In the 'general' area where I live, I
have access to some of the best fly fishing rivers anywhere in the
world. These places are almost completely unknown
to outsiders. No one ever talks about them much except for a handful
of aficcianados who have the money and the time to come all the way
out here to fish.

| Donnelly River |
Most of the year,
these places are extremely cold.

| Yep. This is Kentucky |
Well, hey, so's a
Kentucky fly river for that matter so what the heck!
Me, I
haven't actually fished
for real since my teens I suppose. I jumped pretty quickly from the
Marine Base jetty on Penang Island, catching smallish rock cod, to
the bowling green turf of Belmont Park (Western Australia) in order
to catch bigger fish with silver bait...
Anyways, I don't
believe Dick Cheney has ever fished the Donnelly River over in these
parts, but then again, I can't be sure about that.
It's
not much of an out-of-the-way item to have ex-SAS people and the
like, especially, these days, ex-South African BOS intelligence guys
– be handed meaningful budgets to organise high-speed road
transport of a 'standard' in order to ferry VIP's to parts
undisclosed, very quickly hither and yon, and then back again. From
what I understand, it is to
the Donnelly River area.

| Walkinshaw SS V8 Supercharged |
I must say, that
the choice of the latest Holden SS Walkinshaw – in all black – is
a great choice.
Someone
might be able to tell me whether this vehicle is some very direct
variant of a Chevrolet, or whether it is something predominantly
coming out of the Holden design bureau. The build quality is utterly
something I have never before seen on Holdens although they have not
been too bad recently. Yet this is exceptional. It is also very fast,
very handlable, very luxurious inside, and looks quite different in
real life compared to the pics available just yet. It is smaller than
the photos would suggest, lower to the ground, and the chrome looks
like, well, real chrome.
The sound is awesome. The look is brilliant.
Go this way...
