    haha, where do I start! I have a 50 sign, huge roadworks ahead sign, detour sign, no left turn sign, stop sign and my prize sign... a speed camera sign! They are hard to get coz theres a speed camera car 100m back up the road with a dude in it!
    Oh and a BRADY RD street sign! Got that from out woop woop, was the only place I could get phone reception on the dirt roads!

    New years 2 years ago we borrowed a shopping trolley to put all the eskies in.....we ended up bringing it home coz it was like half filled with empties.....it just sat in the back yard for ages until oneday we thought it would be good to chuck a motor in coz it would be easy to move around......so now it's sitting out the back with the ol' 202 trimatic in it from my VK.

    Also got this......it's a sticker off a cop car bonnet

    Love your avatar. Officespace is a great movie.

    "PC Load Letter"? What the **** does that mean?


    I acquired a $2000 kincrome chest set. Govenrment left it out on a farm I was working on after a bad disease. With that also got a sweet high pressure cleaner that will lift bitumen.

    I woke up one sunday morn to find a white reflector post still with half of the dirt it was embedded in attached to it on my bedroom floor... the other half of the dirt was in my carpet A mate of mine yoinked one of those flashing yellow lights. He couldn't find a way to turn it off so it sat under his bed flashing for about a month!

    I remember when I was about 16 I used to collect all the old street signs that had fallen down. I had a few street names and stop signs, I never stole them though, people used to give them to me

    Its tempting to steal street signs when they make the names so amusing, like Gay Street and Black butt street lol

    The most stolen street sign in my home town was "Beer Ct". It was in a uni student area. They used all sorts of different bolt combos to keep it on.

    Lol my mates used to open up the map of town and then go "shopping"

    Well just so yous know, I "aquired" the sticker off the cop car legally ......I've already had a detective come around one night coz the local PD had a few complaints coz it was visable from the road....but yeah he just asked me to move it so it wasn't visable from the road and it was all apples!

    My mum's court made the paper once being the most stolen street sign in Vic. Nirvana ct (About 10 years ago). The sign got higher and higher untill they just gave up and painted it to a light pole. Don't think it has been stolen since.

    There's a street near me called bangaroo st. I don't think it really needs any explanation.
