  1. How's the precipitation been up your way Robert?
  2. Is it a Spear and Jackson #3?
  3. I think you are seriously underestimating the maturity of the active members on this forum. +1 for BBQ at PB's.
  4. I should have purchased one of these for you when I was in Houston.
  5. Many thanks. i need to dismantle half my car to get at them! Thanks also for the offer but I need to create bespoke stops for my set-up.
  6. Can anyone advise on the dia & pitch of the threads on these? Thanks. https://zcarsource.com/hood-height-adjuster-240z-260z-280z-280zx-70-83-new

  8. From a time when men drove cars. Compare that to on-track computers raced today.
  9. Mr Allen, to you. (edit) It's a joke, Joyce.
  10. Your comment was about cars which have 'Ferrari' on the bonnet. https://vimeo.com/194912950 - click on the blue rectangle. Alan, I've just been watching Max Stewart's F5000 Lola run around Goodwood in the snow!
  11. "You,me, carpark NOW."
  12. Max Stewart - Mildren Waggott P.S. My Bolwell has a Waggott in the front!
  13. Mick. 4,200 km plus and I didn't even lift the bonnet. Nothing broke, fell off or was nicked, and not a drop of rain. I was most impressed with 7.8 ltrs/100km fuel consumption - The overdrive 6th speed, 26" dia rear tyres and tall diff had it doing 115km/h at 1400 revs. Followed Jeff's suggestion and dropped in at the Zeehan museum - wonderful stuff. The highlight (for me) was visiting Longford and driving on what remains of the old circuit. Long-haired, young whipper snappers like yourself weren't even a glint in your father's eye when the circuit closed.
  14. Caught up with Mick. Two Zeds = 11.4 ltrs and near 800 hp I'd suggest. Ideal for touring Tassie.
  15. Have you researched all the RMS requirements for such a build? I'm guessing you'll have to upgrade the brakes, including the M/C, and run the anti-pollution gear that was originally fitted to the engine. The requirements seem to be constantly changing these days. Actually fitting the engine and drivetrain is about 10% on what is required to have a car on the road. If you are happy to go ahead after this research, engage an engineer before you start so you'll know what he/she will accept at a final presentation.
  16. The book Elwood, the book!
  17. My 'Classic Car' rego is $45 a year, including green slip. I'm not sure if 'Historic' plates are the same but I would suspect so. The story I was told is that there have never been any claims on CTP of 'Classic' ('Historic'?) registered drivers and therefore no need to charge. Needs confirmation...
  18. Why not 'Historic' plates? Do you actually use it more than 60 days a year?
  19. Thanks for the offer. It's for sale, not an auction, so there is no time limit other than someone getting in before me. It doesn't appear they've been rushed with takers. I'd like to inspect it first and make a low offer and see where we go from there. Gary. I've never been on a jury and was curious to experience it. Never again, as exciting as lawn bowls. Lots of adjournments while they argue legal matters but we're usually let out too late from these for me to make it home and then to Smithfield. The extra money will come in handy. So far I have enough for a new bellhousing for the Bolwell. Another couple of weeks and I'll be able to buy the triple webers! Suck on that you long-haired Gen whatever...
  20. I'm two weeks into jury duty and it looks like there is another week or two involved. I'd like to purchase a space-saver wheel, which is on eBay, from a wreckers at Smithfield but they only operate Mon-Fri. I'd ideally like someone to first look at the wheel and then procure it, if it is a described. I could drop around that evening and collect it. If you could assist, would you PM me to work out payment and timing. Thanks.

  22. Doesn't the bonnet release mechanism work?
  23. WHAT... a whole bottle? You were had.
