Might have to get a WoF on the Sierra sorted then....

Goddamnit....I only took daughter into Ironhorse Hobbies for a look around....

Can I send in a brochure that includes my incredibly competitive "shit job" rates?

I have little disposable income, and the future is uncertain. /Of course I'll bloody well buy it....

Seeing as I am now unemployable, I am so tempted by this....

Swooning at the Landie, but also came to say I was smitten with many a John Welsford plan after finding his book in the Nelson Library. Top effort that man!

Well that escalated quickly...

Misery..... /whoops, not spam

Personally I reckon a set of stocks setup corner of High and Cashel (Hacks square). Perpertrators get locked in there for 6 hours (or so) during busy shopping days to be humiliated in front of the public. That would honestly have more effect than a finger wagging from the police.

“The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.” I made the mistake of visiting @d.p.n.s followed by a coffee with @- i5oogt -. Nek Minit "Turboski Sierra", to quote Karl. Ooooooooooo.............

So.....in a fit of madness, this happened: The last 12 months have been a bit of a shit sandwich (and I might even have a bit of an offload in the Depression thread at some stage) but one of the main things Ive chosen to keep my sanity is to finally attack some of the projects that I have been putting off due to "poverty"....when in reality the money was there but I was just prioritising other (shitt) things over them. So for the rest of the year the focus will be on the CBR MC17 I grabbed off @a.craw4d with the goal to having it running for summer. 2025's big project will be the Sierra, hence the first purchased piece of the puzzle above....its a manifold for a Weber 32/36 to go with the other ideas: - Kent FR32 fast road cam - RX8 5/6 speed box (to be determined) - Mags and Gaz shocks all round. - Possibly YB pistons and rods in the Pinto 2.0 205 block. - Possibly EFI? Id love to chase some numbers around 150-175bhp which should be doable without getting too involved. I'm eyeing up a carport kit as well to keep it out of the weather, but this is all doable. The money was always there, it was just getting wasted on stupid stuff.

I dont think he'd want to be seen in it twice....

Payday this week....will confirm.

Whose got the Beetle? I'd rock that over the Sierra....
