Trailer delivery show tonight, one night only! It’s a cringe scene from an old Seinfeld episode getting the big box squished between Docs brick gate posts and down the drive. He lives on a busy road so we block traffic for ages during two dozen reversing attempts (box trailer width 2.5 metres, leaning gate post gap 2.6 metres)… - the Rev yelling “…not that Left the other one.” - Goggs yelling “shut the F@#k up, I can’t hear Pete” - Some bloke in a hot Commadore squeals tyres, leans on air horns, yells “Bunch of F@#kin Wankers” - PJQ jack-knifes truck for the third time, yelling “I can’t F@#kin’ see the fence” - Neighbour kids gethered for the show think it’s hilarious. Oi-vey, here we go again.  |

The trailer is loaded, the car tied down. I have the trailer with parts, tools and camping gear packed....it's been a long day. I think I gave the neighbors a fright give it a bit of a rev in the drive, it sounds mad........We leave early tomorrow for the two day trip,eight hours a day. I might have access tomorrow night, otherwise it's ten days from now.adios  |

Reverend Hedgash reporting on the road with Grumms iPod doohickey. Heavy rain on Sunday filled the lake and we weren't able to get started until Tuesday afternoon. Weather good from then on. Lots of cars going over 200 mph but poor old Norm Hardinge had troubles again with his engine. Worse still his one good run the timing light didn't work and he thought he had the right revs for 200 so he will have to do it when he goes back to Bonneville this year.
Our story is both Goggles and I had ordinary first runs getting back into the drivers seat, with mine particularly bad upset by going into the wrong gear (!)
We had a few issues that Grumm sorted out and at the end of the day our best run was 193mph which was as fast as it would go before blowing a seagull report when we get back.
