Just jumped on Hersh's computer.

Arrived well refreshed after a big sleep - Mmmm had the noisy woman from hell next to me. I was bumped to 1st and thought great.

You guessed it, the girl from hell who had been in the Qantas lounge bar for three hours before.

Smart she was drinking white wine at 9am when I arrived - just got noisy and then on the plane deck next to me. Nothing like free food and wine to bring out the best in one..

And I'm drinking orange juice and eating fruit salad - boring..

From a nice 10c - 50f - to a sizzling 38c - 106f. The pool looks great.

Kristen,

Good to hear you are back from Paris and resting up for London. The margarita machine will be up and running so expect some late nights and a sore head.. Hersh and I look forward to catching up with you.

ROUSHAC,

Dave,

Hey mate looking forward to catching up. I'll stay away from Stiffy -as I do want to go back to London again..

400TT

Craig, yes I plan on having lots of fun. Do you know if RCR will have a display at London or Tulsa Ok.? I asked Todd to keep an eye out for the air con at Mt. Gambier.

I'm standing on the footpath/side walk at Phoenix Sky Harbour and a blown Chevrolet powered '32 drove past. Hell welcome to the USA. Thought that Hershal may have swapped his '34 for a '32

Cameron,

It's as hot as can be here. No winter gear - just eyeing off the pool.
Hersh has fitted a new ZF box. It looks amazing. It is brand new and all blinged out - fully polished. Nothing like lifting the bar..

I will grab his old diesel box, as it has a better ratio than my 016. It is one of the Euro boxes. The ratio on the 016 I have now is on final at .86:1 and this new box is .64:1. If my figures are right it will give me a substantial rev. reduction at 100 - 65mph...

I also stepped up the rear tyres by 10 to the 50 series - a little more wall flex and the slight improvement of about 125rpm. I will keep the sticky 40's for Calder Track days..

All in all - box and tyres/tires a reduction of nearly 800rpm at 100 - 65mph.

My head is still a little scrambled, so I think I have calculated it correctly.

Talk soon all. Signing off on Hersh's site.

Bernie
