First drive - What a rush
I met a guy (Richard) in Darwin recently who has an old Toyota Crown kit.
The car is finished really nicely, I have seen it around Darwin several times, so I jumped at the chance to go for a ride in it when he offered. :MECOOL: Although we were sitting on the speed limit, it was amazing the number of cars that were going past us, Richard says it happens a lot, they all catch up to have a look and then keep driving past so they don't look so stupid. :LOL: In between tropical downpours, down the Stuart Highway and into the 130kmph zone. He is running an XR8, automatic, highway diff (2.77) or similar, it has really long legs, but man o man, that thing is a rocket, 130ish ;) before it changed into third gear. Excellent fun, and I got to drive it back home. Not my car so I took it easy, you can just tell that it could wind off the clock (240kmph) without any issue at all. Just thought I'd share my childish enthusiasm. Regards Hogster |
Ya big kid you :LOL: :LOL:

Speed Limit
We have an opposition leader running her campaign for a pending election....promising to revoke the 130 limit (back to unrestricted).
I hope she gets in..... Having said that, our road toll is 11 so far this year with the limit. Last year with no limit at this time it was 4. :confused: Hogster |
I am with you Hogster,
I am voting for Jodeen for no other reason. |
