  1. My eldest reckons his twin turbo six cylinder Soarer goes harder than the V8 ones.
  2. Lots of cool OS aircraft in some of those hangars too.
  3. You on the aerodrome Neal? If you see a big blonde guy in a pale goldy coloured Toyota Soarer coupe that'll probably be my son. He's an instructor there.
  4. Many would say what you have done to this car is an act of sacrilege. I am not one of them.
  5. Needs a flame job to go with the matt black mate. Be true perfection.
  6. My manual S model EA wags got 14 mpg towing a big double float empty from 'clutha to Colac Bay and returning with a cow onboard which I thought was not too bad.

    3.5L Rover V8

    Mate has a Triumph 2500 running a 3.5 V8 with big Holley carb on it. Reckons it goes like shit off a shovel.
  8. Workmate's 302W XD sedan gets around 25 mpg just as a comparison. My 4.1 XC wags used to do 22 mpg.
  9. Does this attract enormous numbers of bees etc looking for a free feed? I ask because my wife has bee hives and I'm not keen on having the little fuckers invade my workshop area.
  10. Is that the good old 302 Windsor? I've been reliably informed that putting 289 heads on a 302 block ups the compression by a useful amount.
  11. We remove the back seat from the work cars to dodge FBT. It has never been an issue at wof time.
  12. My fixed wing pilot son says all helicopter pilots are insane.
  13. Glad you're still alive and feeling ready to get back into your project. Love that piece of descriptive writing.
  14. You must have gone right past my place. Or at least past the end of my road.
  15. Our real farmer neighbour has an L200 from the early '80s. It hasn't been legal since the '90s but it always starts, goes, and stops as and when required.
  16. Did you go down the Catlins road or stick to the State Highway?
  17. Road was all sweet today Pete. More rainy and yuck than frozen. Was pretty shit at the start of the week though. Still frost grit everywhere so be at least a little bit sensible.
  18. Scenic route from Dunners to Invers. Turn left off SH1 at Balclutha by the Ford garage.
  19. You coming down Catlins way Pete? Call in for a cuppa / beer whatever if you're passing.
