Hi Gav

 

Thanks for posting, I was a huge Brock fan back in the 80's.

 

Cheers

Disagree. I thought it was rubbish. Not one reference to driving the mighty Volvo 850.

I had completely forgotten about that car.

Interesting how the reporting of history often overlooks things that don't exactly algn with the folklore.

The Brock Fords is another example.

I think it was really a segment around the Holden's more so than other cars, so yes it wasn't the complete story but it was still interesting and I still enjoyed the bit of history.

its no 850 but still OK to look at. A Volvo wagon that's not a shoe box on wheels

[PeterAllen]

.. a shoe box on wheels

 

A shoe box on wheel... you can bring those roll bars back right now.

 

I'm hoping to have a new car this week and sadly the mighty 850 will have to go, it has been a champion workhorse.

ColinFurze is awesome for crazy engineering ideas.

Father and Son - 260z restoration project.

 

 

After a long wait (about 11 months) there are 3 new videos in this series. Video #60 is particularly interesting as it details how 'Dad' re-dyed the plastic interior panels.

Geographic restrictions . Hopefully someone will upload to Youtube.

wouldnt the employee of the all knowing all powerful internet super company know how to get around geo restrictions?

Or is that a big no no in your contract

[gav240z]

I have ways to do it for Youtube content, for History Channel I can play with some proxies etc.. But it's a massive hassle at the best of times. I'm sure someone will put it on Youtube soon enough .

 

*Edit just tried, but on top of Geo restriction they make you sign into a TV provider to verify you are a paid TV member. I am not so cannot get past that verification step ;(.

I'm working on it... Uploading to YT soon.

Watched it last night, Funny episode. The POS 240z they have never really runs so it's hardly used at all.

[C.A.R.]

I've had an upload error. I'll try again tonight.

[gav240z]

A bit fluffy but a big collection.

This is probably the best petrolicious video in my opinion. If you can wait till 6:20mins of the video you won't regret it.

I find some of the Eastwood videos very informative. This one is one of them.
