So happens I live in Qld. If you were to post the winning bid I could pick it up for you. After that you could collect from here or wait until I am heading your way. Alternative is to buy a suitable chassis closer to home, which is probably your best bet. As mentioned in the posts, jap utes are &quo...

THANK YOU DOC. I fell in love with this car all those years ago and haven't seen it for decades. It was the best looking car around and went like the proverbial. Looks beautiful in this shot. Where and when was this pic taken? Brings back memories. Catalina Park, Warwick Farm, Bathurst at Easter. NS...

OK> Tonner chassis, driver where engine is/was. Engine behind, short shaft to diff. A nice body like the old Frank Matich Traco Olds, that was a brutal car. At Bathurst it got left behind on Conrod by David Mc Kays Ferrari 250LM but up the hill it was sensational. The Traco was fantastic at Catalina...

Yes, gogs, I was following your thread. Generally, I cannot fault it. My only reservation was engine but that is a minor (ha ha) thing. Any engine will do if money is tight and as most of us can't afford a veyron engine most of us won't have one. What I see at the lake is a lot of everyday blokes wi...

Ed Zacary! I've driven enough trucks and vans to appreciate the aerodynamic factor. I envision a liner, using readily available parts as much as possible. The way I see it, parts that cost real money are tyres, steering, rear end, chute and the big one, fire control system. This is due to my lack of...

Gday Max. Like yourself, my first trip to the lake was an eye opener. The general attitude was genial and questions were not fobbed off. The regulars are a mad but lovable lot, even Animal, lol. No prima donnas here. I used to live 3 minutes from WSID and (yuk) Eastern Creek Raceway and neither venu...

Why call anywhere? Especially partners, you need a break from all that stuff, so stay sane, leave all the disruptions behind behind. My first trip, 2004, I traveled with an associate, who later disqualified himself. All other trips have been solo. In the words of the Mac Davis song, I cherish my own...

I can't afford an expensive holiday, or regular trips to motorsports events, but I can afford an annual fee to keep our sport alive. All my holiday time these days is salty, without beach crowds, sad sacks, parking hassles, drunken canetoads or the usual holiday garbage. I get to see beautiful stars...

Leigh Russell drove a Suzuki hatch from Brisbane to The Lake with a race engine in the passenger seat. Raced it and drove it home. Smaller than a mini but went heaps better. What a story that joker is. The only reason to use mini parts is to set the Salt Lake Breakdown Record. BMC parts are sooooooo...
