used first gear only if starting on the uphill. It went rather better when I installed an MBG twin-SU setup.

Lovely video, but I can tell by the sound of the engine it’s not firing quite right, is it running better now?

The sound of that non synchro first gear…Brings back memories of my Dads Magnette when I was a kid…Lovely example of an Early Farina Oxford👍

We all fancy Clancy's life, after all.

Good vid mate

Amazing what you can find on the big properties out west isn't it? I think the drier climate preserves them much better than the coastal areas. What a reminder of a different era. Probably made with hand tools by hard-working blokes that made things from necessity and improvisation. Imagine living and working isolated from the world like that? Would have thought they were kings. These days living like this would be regarded as cruelty ! Good find mate - imagine the stories if those walls could talk . . . Cheers, Gav

Wow Porsche 911 down bonnet

Good work mate; very thoughtful episode. Any sign of the mouse plague out Cobar way at the moment? Are you on holiday or working ? Cheers, Gav

The seats are adjustable

What were the leeches like on this trip mate?

Great idea to make a short edit, but you kept cutting yourself off mid-sentence! :D

If you want to know the cc of the engine look down the right side of the engine on the side where the carb is and towards the front of the block and you should see 15 there which would donote a 1500cc or if its 16 its got a 1600cc engine in it, I have just got one for restoration and that's had the mg lump put in it so mine has 18 there to denote that's its an 1800cc, I hope this helps 🤗

I use to live at "Razorback" Razorback Road Running Stream It was the first property on the left as you came up out of the valley 👍

Geeze you are a creative bloke - never thought about using our slow combustion fireplace to create pottery ! If you need more heat, perhaps as a one-off, try a small piece of coal. Many years ago I tried a very small piece of coal in our fireplace just as an experiment to see if it would burn. It was incredibly warm from a tiny piece - for very obvious reasons. We'd stayed at a pub the weekend before somewhere near Lithgow - it was the middle of winter and the pub actually had a proper coal fireplace. This fireplace had the entire pub toasty warm all night.

Great video Dan ! Did you get any trout while you were there? Cheers, Gav

Track looked a bit rough*not well defined) in places.

interesting lesson in patience .......................... Thanks!

The Barkly Tablelands have been my biggest land nav challenge. Black soils, Mitchell grass 360 degrees and absolutely NO topography to get a bearing for triangulation. And there's no surface water if you get it wrong. Teaches precision navigation pretty quickly, how to walk using your shadow, and just how important radio check in skeds are . . . Good vid Dan, and the ground truth followup vid was a great idea. Cheers, Gav

Brilliant stuff Dan - those big Seawind cats are great fun ! Living the life mate. We’ll be up there next year.

We have the lilac blue version at our place & it's going NUTS at the moment.

Hey Dan, please consider turning your phone to "landscape" orientation for these videos. I watch on my PC & it's really not doing them justice.

Looking forwards to see what you create mate.

Nice one Dan.

Looking good, spring is such a great time of year!
