I'll get back to you on that one...................

I took the kids to see Cars at the movies this week - It's school holidays here in Qld. I'd recommend it to all of you. The kids enjoyed the cartoon car characters - I enjoyed spotting all the car culture references in the background...... No salt in this movie Yes I am again bored at work!! Anyone ...

Rev There is always a reason............. You would think that when the roof chopper and the cage builder are located next door to each other, these things would be easy to organise - not so. Israel and Palestine are also next door neighbours but they are not always able to see eye to eye....... The...

There has been progress on the Shaguar with Big Gaz wielding his mighty 9" grinder and not so mighty 4 1/2" as well. The result is a rather large hole where the rear end use to be and where the trans hump was. BG wasn't happy with the engine plate mounting at the front of the motor and the...

I've tended to use Dettol on the cane toads, being the sensitive man that I am, with the occasional use of 9 iron (it's important to get loft into the equation when clearing the ugly little fellas from the back yard). I have been known to eradicate them with the lawn mower when they stray into it's ...

Here's a few more....btw the rear is only mocked up at this stage to determine how much rear sheetmetal is to be removed. Final tyres on the rear will be 28 inch tall salt tyres on "weld" rims....colour at this point in time is to be Ford "Toxic".... http://i73.photobucket.com/al...

It has been chopped 3 inches, dropped quite a few more and will be powered by a blown & injected Cleveland, Doug Nash 5 speed, 2.5 fully floating 9 inch 4 link rear. Engine/gearbox is test mou...

Chris Yeah - still bored....monthly reports done....no fires to put out..... I found the calculation website you are likely looking for. It is... m there are many calculation pages accessible from here. The one you would be after is: Aerodynamic and Rolling HP Loss Calculation Sumner (a frequent con...

Chris Sitting at work - a bit bored, obviously.... I found a general article on fuel economy that might be useful for people building cars and wondering how Cd works and how to aerodynamically clean up their car.... I also found a decent summary type article regarding aerodynamics on the autospeed w...

I'll bring some photos to the BBQ at Don's place on the weekend.

Don

I'll be coming with the wife and kids (2 adults - 2 young uns). I'll bring the Falcon out for an airing....

Paul

Don You've inspired me! I reckon one of these would be the go for my new XY... do you think the auto would hook up to the column shift?.... I'm going to try and drop in to your workshop this arvo with a tape measure. Yes, they sound like a brilliant motor from what I read on Autospeed the other day....

Chris Paul Lynch here, I will be a definite again next year on the start line. I loved it! I would be happy to do it again for a half a day per day all week (or more depending on Big Gaz's needs with the as yet incomplete Jag). I'd like to have a go in the timing van as well. I'm with Dave - sorting...
