Slim,
I think they talk in "code". They know but we are just along for the ride.

I heard a story where someone was in a supermarket and heard the checkout chick ask for a " price check on a angel grinder..."

It made me think of a about seven ideas for a painting.

And for accuracy sake I think that chimney was weatherstruck, not tuck pointed...

...I will be fitting a Holden talisman to ward off evil Ford spirits...

I'll be sure to wear Ford undies for the trip (was born to a Ford drivin' family) classy ride by the way, thoroughly approved!

The old Troopy has velour seats and they've survived half a dozen SpeedWeek poundings.
Gota chat about trailer logistics... old Troopy is sucking H20 into the sump oil, I don't think it would go cross town with the trailer hooked up. Hoping it's only a head gasket, but the volume has me thinking worse case scenario.

Cracked block? only thing worse than that is a blocked crack......

Is it in Brunnie? if so I'll grab it the night before, with your stuff and you can mosey the next morning.

Which day?
The next one.

Oh good, I was afraid I missed it. Back to the festivities......

You'd fit right in here.... :roll:

I picked up the F-Truck and dropped in to see Wayne Mumford the owner/builder of the Wazavudu....



had a great chat with him , he won't make no the salt this year. He's got a little 500cc Kubota with a blower and a turbo that he's planning on working up for the little tank too,for the time being though it has a MR2 motor in it, great guy, great stuff.

The F100 is spot on, really straight, drives well at highway speed, sounds fantastic, two spares, heaps of fuel, just the job.

Do you have a picture of the Ford?  Just wondering if they are the same as the ones here, except for the side the driver is on?

from a few pages back Bo.



The Colonel spent the whole day wiring. I made the push bar, fitted the heat shield for the starter-motor , bled up the clutch and started sorting through the gear and crap we have to take with us.

It don't feel very sorted right now

Make "The List", and then before you start checking anything off, check each sub-system, walk around the car, dig through, clean and organize the shed - you'll be surprised what pops up - check out the nooks and crannies, go through the tool box, and write anything down.  Go through your pictures from last time - both of your car and the other racers - and remind yourself of what you're going to need.

Then start checking off the list.

You're going to be fine, AND you're going to go faster than you ever have before.

Please repost this to me during the last week of July.  :wink:
