Thanks guys. Jason, that was just dust spots from when it was out in the rain for a few minutes a couple of weeks back. It was undercover under the house where it had been since last weekend. I'll have a look at the dizzy and give it a clean out. I also have a new dizzy cap at home so I might chuck that on too. Yeah I think fuel pick up is stock. I'll check that out tonight Roberto, I was wondering that too. I do have a spare 2nd hand unit at home so I might swap that in and keep the current one in the glovebox just incase. I assume you can't buy the modules new? What do you do to replace, go after market ignition module? I guess there is no way to test it if it is currently working fine?

Yeah worst spot, only 400 metres from my exit too! A few people came up behind me at speed which was a bit hairy but then I noticed the closed lane sign change after about 30-60 seconds and speed was slowed to 40 around me. A guy came out with a hazard truck after maybe 10 minutes but the tunnels own tow truck was out of action so they called a tow company to come and get me. Ended up taking about 30 mins to get the tow truck there (he said they didn't tell him exactly where I was and told him wrong information so he was looking in the wrong spot). But anyway just took it for a drive and it ran fine, filled it up and it took 24 litres so still had about half a tank. It's a l26 (in a 240z), with round top su carbs and the 280zx electric dizzy. I hate not being able to drive it with confidence :-\

So I broke down in the clem 7 this morning Was driving fine, hit the slight incline and I was overtaking some people and then lost power and came to a stop. Car would wind over but wouldn't start, tried it again after waiting for about 20 minutes and still nothing. Got a tow to work and had the car off the truck and kicked it over and it started fine. I'm assuming fuel but I'm pretty sure there is at least half a tank of fuel and filter looks fairly clean (I will replace though), anything else I can look at? Just don't want to break down in peak hour again if it is an intermittent problem.

I have a photoshoot on that day unfortunately usually a pretty big day with plenty of cars, check out photos from last year here http://shaun-maluga.com/racq-motorfest-2013-photos/

Yes please. It looks like you are in Brisbane? I am too so can pickup

I just booked tickets this week to go down and photograph!

With the right designed car this would look good. I have been thinking about something down these lines lately. Imagine a car designed by Mad Max after he spent days looking through speed hunters. Then you can make something like this work I reckon Not everyones cup of tea but something different to the flares and lip spoiler builds you see everywhere (not that there is anything wrong with that )

Ah damn I'm away for this!!! It's always a good casual day.

Very cool, you can watch the proper video here: http://www.cartorquetv.com.au/#!stories/c22q2 Worst tv show name to try and google btw

Yeah it was a pretty good turnout especially considering the rainy day Alan please pass the link along to Steve & Susie. I was thinking about getting something printed for them too, not sure what maybe a set of 3 pictures framed for her?

Hi guys, photos up here: http://shaun-maluga.com/suzie/

Good job Alan organizing this for Susie, and great to see so many cars considering the rain. I definitely got a couple of pics off today, I will endeavour to get these uploaded as soon as possible for everyone. For now here is one of Susie in Alan's car just before taking off for a spin.

Great work Alan, I have something else booked in for Sunday but I'm going to try and make it. Will you still be going ahead if it is bucketing down rain?

Hey bit of late notice but I have a spare ticket to the drive in tonight. Fuel Magazine is putting on Snake & Mongoose. See here for details: http://www.fuel-press.com/snake-and-mongoose/ If you want to come let me know!

Thanks Alan, I have just forwarded onto him.

I have a friend looking for a 1600 or 2000 sports convertible. Ideally in registrable or close to registrable condition as he doesn't have the budget for a show quality car but I guess any condition would be considered. Please pm me details such as cost and photos or contact details for anyone you know looking to sell! His location is near Coffs Harbour but will obviously freight/drive the right car if need be. Cheers Shaun

Nice photos George!

Ok so here is a sneak peek of a draft I'm working on. Unfortunately I have a back log of other work to catch up on so you will have to wait a little for the rest

Haha yep it's booked in and coming, I didn't bring it last year because I had something else on, can't remember what now but it must have been important!

I'm coming too, I'll be the guy looking lame with his camera and Rocky Auto shirt on

On the way to the airport now so soon... Ish!

I'm glowing all kinds of colours, Japan is awesome! I bought this today with 50% off...

Thanks guys. Just got back! Only checked out rocky auto as the gf also let me go to the Ferrari museums in Italy and I don't want to push it too far haha Guy was really nice, showed me a car they're working on ATM and popped the hood on a couple and started them for me the famous carbon fibre car wasnt there but the gold and silver one that has been making the rounds lately was. Some very nice cars and some very Rusty ones too! All the people here have been lovely, had quite a few people laughing at us asleep on the train. I'll post plenty of pics when I get back (although only had a little canon g1x to shoot with)

Turns out you should "book in" before going. They were all booked out tomorrow but I'm booked in for 4pm on Monday I hope they don't think I want to buy a car :s

Hi guys, I'm heading to rocky auto either tomorrow or Monday. Ideally tomorrow. Anyone know if it would be open on a Sunday?
