Crickey Dave! I've see a car roll off the wheel aligning ramps in the workshop, but never anyone turning a car trailer into a tipper

Thankfully a very lucky outcome though.

Default LS engine breakdown

Looks like an LS engine up here snapped a crank on the weekend and won't make it to the Nationals. Sad news...... for the LS fans...
I am pretty sure all the Windsors will be in attendance?

That's the one Phil....

Using up the last of his NOS last weekend...and EXTRA 90 h.p. shot was enough to break the crank in a couple of places.

That's what 300000000000000 h.p. will do guess.

Cheers,
Warren.

Aaargh, a fire proof suit isn't a requirement is it?
I have torn the house upside down and can not find mine.
Pretty sure denim jeans and long shirt to wrist is ok?
Anyone able to give me a detonate?
I will read regs in the morning
