Not sure if this is the right place to ask but... So summer is coming, which car to register one with top or no top?

(edited because too much info')

Take 5 of any car in that yard & make one good one.

For the record we don't actually meet IN the backyard bar, just in the car park.

 

Oh, and your 100% about the Morris Minor, I'm just too slack to fix it and hate drum brakes... (It's actually a really original straight as one lol)

Those drums get hot when stopping over 80MPH but you can get a disk kit now (never bought one though) That bar has a big guy to stop people getting in right?

Awesomeamazeboobs. Will see peeps at about 6:45!

 

Unfortunately it will not be in the Morris. As it is a piece of shit.

Not necessarily shit, just needs tinkering. (had heaps of them & regret selling them)

Not going because i have no idea where it is....  oh wait i know where the backyard bar is but still i'd be banned in like 1 minute.

Is the car in foreground of the ke35 picture a gemini?  That poor 76 they can be made into good cars if you spend enough time & money on them.

Blame clarkson.  He does that to lots of cars, look what he did to the hilux!

HIF44 may be too big and that the 1000cc motor may not be able to suck enough air to get it to perform properly at those higher rev numbers.

i think i had one of those carb's it has been a while so i am not sure of the numbers.  i got it to work but went smaller because high revs were fine but the low range was terrible? (not enough airflow?  i might be way off here)

Lucas alternator, old school kind.  On big wire to battery, the other little wire to the dash light which goes to the switch & from the switch the fuse box if i remember correctly.

Was looking forward to it, may be coming.  What is it?  follow the cool people to tavern, inspect & go surfing if the weather is terrible? (i am too dumb to figure out basic directions)

i did not go but

Wow. Rain. Pretty good turn out considering the weather!

 

We encountered an RX8 facing the wrong way on the motorway after somehow fucking up the onramp proceedure at St Lukes. That was interesting.

Done that, "Go under the bridge & take the first turn on the left"  Gets me on the motorway, the wrong way.

Had to

Course you can come. Providing you're not super weirdo spec...

 

You're going to have to be more specific about location of superminx

Extremely weirdo spec'.  This looks familiar, had to go on google streetveiw to find it

Cruise to Riverhead via Coatsville Riverhead highway. Better drive than quick trip up the motorway.

May i come too?

(Heard of a complete '66 superminx for sale up that way in a building that looks like a pale brown/cream coloured building with cars & boats outside it if anyone is keen to find it.)

There is nothing left on it worth saving anymore, most of the panels have rusted away,

What gearbox/engine/driveshaft does it have? i might have a driveshaft that needs modding but i want a stick shifter & 1200/a14/a15 (secretly huge fan of putting datsun engines in british cars) i save the stuff nobody else wants.

Dad files a little off the needle at a time until it is right, patience needed.  i stuffed needles messing with them so i no longer do that.

Nar it was dumpd in the bush, been there as long as i can rember. there is allsorts of old cars down there, use to beet on them with hammers when I was younger

For Free!  best price.  (only want parts really)

I found a 1977 datsun sedan the otherday, didn't have my camera, it was super rusty, the aluminum rocker cover even had holes

For sale?

Parts from oxfords & humbers? i want the whole things (+land with sheds to keep them on/in A.K.A not going to happen )

The website says 26th i have work that day.  Maybe they mean 25th in which case i still might not make it because of my cars being old.

Nuts,. i was made to fit new plates when i wanted to keep my black ones.. Can i change them back to black post vinning?

Spotted the crazytim wags in a taka car park, turned up and parked next to the maroon one, came back and the other one was on the other side of my viva haha.

Is the middle one the one that used to sit in a small lake/big pond hanging off the end of a wharf?

Those need to be rescued.  Sucks that someone has been jumping on the roofs (rooves?) but those can be fixed with a little ingenuity.

I've just sort of got into this stuff (not massively, and I have no idea what happens with electronics - according to me what happens is electricity goes in, magic happens, and sound comes out). I bought 2 old valve radios off of trademe for $20. The intention was to rip the insides out and replace them with the guts of a stereo so that I can play my iPod through it, and it would just look a bit more interesting than a standard iPod dock.

 

One was in too good shape to rip apart, so that one got restored as is (I should put some photos up later), and the other one is full of borer and in pretty bad shape, but a cooler old style of box, so I'm going to try and restore the box as best as I can and transplant a freebie stereo into it.

 

Anyway long story short, I've got a few (6-7ish?) old valves etc that you can have if you want.

Ha, i had a borer ridden case i installed a cassette player from a car in a few years back.  Did not know anyone was still doing that stuff.

return to normal broadcasting now.

Oversized rubber will shrink.  Probably made oversize so after it sits on a shelf in store a few years it will fit just fine.

My car was primer grey and people still looked/laughed. So I support this notion.

Was it an escort?  If so i thought it was alright.
