It's great that you love this machine.

I must say, there is something very calming about the muffled sound
of a Victa Special exhaust note. This mower oozes Australia.

A sashay with tinnie and sheroot would have looked pretty classy...
and the neighbours would have had to have bought your tomato seedlings
before they could grow them and produce tomatoes, so they could throw at you -
in envy of your iconic mower and mowing conquest. The irony.

Cheers - great story - great photos - tidy front lawn.
