The 250cc learner limit with no corresponding hp limit was bollocks too though. I seem to remember a 250 2 stroke from the old days that was good for 300 km/hr straight out of the box. TZR? Anyone else know?

When you back out of the garage and drive away then have to stop a mile down the road to scrape off the ice that just formed then it is cold.

Only if first registered after December 1951.

Anyone else remember the forward facing blue roof light when towing rule?

Where in the world are you then?

When did high stop lights become compulsory as a retro-fit on old cars? I remember when they were first a thing in NZ in the early '80s all the talk was about how all new cars had to have them.

My boy loves his Soarer. Haven't driven it myself cos his insurance is named drivers only but I'm keen to try it out on a closed road or the aerodrome and see what it can pull.

Can't beat the look of a real unrestored survivor. Seen a few getting around here in the South. Examples that come to mind are a one owner '60 Fairlane 500 with 300,000 miles on the clock and it looked like it, and a '27 Dodge Brothers 4 that was sold new in Balclutha and lives in Milton so still localish and a bit rough so the old geezer just drives it dodgy. Good to see the progress you're making Alex. You're a wizard mate.

FUN TOP!!

Possum shooting car mate.

Think there was a Dennis on the tard last week.

Old coon wags? Shit loads of room and not real bad fuel consumption. I got 14 mpg out of my manual EA towing a double horse float. Around 22 mpg normal use / family cruising. 

Do you really need the added complexity of four wheel drive.

Yes, get the whole car. You can never have too many spare parts.

Is there any real difference between HB Torana and HB Viva apart from the badges?

After Christmas works better for me too. Might actually be able to make it to an OS event for the first time.

My eldest reckons his twin turbo six cylinder Soarer goes harder than the V8 ones.

A fucked one?

It's almost OS. Think we can allow it. Love the plate.

I prefer frugal Al.

Most expensive car I ever bought was 6k. Six year old 1100 powered Mini when I was 19. Went bloody hard for what it was. Would trade again.

Lots of cool OS aircraft in some of those hangars too.

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.

Every OSer needs a tractor. With a loader on. And rear pallet forks.

Write wanker and draw dick pics on his lawn with roundup. I'm picking it's the expensive looking house on the corner. In my experience people who think they are wealthy are always the hardest to live next door to. Those with real money often don't give a fuck.

Can't see the problem. Lawn is mowed, no rubbish. Moaning cunts need to fro.
