Farwell Big Ears
15th to 25th September 2024
That’s it, it’s over. After nearly six years, our relationship with Big Ears has come to an end. We found him a new home and wished him well as he drove away on the 25th September with his new owners to his new home in the Northern Territory.
Over the years Big Ears has taken us to places a lesser vehicle would have refused to go, most of the time towing Chunky Bum. He has carried our supplies; food, water, toilet paper, kayaks, camping kit and yes, the occasional bottle of booze, and has kept it all safe, secure and in some cases, icy cold. (Usually, the booze not the toilet paper).
We have treated him well, for the most part, and any little ding was fixed up quickly to bring him back to his optimal good looks.
He has only let us down twice, and the second time wasn’t even his fault, so he owes us nothing and has given us six years of travelling adventure and wonderful memories. So, without further ado, lets have a little trip down memory lane with a 2 minute video, sound on if you like, as we say a fond farewell to Big Ears, so named because of his oversized wing mirrors that stuck out like…well, big ears.
I’m having trouble with the video so I am trying something new. I’ve uploaded it to YouTube, which I’ve never used before, but it should work if you click below.
If it doesn’t work, enjoy the slide show below.
One thing’s for sure, Arni has big wheels to fill.
See you out there somewhere
On tow and on the go!

I know, but I’m sure Arnie’s going to pull his weight…and Chunky Bum’s, of course.

Lovely tribute to Big Ears. I hope he likes his new home in the Northern Territory. Perhaps you can go and visit him sometime. 🙃😁
