·Yeah, but a cow would not willingly swallow a magnet by itself. You have to use a special gun and jam it into the throat of a cow and push the magnet down.

·Driving my dad's Cortina Mk3 was an exercise in herding cows. "Left a bit, left! Nooo, not that much, right, RIGHT...". So I can see the attraction for cows.
It was a TC series Cortina the equivalent model it the UK was a MK 3 they looked much same but Ford Oz re-engineered the design to suit local conditions and to include 3.3 and 4.1 litre inline 6 cylinder engines

Most of it seems to be plastic, it's origin not always identifiable, but plastic from packaging, bag etc. bits of poly irrigation pipe, man made fibre like nylon rope. Leather oddly enough.
You have to be careful what you leave in the paddock as the buggers will investigate everything they are very curios.
Of course rubbish getting blown in is a problem as is arseholes dumping stuff on your land.

He was in a rush to get to work at Western General and attempted to undertake a tram down Gordon street near the old defence facility.
Unfortunatley he cut it too close and punched the corner of a parked car as he shot out in front of the tram.
Damage to the Cortina? About $50 for paint scratches and bumper replacement.
Damage to the Honda Prelude 4WS? About $15+K.
Those Cortina sixes were tough stuff.

·Now that is a rolex I would like. Muted the vid and skimmed ahead to the actual opening. No real need for the guys mug in the thing. These things are more and more for entertaining clicks. Would be interesting to see the actual restoration. That though is likely to be boring and time consuming as it can take weeks in the pickel and pentrating oils. Doubt much of the iron can be saved. Most likely the movement would be swapped. This one might look good in a block of acrylic, as a paperweight.
