Not sure if it was you or not. A white 1600 with a yellow number on the windscreen drove past us about 3:00 while we were getting the gearbox out of my boot for Bluerat? Were you out and about yesterday? Good to hear yas made it back without any 'major' problems. Thanks for the kind words about the suit If I had my way I'd wear shorts and a t-shirt to work each day but they seem to frown upon that

Nice to meet every one, shame we didnt have time to check out unreals Cedric but it was cool to see Deane'o's sweet 16, It sure does sound and look the part!! Hopefully we can drag him up the Coast for an event or two??
What did you think of the Classic Challange 510racer?? It looks like a top concept, and it sounds like your Mum had fun!! Whats the go with your rego? is it something like SI?? or just normal with a funny plate? You better post up some action photo's.....
So unreal does the badge make'uth the car?? I found that my 1600 went faster, handled better, was smoother and pull's a lot more looks from the ladies when I put my very fake SSS badges on, I hope the GT badges do the same for your mighty K have you heard of the very rare, and very expensive, 240K GT-HO?? No??

good one ricecutter! catch up with u soon!
yes bluerat i expect a great performance boost from my badges. i dont know about the '' HO " though. thats why they (240k) were badged GL in australia, because we have GT falcons and it might have seemed a bit of a joke to the public!

how are you going with the pulsar wombat?? i found some things that may be of use to you a few bolts out of random things round the engine. Ive nearly got my a14 in got to put oil in it but the throw out bearing in the bell housing has come off and jammed the clutch so i now have to pull the gearbox out to fix it. also had to belt the crap out of the floor to get the extractors to fit even now there hard up against the floor

Ive got every thing I need out of the Pulsar now and will start changing the sump and tidying up the engine in the next few days.
Im glad I got the disc brake rear out of the car as I had a bit more of a look at it and once the pads wear down to a certain point the caliper rubs on the rotor (like it is now) I will have to see if I can machine the caliper down a bit to stop this.
Good to see the wagon is almost up and running. be carefull if there is any carpet or any thing else on the floor near where the extractors are sitting you could catch the stuff on fire.
I will have to organise to grab those other bits & bolts some time.

Anybody on the Coast tommorow?? The final round of the NWCC's Black Tack series in on at Highcleare, south of Burnie and Ridgley. There will be several Datto's having a run, including Australia's Fastest L16 powered 200b!! and hopefully a very quick FJ20T 1600, L20 1200 coupe etc etc etc.........also a well known green Bluebird driver has gone over to the dark side and will be driving a Ford powered Clubman...hhmmm, can he beat his Dad?? Sadly a popular 200B SSS wont be there......anyway there is a great spectator point, with bus transport and the best food van in the State.
Other news is that a 3 round State Hillclimb Championship is well underway in the planning stages for 2008. The first round will be the LCCT's fantastic Lake Barrington climb, round two will be organised by the CMI and will be held at Baskerville, and the last round will be the NWCC's Highcleare event in December. All you need is a 2S licence and a car!!!
