townsville has one of the country's largest Army Barracks and Depot not to mention a range as well. Many people who live there are soldiers or have some sort of involvment with the army, mind you i dont understand why its a rednecks car.

Cripes !!!

I had to have a look at this, being a Townsville boy born and bred. And am not too sure about all this taking the micky out of the AJ's..... yes I don't have fond memories of them. Having played rugby against those bastards : .

But when cyclone Althea struck in 71 (I think.... it gets harder to remember when you become a registered "old Fart") those lads where amoungst the first to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into it.

so I reckon Good Onya Lads
