Vintage Grumble

Chur, ken on sunday, will rock down with duddley and maybe waimaks, should be delightful.

^ Yup.

So pretty, luvs it very much.

Aight, well just to be a cunt, im gonna ask if people would prefer to have this meat on the sunday? Then me and the chaps from Whak can all come, and I thought it may be better for ppl who may have to work on the Sat? Whos keen on that idea or should I GTFO?

Cant believe they have a photo gallery....

We had talked about having a meet here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=25032 But, some wank is having a 21st, so not sure if us Whaka chaps will make it (unless we have it on the sunday?)

The lovely Mr Duddley has made the logo smaller, so it wont rape peoples eyes: http://virtuous.co.nz/shadow-garage-forum-logo.png I shall give out stickers when we meat up. Secret hand shake?

These kits you talk of, are they cut and scalloped ready to weld, or do you have to cut and scallop them yourself?

Shadow garage is a fictional japanese tuning company..... yeh I dont know what I was thinking, but hey, stickers! Shadow garage gang? The west side story racers? Gang bang garage? Smack for your pony! (thats the official SG catch line btw) HardCORE parkers? Rotomar rompers? BOP cunts?

I happen to have 200 stickers of the below logo, so that would work out well?

IT SHOULD BE! Better make sure we dont use the wrong colour for our jackets that we will no doubt get, other gangs may take offence. I'm pretty damn sure most of us Whakatane boys be keen on a meet up once a month/bi monthly or something? Have it in a different town each time?

Haha, ken as, i've always wanted to be in a gang .....

Looks mean, leave as is.

Spot lights look silly there, look very ungainly.

Holy shit. Nice.

Looks chur, seems pretty damn tidy, do a skid? Also, wouldnt this still count as european? You could rebadge it as a Plymouth Cricket and say its american I guess? Edit: Do this,

Yep, is their national race weekend, not sure what classes will be there, SS2000 was mentioned?

Rite, so sat the 8th, what shall we do? Ideas? Meat somewhere, go to races, cruze somewhere for a family lunch, insert an activity here, cruze back to races, have a din dins then bugger off? Something along those lines?

Looking good, now do a skid.

Not much of an update, but all this talk of velodrome racing prompted me to fish the motor out and give it a tune, still havent sorted out exhaust pipes, so slapped some threaded pipe on for the hell of it, and fired it up. Played around with it for a while and got it running pretty sweet. Its set nice and rich, it blows a nice amount of smoke, back fires like a champ, and idles like a fox! Only thing that worries me is its fucking heavy, and so am I, hope my frame and rusty wheels can take it! I hope to get the frame welded up this weekend, and mount the motor (even tho I should be working on one of the cars or house, dont tell the missis eh)

WELL DONE THAT MAN! I can imagine how ecstatic you must be, looks and sounds amazing. In the first vid, I thought the timing light was exhaust flames, I was waiting for the bench to catch on fire. Once again, well done.

get building and compete Shit yeh, super down with this.

I heard there wont be an OS one this year, but there may be a motorkhana at nats. Lovely wiring BTW, its good to know theres still auto sparkies with skills/who care. (theres none around here, thats for sure) Skids seem like the perfect thing to do apon completion, I look forward to the video.

Can someone make a documentary of this event, I need to hear the amazingness.
