Paul, That is my favorite version of that song; you can't beat Johnny! Wolf, those roadtrains were amazing! I've never seen that before; good thing there outback with plenty of room to get around! Can you imagine trying to turn one of those things around?! |

That is upto 254 vehicles! He was also granted a Patent but didn't make a cent out of it!! Who was that do you reckon? |
