Biglorryblog's loyal supporter down-under, 'AtkiPete' Lynch has sent me these shots from the recent Lake Goldsmith Rally and says: "Here's some more of what you missed! Cheers Pete." And what a classic collection too! Starting with this little C1300 International pick-up or as they call them in Oz...'Utes'. Well it's a 'beaut ute' is all I can say and not bad axle articulation either!
And here's another Vauxhall pick-up, after Clutchslip's recent posting from the Brighton Run. This Velox looks in immaculate nick. It must be all that sun and no salt on the roads!
More Internationals in what Pete describes as the "IH Camp". And for a real rare beast how about this one below...it's called a Fargo.
Was it a division of Dodge or a stand-alone manufacturer? Answers please anorak army...something for you Richard? Now click through here for a shot of Pete on the way home and a great mail box..or is it a DIY bollard? And that fargo does look a bit like a Dodge Kew or is it me...?
"Heading off" says Pete. Looks like it was a great day out in the sun. And this bit of DIY is certainly rather neat too..a mail box perhaps, or to take the papers?
As I recall, Fargo was always a Dodge brand.
Yes, it is just a brand used by Dodge, also they sold them as De Soto. "Badge engineering" was happening back then.
