hehe how funny was the B3 in the last race pulling a wheelstand off the start line and doing a few flips. Maybe I should put a slipper back on it!

Now I know why they say to put superglue on the 6 gear idler screws, had one come out and get jammed in the idler teeth, but put it back together with the dodgy idler and it held up ok.

Will have to get those film pics developed soon

Definitely nice pics-- looks like a great place to run vintage! 2nd annual Nats maybe?? ;)

Pretty sure that truck is a Holden Ute. The Pontiac G8 is based on that chassis (thanks Australia!) and Pontiac even threw around the idea to bring a similar vehicle to the US.
The preceding contained opinions, beliefs and thoughts that all may not agree with. No offense was intended at any point. Carry on.

Erich the black ute in the back ground is my Holden 'STORM' ute. These are quite popular here in Australia and are much like a sports type vehicle really. This car has a V6 alloy motor with auto transmission,leather/cloth interior etc..Im a Carpenter and even though it is a bit over the top for what I do it is a nice car to drive around in. They are much like a passenger sedan without the back seat but much bigger boot space- :D

General Motors is supposed to start importing those over here in the next year or so. I'll take mine with an LSx and six speed thanks!

Alternatively you can choose a model from this mob here,

What AMG is to Mercedes, Msport to BMW, Ralliart to Mitsubishi, Nismo to Nissan...you get the idea.

euh guys, I don't like playing traffic cop, but don't you think this conversation is a bit out of place in Bormacs thread?
