I noticed a sign of the times today when there were eight customer's mowers outside a mower servicing shop and all had Briggs & Stratton motors bar one Hondah.
With Briggs takeover of Victa and stupid Aussie consumers, Briggs have a virtual monopoly in Australia's domestic mower market, and it's owned by foreigners from the U.S. Their engines will become more and more disposable and cheaply built to last only a pre determined time, something U.S manufactures have become specialists at.
It's all really sad -and boring.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
