67Rolla-Ken

I like that one Redwarf :blinks: I knew I had forgotten at least one car, there was also this odd looking newish Reno small car. The thing looked completely stock, even with the bonnet popped. Man did this thing boogy! The guy driving it wasn't shy on the corners either. I heard a rumor of 180hp, it sure sounded potent. Yeh, the event was definately suited to smaller awd or fwd cars. The bigger rwd cars were more comic relief than anything else. Also, Franz from Franzonline.net is an awesome driver! Only problem was he was too scared to bring his Evo 8, might scratch the paint :lolcry:

I've seen this car in a few photo shoots... I would love to see this in person!! I couldn't make it out from the pics, what is the VIN??!!

Howdy all, sorry I missed the cruise Seeing as my car wasn't ready I considered watching a Motorkhana to be a better offer :blinks: I forgot the good camera and the video camera... but got a couple of pics on my phone. Was a great day! We had an AE86 from franzonline.net competing, an awesome AWD 323, a white GTI Swift, a tidy red Brumby ute, a super quick blue Datsun rally car, an MX5 rally car, an MG Miget (looked so cute and small when sliding around the corners), and a hand full of falcadores that had no hope on the nice twisty tracks. First course was a dirt track with some nice corners in between bollards. Almost every car either got lost or looped it round at one time or other, but most guys got at least two good runs. The awd 323 was absolutely amazing. The second course was arround buildings on tarmack and gravel. After everyone had ha a couple of runs we ended up with two clear contests... quickest time between all the smaller cars, and biggest burnout of the line between the two falcons and commodore. After a while a few of us could see where this was heading :D The 2009 V8 SS commodore lined up for what I think was his 3rd run. Did a resonable burnout off the line but missed second and couldn't get the car in gear. After coming to a complete stop he finally managed to get it in gear and took off, clearly a little upset with himself. Coming around the second last corner he lost the back end but decided to keep the boot in and have some fun with it... After 3 or 4 fishtails he met up with a gum tree on the side of the road. This was a good 50-100 meters from the corner wher the fun started, so he'd managed to build up a decent amount of speed. The car is most likely a write off... engine and gearbox are stuffed, front wheels are hard up against the back of the wheel arches, and both front airbags went off. The driver is ok, was winded and in a lot of shock straight after but was discharged that night. I think the biggest injury was to his pride. I hope he comes back next year... but I doubt he will. After all that I have no idea who won... was definately entertaining :lolcry:

Damn, looks like I missed a good one. I can't see the back, is that a 10 or 15??

Yess!!!

Well.... happy birthday Luke :happy:

The more I look at it the more I like it :happy:

I seem to remember her being posted on here before.... not a bad way to blow a couple million :happy:

As MSN has been disabled at work, I'm all for this! Will make the days go much quicker :happy:

Yup, used one before. Very different beast to the normal fork, lots more toys (levers). Could have a contest to see how far we can throw the pallets using the Manitou :happy:

Doughnuts on a forklift... you bet! More fun to wedge the tines against an immovable object and smoke it up... not that I ever do that :happy:

:happy: I want in!! What job can I have? I have a forklift ticket :lolcry:

Very tidy.

....It's not like the rest of your tax is spent on stuff you will see or use.

Seeing as my cars looking decades away from finishing...again.. I wont be there. I'm going to Goomalling/ Dowerin for the weekend. They've got a motakana thingy on.

Can't wait to see new pics!

I highly doubt I'll be ready by then... but if I am, I want in!

Damn it!! I knew after two posts but didn't trust my knowledge!! :P

I thought this year was vintage?

I can't wait to have this car and mine in a cruise together!! Are you gunna take your car over to SA for the Bay to Birdwood next year??

If only you were in WA, desperately chasing a decent storeman... current one has been grinding my gears for months!! :)

Thats what I thought it was KENut... but I'm just going from memory.

Thanks... It bloody well better be finished by then :) I just want it to be a working car again!! Went and picked up a spare diff from Rollas22 yesterday, he recently scored a tidy little KE10. Thing has a perfect dash pad and bumpers.... I want them soo bad!

These ones are just wrong size, too big and wrong corners. I'm gunna get my cash back and and go with Scotts. The only reason I when with Clark was because they told me I'd have them in a week... took 3 f#$%*^g weeks!! Because of this I'm gunna miss a Motakana/Show and shine next weekend.

Can we rename this thread.. JiP's What Grinds My Gears Thread? :) I love the post about your dad with the scope, please tell me the rifle was not attached?!! ;)
