Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I was trolling down the streets looking for F&P washing machines the other day and.....

some r@tbag had already scavenged a motor!

Whats the world coming to when you cant even scrounge for broken washing machines without someone invading your turf.

I know the feeling. I used to visit a local electrical repair shop once a month and go through their junk pile for the F&P motors. Then one day I dropped in to find out someone had beaten me to it. All the motors had been taken the day before by soneone what wanted them for a windmill!

I just cant believe my luck.....

I went to the dentist today for a quick filling $248 !!!

came outside 20 mins after I walked in and there on the footpath in front of me was an F&P washing machine.

that makes it 7 in the month or two I've been looking and three in the last week.

I'm going to need a lot of windmills!!!

Praise be to the Tooth Fairy!

As they say in the classics You cant beat Bad Luck the world is full of it.
If it wasnt for bad luck there would be very little luck at all.
