You must have talked to the crew.

Yea , was a quick trip back from Busso.

Can't do much for him , they expect him to be gone in a couple of day's .

Either way he will never leave hospital.

Anyway , saw Mickos car at about 10.15 pm Friday night as I was leaving.

Who else went ?

Cheers

Ken

The job would have got easy anyway cos 2 of our crew went out on the first real gravel stage ( SS 3 )

Shane tipped on his side but will be going again tomorrow.

Adam rolled the car and will have a lot of work to fix it.

Cheers

Yeah, we ended up going in to Nannup to the service area, found your camp and heard the news.

We saw your cars at the stages, they seemed to be doing OK.

See'ya:burnout:

Hopefully the boys did a good job servicing.

Would MUCH rather have been there than here atm.

Btw , Busselton to Joondalup Hospital in 2 hrs flat was a reasonable pace. If the cops caught me , I wasn't stopping but didn't see one. Hehe

Cheers

Alot of work and money:D

Yep but as head mine engineer , the money won't take long but I think the work might.

Rob just rang me and said it was messy. Every panel gone .

Cheers

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
