h4nd Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 So good to hear you're still doing the thing. I think folks down here have been watching you, there's more and more of these in good state of paint, slabbing around the streets. You trend-setter you. Dont buy too much pertol, or you'll put the price up and I won't be able to run the Dai! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Also - when you're at nats can I flick you $3 so you can take me for a 5 min drive? I want to experience living like a king just for a fleeting moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Thinking about your thread update today, You say it doesnt drive real nice at 100kph? Weren't these a sports car of sorts?

They were a grand tourer, with suspension designed in the late '50s for the tyre technology of the time. Maybe mine has some more worn bushes though. I have bought replacements for these ones, but I haven't fitted them yet: (when the time comes, I will have to contend with that ridiculous-looking fastener...) @yoeddynz I'll look into what's up with the accident pics.
