I'm down to the wire with the mercury, back drums were warped, got new ones coming by overnight courier, drove 250 k's yesterday to pick up the engineers report. car still has to be blue slipped, have a wheel alignment and a tune on the dyno. We just run out of time, but I'll get the little blue mongrel there even if we have to put it on the trailer.

Bugger eh, always the way. My brakes need new pads but I just don't have time to do it.

Athol see how you go, if you make it that's great, if not, dont stress.

The XD fairmont ghia I took last year is ready to go, so one way or another we will be there. just be nice to have a different car. Wanted Dickie to sign the glove box seeing it is basically from the same stable as the stang he raced.

I got it towed to hartwigs and with closer inspection found that my i have:
1 cracked piston
2 lifters
2-3 bent rods and values
and maybe crank is cracked.

it seems to be moving fast, hopefully it clears

the forecast is for clear weather anyway :

[b2tf]

It's forecast to be clear on Saturday, a real bugger of a day at the moment but thats how it is.

The first of our entrants will be in town in less than 2 hrs.

If it is raining on Saturday the show will go ahead but we cannot use the grassed area of Bolton Park, it will be moved to the carpark. But it won't rain :.

Hope everyone heard the radio today when we started the car in the mall :

[Josh_XC]

[1FLYRYD]
