  1. Plenty of ground clearance is a good thing on a big old car though.
  2. Got any "residents parking only"?
  3. Remember those. Back when Bathurst was real. Think one DNF one year cos they broke a headlight and sucked glass into the low level air scoop. Design disaster thread material right there.
  4. Thinking right outside the square here but have you considered a Unimog or something of that nature?
  5. Reckon I could find a thing or to for it to sort out too if you're serious. Bit wet just at the moment though.
  6. Cool. Doesn't even make the other house look silly. How will you do the join between the old concrete tiles and what I assume is decramastic or similar on yours?
  7. Perhaps there is another common species that is a good substitute.
  8. An old geezer once told me that monkey skin makes excellent fuel pump diaphragms. Reckoned an Arab trader in West Africa told him that when he was working for an oil company over there.
  9. Fucking German spelling with a K.
  10. High top just looks weird to me beside normal Combi. Must be getting old. I can remember when there were shitloads of these things getting around.
  11. Just seen this in the Man-cave thread. Looks good. Colour reminds me of a Matchbox model from childhood. There's one on the tard right now. http://www.trademe.co.nz/toys-models/die-casts/matchbox/1970+/auction-1375176090.htm
  12. What's dubious about driving a Marina fast? Grandpa's one went pretty hard back in the day.
  13. I'd love to hear one pulling 7000 rpm. An old geezer in ragtop XJS went through a worksite I was on once and nailed the gas at the works end sign. Such a sweet noise.
  14. Based on that I should have got a cert on my Civic when I swapped the factory 12" steel rims for 13" steels from a slightly later car.
  15. I believe new galvanised chassis are available ex UK, probably stupidly expensive though.
  16. Those Cromodora mags look very cool. A lot like Bathurst Globes.
  17. Is xafordgod still on the tard? Think his real name is Brendan. From Rangiora. Use to have all sorts of different coons and coon stuff. XE might be too new for him though. Also Hinds Garage (at Hinds in South Canterbury obviously) has a lot of obscure shit that might be hard to find anywhere else. Mostly British but I've seen some coon stuff there. The place is like a cross between a hoarder's house and a museum but everything is for sale.
  18. I have no fucking idea what that last question was about.
  19. Saving for Hanmeet. Anyone else from down this way keen on that one?
  20. Anyone know how to make that fermented horse milk stuff they drink in Mongolia? Guess any kind of mammal milk would do.
