Perre bros in fairy meadow, ph 02 4226 3081, at the time they had boxes of s/s sleeved stock unsold that they reconditioned in the old days

From the title of your thread i had an idea you were talking about a ta22! sorry to see your not going through with it. im sure you will find someone to take over the project, otherwise put me down for the carby, rooflining and carpet. door trims look interesting too, thanks, Enri.

Next best thing? i think you went one better!

yes, i appreciated the pics , especially the one of the weird looking 1960's crown 4 door ute!!, and didnt mind the the contact from someone whos probably very much an enthusiest

i saw a green one sitting in the corner of alan street motors in port kembla. might be worth a try.

i read that story on a f1 site and they seemed to be quoting his exact words. the only other rumour i have heard is that he boiled the hydrauics and lost controls untill they cooled down. is that possible? either way it still points to driver error. on eurosport news, hamilton said he was trying to win the championship gloriously by winning the race. you would think an experienced team boss would have talked to him and told him to drive for position.

i dont know but id say it could be possible. the 3t is a 18 version of the 1600 2t for example the 1.5 (84mm bore) heads on my alfa boxer are identicle as the 1.2 (80mm bore) this is because the doming and valves are entirely within the 80mm diameter. if you have the 3t heads off and you knew the bore of the 2t you could measure it.

its a pitty because when the pace car left weber would have been in a position to challenge for the lead, and hamilton probably would not have risked trying to hold him off. i heard him say the f word too!

i havnt tried it but i heard there is a bug in it and if you cut and paste the blanked out bits into another browser or something it comes back up.

belgium gp not much in the top three, then hamilton is half a second behind. i watched the qualifying this morning. couldnt see any reason for it. mabey he has stopped using ferraris stolen technology in the hope he might get away with it. nearly a second to next best , a toyota too! and another good show from webber. enough stating the obvious, race starts at 10.55pm aest. hopefully the mclarans will self destruct and the seris comes back to life again

check out my new wheel cylinders complete with stainless steel sleeves

what engine series is in the stout?

channell 10 sydney has delayed the telecast of the monza grand prix from 10.30 pm till 2am due to a rugby match that doesnt even involve australia. how about that. monza is a procession anyway

when i test drove the 2004 cvx kluger the transmission was silky smooth. you couldnt even tell when the gear changes. the gearbox held its ratios longer and didnt kick back so late and violently. but that only lasted a short while then things started to change. could it be the computer adapted to my wifes light footed way of driving and so didnt work well for me when i occasionally drove it with my heavy footed style? also being used to driving manuals, one time in an emergency stop i instinctivly went for the clutch at the same time as the brake and ended up slamming on the handbrake! a loud buzzing noise added to the panic but luckily it didnt lock up. and the painfully slow power seat slide, the dealer fitted boot mat thas doesnt allow for the rear seat to be raised, the wind buffering noise that made it impossible to drive with the windows open, the baby seat which really only worked on the drivers side, and crapy resale. i lost 18k in a couple of years and only travelled 20k but to me it was pleasing to look at in dark blue with tinted windows and the fitted reverse park assist was reassuring as was the toyota reliability

probably because the old one was conservative and not flashy what about the interior. did the new one address that? i havnt seen one up close. the old one had about 20 storage compartments and yet no-where to put anything. the cup holders were at the bottom of a storage tray and if you put anything under the centre consoul it rolled out and got stuck under your brake pedal. then there was the pedal handrake and the shocking woodgrain of the grande model. why couldnt the 3rd row seat split fold???? choose between the pram and 6th passenger - but not both. unless you have a stroller, or one of those prams that need to be disasembled to fit it in. its almost easier to take 2 cars and why was the throttle so jerky. too scared to squeeze the throttle that extra millimetre or it might suddenly drop back a gear and rip your head off. tiptronic would be nice. and why cant a motor with that much technology be fuel efficent? it was well priced, compact, and had all the features on paper. my wife liked driving it. but not me
