Nice, it was an interesting show,  there were some original looking Mk1s there with some pretty serious mumbo. One of the Harris engined ones could lay down 12s quarters, yet looked like grandma's sunday drive!

Next week they take on the restoration of a Mk 1 Landy.

Yeah, it was interesting. Pretty general stuff, though. I would have liked a bit more mech info.

Kay had a MkII years ago. Couldn't quite do 12's.........

My first car was a tidy little TF SLX, I've always had a soft spot for them!

Walking around the streets this afternoon with the dog within a km of home I noticed 3 really good condition unmolested ones. All late 70s and early 80's.

Pity you know SFA!

Tassie can supply 100% of its powers needs to supply it's B&W tvs and electricity cars down here from green clean hydro electricity.
Don't need to rape and pillage groundwater supplies to provide cheap gas supplies like up north.

My work car gets charged twice a week at at the grand cost of $2.50 for the 200 plus km it does.

And, it will beat that GTHO of the mark to 60kph! At 100kph it will be half a second behind - 6.5 versus 7 seconds.

Mods......

Mace has gone and stuck an electric car in the Big Boy's Toys thread and that's just plain wrong, anyway you wanna look at it.

Oh, by the way Mace, it's no good telling me I know SFA, as I've already known that for years and the wife reminds me every now and then in case if I forget it.  ;D
