The Bogan

Down in your neck of the woods, visiting my daughter in Goulburn

More pics of Uncle Duncs farm truck wagon or GTFO

Skid factory for me, and Street machine stuff, and from 'merica, Vice grip garage and stuff from Cleetus McFarland I want to do the drag week, 'merica is so lucky with all their drag strips, it seems like every second suburb has some form of drag strip MCM has seemed to evolved into Mighty "new car bolt ons"

I like when the excavator spun around with the 32, like a kid with a toy race car, that was funny And the 2 ton boulder that almost killed one of them then smashed the car People should be happy that 'mericans are killing 32's like we did 20 years ago, supply and demand $$$$$$

After smearing love and draining blow the car spent the night gallivanting around in the city, ended up at the girls, wasted, and slept out in the garden, it is now covered in 11ty thousands of pine needles

Gave the car a wash, wax and detail, and while I was buffing off the wax, that I seductively applied by hand, and I mean sticking my hand in the Meguiars tub of wax and then massaging it in lovingly into the paint work, I hooked up an old water bottle and drained the SAAS AOS That's 5k km of blow by "stuff", not bad for supercharged old girl with nearly 150k km on it

Heading into Goulburn to lunch with the daughter Ambient temp was 18°c Pre interchiller it would sit around 35-40°c at the same ambient temp The R888R's on the rear are performing really really well and have been surprisingly good in the wet and standing/flowing water (small rivers running across the Hume Hwy) Bogan life is good 👍

Do you use to prime your oil system before start up?

If I got an engine "built" again I would definitely get one, even for a street car Pre-oiling bearings on start up on a big dollar engine seems like a smart idea IRT long term reliability, and I could easily justify it as "good insurance" also for when giving it the beans For the old oil pumping RB I would definitely get one

Which one? BA, BF or FG BA BF = $100 for a long FG = $150 for a long motor My mate at work is constantly bending my ear in all things Barra Not bad for a base that is so capable and easy to build for small change

New headlights as the current 20 year old headlights have alot of really fine cracks that don't buff out of the plastic Do I really need them, nah, because really you can only see them in a certain angle and a certain light, but at $200 for the pair delivered "why not"

Perfect front ride height

Try chasing with a tap if you have one, the female thread may just be full of swarf left from the munted bolt

I've forwarded on this to the Bogan world of "Just Commodores" which has gained some attention I honestly think we are flogging a dead horse, but hopefully Wakefield comply with the noise regulations required and can keep on keeping on It will require some stiff regs, and limit open exhausts and stuff to keep the locals happy, but it's either comply or close for good, which would be sad Currently at 14,252 sigs

Laundering money by building drag cars for fun and prestige is just another way of emptying cupboards full of dirty drug money The amount of people laying wads of cash to suppliers, workshops and jewellery stores is astounding How do people people think that all these "unemployed" people driving around in big dollar cars and bikes, draped in gold do it The old "I pay cash" is strong in their world

Swap for my bogan cruise ship, cash my way I know what I got 🤣

Throw in some side drains on the low side every 50 meters or so Control scouring with rubble drains, and put in the odd culvert I build alot of unsealed roads with work, drainage will keep it open longer, but there is only so much drainage can do erosion-sediment-control-unsealed-roads-field-guide-120410.pdf

The only people who would target them are the same muppets that tail gate and beep learners, and typically anyone else who isn't them, arrogance is abound on our roads In saying that, I want a "B" plate, not for bad, but for "Bogan", naahhhh, driving a big red noisy commodore should get that across

Definitely spend a little more on your suspension, even for a daily driver, or actually more so for a daily driver with less than perfectly flat roads you'll want something that handles well, but is also compliant when hitting pot holes and rough roads (basically every street and Hwy in NSW at the moment) Also don't go too stiff with your bushings, and if possible avoid pillow ball joints for less NVH and longevity of your suspension For a street car/cruiser, you'll thank yourself in the end

Damn it Got a "letter" in the mail 80 kph in 70 kph zone late last month It was on an off ramp heading off the M5 near Casula 1 point and $128, not a big hit cash or points wise, but I've lost my gold licence, Mark has a sad

Doing the usual 500 km run in the thing again tomorrow Sydney - Goulburn- Canberra- Goulburn- Sydney Cruising and lunching with fam Noice

LOL
