Just received my copy of AMC issue 39 and have been drooling over Gossy's XB. I was there when Moff raced this at AIR in '76 - it was my first race event, at the age of 8.
Whats the go with the story on page 13 (blown away)? Is it an ad or what? The text is mixed up and all over the place, sideways and printed over the top of other text in places. Its like the Castrol ad on the previous page has 'pushed' it all out of whack! Anyone elses copy have this? |

Its an ad, it threw me off too, there was one in the Top Gear Australia mag. I thought the ad was just one page and that was the article with screwed up printing- Then i realised it was a 2 page ad

Funny, I was looking at the Gossy XB restoration article while reading this thread. (Computer a bit slow to load up the threads sometimes -and its Bigpond not dialup, so I have backup reading material).
Yeah its the ad, wouldnt change my mind to use the stuff though. |

What really cracks me up is the part where it says
"there needed to be at least 20thou taken off but it finishes up at 28. Wow, 2.8 mil off the head, that'll help with the compression lift." Umm 28 thou aint 2.8 mm!!! More like 0.7mm ........... |
