Dufasdave Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hello all. I am Dave or Dufasdave and live, as per the topic title, in Australia. I live in a place called Rockhampton which is on the central Queensland coast (google map it ). Prior to this I was in Toowoomba which is about 1 1/2 hours inland of Brisbane (once again google map it). My occupation is a firefighter with Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, prior to that I worked on cars in several exhaust shops for 19 years. I have been car models on and off since I was about 14 years old. No real main themes just any cars/trucks/pickups that appeal to me. I have also done a few motorbikes. I will get some photos on this site when I can. Currently working on a 2009 Dodge Challenger and a 1966 Chevelle wagon. Getting together a few more for a local competition in Mackay (local!!! 3 hours away, google map it). Anyway, looks like a great site so I'll get some pics up when I can. Cheers.
