Now that we're including a Dream Wagon here's a Dream (Jet engined) Truck "Waltzing Matilda" for Muz as I'm sure he mentioned in another forum that he had done a bit of trucking in his time. Created in 1978 it was the first truck in the world to exceed 200mph. Then between 1981 and '83 the truck was owned by Ray Kernaghan who featured it on the front cover of the album "Jet Set Country". Believe it or not, in the years that followed the truck ended up being put back into normal use somewhere here in 'Tassie'. From as recent as 2012 however there's been much interest in efforts being made to re-create the Australian Icon so we can only hope their dream comes to fruition. P.S. I took these pics at the opening meeting of a new Drag Strip at Tailem Bend in1979/80.
