Yep, Still got the Pursuit 250. I'm giving it a bit of TLC at the moment. Needs new front brake rotors and the front bumper resprayed.

To be honest watching blokes burn rubber while their mate waves out of the window doesn't do much for me. Never been a fan of burnout comps and the like. I think I have too much mechanical sympathy.

Yep Me too. What's all the pumping air about ?
Those burnout comps are an abuse of some fine engines to me.
I did a smokey burnout in an electric cart at work one day.....Parked it against the wall and turned it on.....Just to prove to a young bloke that it was pointless.

Helping my neighbour out today with my excavator digging test holes for him on his 1000Acre property across the road from ours. Made me feel like a ten year old boy all over again playing with the mechanical diggers at the Monash playground here in the S.A. river land..
Good memories...

Yeah, Dean I remember that flying fox. As young (and stupid) teenagers we used to go windsurfing at Lake Bonny then at night after a few beers we would frequent the Monash playground and go on the oscillating/spinning cones (best way I can describe them) that was different.. and dangerous enough. LOL

You would think if they were going to go to the trouble of importing and converting a ute they would have started with a HSV Maloo.

suss? this must be a special Australian term that I'm not familiar with but could be translated as "bloody useless".

Elections, politicians .... the word suss (for suspect) is right at home in these surrounds.
