Hi Guys

I had an invite to Bowdens car care and had a look and hear of probably the first AC Ace (Cobra) imported into Australia.

I first saw the car in 1965 or 1966 I cant remember and It still has the 4 IDA webers on the engine that it had then.

It was a beautiful day for a cruise too.

With a bit of luck I will be at the Absolute Pace Shed Run that is happening on the 7th June.

Anyone wants a drive round the block then its on.

Cheers

Brad

P.S. The car has just over 5,000 kms on the speedo now

That's true 3 laps of Wakefield park was all I could manage.

No more running in oil in any more of my engines.

I am slowly getting the Pace finished I have just finished Wheel aligning the car with Fulcrums at Capalaba and they did a great job.

No real problems with the Pace just a few things that i want to my own liking .

Over all very happy and a big thank you for the help from all the guys at Absolute Pace.

Cheers

Brad

P.S. driving the Cobra to work today so more K's on the girl

Default Jealousy

Hi Zacson,

Don't be jealous just be a bit envious and work hard on the build and it will all come together i can assure you.

send me an e mail and I will try to get to the peninsular for a visit some time soon.

My grandmother bless her heart always said "The best things in life always come to those who wait".

I was talking to Craig at AP today and he is still as enthusiastic as ever and I for one will tell you that he will deliver on his promises to everyone as he did to me.

Cheers

Brad

Mate I am still super keen! I had a chat with Craig the other day too. All sorted! I found out about a few issues I knew nothing about and some concerns were cleared!

Bring it on!

Oh, PM sent!
