^ that is some serious porn, can't put that on the front page!  ;D

How bout a person, like Len Brennon, Gordon or an article on Newman's Z racing career.
I used to drive a Z but more often than not she is sideways so now I drive an N ;]

Gav,
What about a feature including info on how to's, with plenty of pics...I'd be happy to oblige with what's been done to mine and can include the new one I'm doing which is 90% there...just a thought, check out my webpage build to get an idea of what I mean.
Rev.

Sounds like a great idea, just checked out your website also and it looks fantastic. I think we should also feature your car Rev. We need another DIY car.

What about a feature engine rebuild?  :-X

Sure I think our members would enjoy that and it would be a great article. We should include that pic of your mug too :).

I like those ideas too, I'd have to do a bit of research for something on Newman's Z. I assume you mean Paul Newman yes?

Gordon? Sorry you might have to fill me in here. Do you mean Craig's brother?

Len - yes I know Len quite well. I'm sure he would be happy to do that, but last I heard someone hit into his baby and he was repairing it.

Looking for a new car to grace the front page and make it interesting again. Any volunteers? I've got Mr Bond working on an article for his race car, any other volunteers?

@Sulio any luck getting those Hybridz cars and details?

I'm working on automating the process to make it easier, but for now the easiest way to give me details is via email.

Feel free to PM me or send me an email at gavindoolan@gmail.com

Gav,

I should have some suitable photos of mine in mid November from Lakeside and Noosa and can put something together on my racer, built to different specs than Shane's, for different rules 2b Marque Sports rather than his much freer Targa spec and a lot more freedoms than the Historic Group Sc boys.

We now have a form where you can submit the details of your ride to be included on our homepage as a member ride of the month.

http://www.viczcar.com/node/add/member-ride

It is still very much in testing and will likely undergo some changes to improve it and make it easier. However its far better than what we had before.

Let me know if you submit an article / have problems.
