Great cars them- nicer shape than Holdens of that era I think.

I accelerated hard the other day to overtake a scooter and saw 4500rpm! It was so fast I had to pull over and have a little nap.

poor little mini.. Must be feeling lonely..

I had to do the same thing to my old triumph sender- it had sat without much fuel in tank and corroded the resistor. Worked a treat afterwards.

I like to start in 1st gear and then head straight for 5th. And the clutch is for holding the in place car on a hill intersection eh?.. Now wheres my wurthers?..

Its getting better as the little injection knobs wear down. I cant believe they are still there- fuck I must drive like a granny.

Looks so sweet. The rear end on these cars are perfect! Looks like SI put on top weather for your trip too?..

You sure it was an HB? I remember a HC 2 door for sale on trade me for ages with 2.3 and twin side drafts etc. Yeah them engines well thirsty and not smooth revvers- but so torquey.

Ha ha- memories!!! Gizza kiwi. ha. Cool as but I'm gonna make something even older me thinks.

That Imp is cool! And cheap. I didn't see the MGs- where were they?

You should be looking for imps right now....

I wonder. I hope my 1500 photo copied voting slips with Viva on them might do the trick...

Wow- loads of info on that turboforums.com! cool. good link.

Oh I thought it was sweet. Mounted so far back it would handle sweet and very tidy install. But yeah- a lot of V8s (although I do love V8s so not a bother for me) What hannah and I noticed was a almost total lacking of everyday runners- cheaper classics like your Triumph, Vivas, Hunters, Avengers, Morris minors and Austin 1100s etc...oh an no VWs at all? oh yeah- no MGs!!! I have never been to a classic car show and not seen at least one or two MGs?!

Was an awesome show and the weather was great! I slapped on sunscreen but still ended up pink. Took many photos on my phone- since discovering our camera was stuffed. Some seriously nice cars there. Peripheral ported R100 was sweet. Detailed aqua pastel blue Holden EJ ute was very cool. Bright red '74 911 tasty. Lowered Bimmer V12 850 with sweet exhaust note was sweet. Tasty pottle of hot chips was another high point. Photos from me in a while...

ha excellent. Top prank. Such colour co-ordination. You have many stars!

You can just turn up on the day in your chevette. Is iut a yellow hatch? saw a yellow hatch on way to cruise friday night. looked so choice- had recessed lights like all good chevettes should.... Yeah Sam- Viva all clean too. Hannah cleaned the engine bay and touched up the paint chips on engine etc while I was at work. we'll be there at 9 so to get a good spot. Will- Vivas are cheap cheap cheap at the moment and with huge engine bays.....

Was good meeting you yesterday Will. See ya sunday- got hannah at home cleaning the Viva. Hopefully see you there in trump sam

Tonights cruise and BBQ... http://www.nelsoncarshow.com/news/frida ... d-bbq-2012 I'm gonna try make it along. I like seeing old cars. I like BBQs I like food.

One of the most undervalued cars in the world I think. They always make me smile and I always wonder why they never sell for much here or in other countries. Such good value. I guess they don't suffer from scene tax...yet...

Sweet. Could you post up a photo of em? I wanna find something funny, like some random big show or event that happened around '68-70 thereabouts so I can make a period window sticker to suit. The car wears otago plates so I have been looking up things like A&P shows from down that way for inspiration. Will make my own stickers once I have an idea. edit: I will attempt to make my own stickers....

Yeah Viva is entered. Entry number 007 I might be out in Viva tonight- not sure yet. Pm me your number wilddat. 2500- whats up with trump? Will you have it sorted for show?

stickers. Period bowling club stickers or something. Oh and a thin pin stripe along the side.
