Damn Boy Racers Parking Alongside My Car...


Recommended Posts

Nice GT40. I will have one in the collection one day.

The Bushrangers though are pretty interesting. Basically an overpriced battlefield taxi. I worked on the project in its early stages and wasn't impressed.

350hp Cat to ZF auto trans, push button gear selection, central tyre inflation for different terrain profiles, safely take 9.5kg of HE underneath with good survivability. No big gun so it's just a truck.

nice geoff, is that the realistic collection or the "if i win tattslotto" collection :P

i ended up lookin up the stats of those things on the net.

got the hp figure, but couldn't find any mention of the amount of torque that CAT 6 was putting out, would think that would be the most interesting thing about em.

14,000 kg would need a decent nudge to help it along i woulda thought :P.

half the trucks were drivers under instruction, so must have been a bit of a training drill.

didn't actually ask him, but pretty sure that the chassis wouldn't have been donated from another car. next time i see the guy i'll ask who the car was built by and try and get some more info.

Yeah, probably wasnt very clear but this one B)

yeah our historic race car has sponsorhip from the classic throttle shop that import all the gulf stuff so are car is done up with the gulf stripes, and when not racing has the big "GULF" sticker/logo on the roof etc.

love the old alfa's, had a 2L alfetta as one of my first cars.

would have to sound pretty decent with the short exit pipe hanging out the side there

yeah it's pretty sweet. it has a fully built motor (inc pistons, rods, very big cam etc) running 48mm webbers. We will actually be racing it at Phillip Island next year so if anyone is keen to come and say hello i'll let you know when we are out there.

edit: the GT40 replica was most likely built buy http://www.gt40australia.com/ apparently they have very good quality/faithful kits.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
