My wife's Laser was hard to start for some months. Once started it ran fine. The problem was thought by many to be fuel related but eventually turned out to be a faulty ignition module.

I'm keen. Usually go. Saturday or Sunday?

Yep. Keep meaning to photograph it but haven't yet.

Yes. Do you know it?

Utes have factory limited slip centers

Pretty sure my wagon does too. Looked like it when little big girl was practicing hill starts on gravel.

Mattress in the back for sleeping works just fine in a wagon too. I bought a wagon cos it has all the passenger capacity of a sedan and can also do most of what I'd use a ute for if I had one.

Love this. Perfect family wagon. Is a clear coat to protect the patina worth considering or would it just look wrong/spoil it?

My wife doesn't quite believe me when I tell her Falcon was introduced for the '60 model year as Ford's new small car alongside the full size Fairlane/Galaxie range.

Have a yarn to @yoeddynz.

Sweet Combi for all the VW foamers. Pukeuri Thursday arvo.

Crap picture of a tidy HQ Premier that caught up to me on the Rongahere road and finally passed me on the Qtown side of Roxburgh. Had plenty of opportunities to pass before there. Can't have been in a hurry.

Random Falcon at the servo.

I keep seeing a white Triumph estate with a number plate beginning DM. Often between Mosgiel and 'clutha. Does that belong to someone on here?

Recent Dunedin spots.

You're a wizard. Wish I had half your talent.

Yeah, good save. Crazy low though. Does it belly out on speed humps?

Back in the early '90s (pre cert days?) a guy I knew had racing harnesses in his T Bucket. Every wof he was questioned about them. Think he ended up carrying the relevant paperwork in the car all the time just in case. 

A mate from school made a serious attempt to put a 302 Cleveland and, I think, a C4 into a Humber 80 once upon a time. Almost made it work then gave up and put it into a Mk4 Zephyr instead. 

Mk2 Zephyr, or possibly Consul but I don't think so, and FB or EK Holden.

FWD transverse straight 6 in these

Yep. Grandfather had one back in the day. Traded a Mk3 Zodiac for a manual Tasman then a year or so later traded that for an auto Kimberley. Reckoned they're good for an honest 100 mph. All down hill from there though. Two Allegros then a Civic which I've still got. 

That actually looks not too bad. What's it like underneath?

I couldn't see those either. Same circle and line hieroglyph.
