Hey, Gang - this was Doc's original post.
I thought I had reposted this complete original post and when I went back, I had deleted
his complete original post.
James, I'm so sorry about that.
I missed the cut.
The rain came down in a big way when I had about 2hrs of daylight left yesterday, that was it. I couldn't put it on the truck because the drag link wasn't in, the drag link wasn't in because, the body hadn't at that point hadn't been secured,because I'd only just got the radius rods done.....you get the drift. This morning the sun came out....and here is where it stood....
I was going to Chopped tank or no tank....the countryside is green after the recent rain( did I mention the rain?)...
at one of the on ramps I saw Fat Steve heading on
..we traded places at a little bit over the limit for the next 30mins until I got to Castlemaine where I caught up with Simon and Jim-Bob...Simon has just had the 289 in his XM Falcon rebuilt, the boys were a little weary, worse for wear and tear....
then we got to the Chopped show, here's Ryan ,one of the co-props of Chopped's 32
there was all manner of stuff there, good bad and ugly( in no particular order)....I only stayed for an hour and a bit , I had to leave before I told anyone my Plymouth-weak sob story.... here's a quick selection of the turn up,
Ryan at the start of the dirt drags.....
the return road, I dunno but that Biscayne looks like it might be crabbing a bit.....
On the way home I rang Emu Ben to fill him in on the near miss, yes I was using the hands free, "so, what's goin' on?" he said......
"er, well right now I've got a cop on my clacker with his lights on and I'm fifteen over...."
turns out the cop was in a hurry to get somewhere else, he gave me a dirty look and took off as I pulled over....
I've got a gig this arvo, I have to go.....there's always next year.......
