Ahhh box, I like the rego plate too......just goes to show how much Bundy rum is appreciated by real men and women. 
Real men don't drink VB.
That ute looks like one an old girlfriend used to drive. She was a shy little petal. She once had an affair with a Victorian bloke but broke it off when she realised he was more effeminate than her.

Well the USA election is over and they have a new President.
I'm not sure what they are thinking there.
They just elected another Lawyer into the White House. He is married to a Lawyer. He had a running mate and she is a Lawyer. She is married to an ex President who is a Lawyer.
The guy the dumped was an ex war hero who is married to a woman that owns one of the biggest breweries in the USA...
Mmmmm what were they thinking...

After that, I think I will have to watch who the heck I am seen with in "The Down Under".
No accounting for taste mind you.

Boxhead,
Guess it is a hard decision once you see the donour car all cleaned up - but yes I would use everything off it that was good. Maybe resurrect it later once the Charger is done.
How did it go.. .. "..hey Charger!!"

Not much chance of a resurection if the wagon does become a donor.
If it happens then it will be a case of not much left.
The red Charger will take the floor, and the black (X-Speedway car) will take the firewall and plenum.
I am leaning this way at the moment (but change my mind like the wind).
The current train of thought is to repair both shells and keep the best (most likely red one) and sell of the other shell as a good rust free car, with pics and documentation of it being repaired.

Hi Lindsay,
Yes I had S.E.M.A on the list but there is a lot on the go here.
The GT40 has had a brake upgrade with new rotars 330mm and new braided lines etc.
Will head over your way in the next week or so. I have the air con unit to go in and an engine freshen up to go...  ..
See you at McDonald Brothers Racing.. ... would you like a transmission over haul with that..
Are you guys racing at Calder Park raceway this weekend. I see there is a meeting on..
Bernie

Mmmm to many projects. Don't be tempted leave them out in the desert..
That is unless it's a mint dry '34 coupe or a clean Duece coupe.. ...then it's OK to drag them in for me..

Bernie,
Scotty from Exhaust Bros may not want his '34 coupe anymore.
You should give him a call if he's back from the cleaners.

MAN that's terrible. Watch the chassis flex. Ouch. It has got to be a glass body as steel wouldn't be in the same shape after that big flop and chassis flex. I like the EK's effort.

From what I hear, they checked the car out after this, found all ok and he kept racing with more runs.
Aparently the car was going in for a rebuild soon after this, the owner wanted to see how it would go on a hard launch, I think he found out.

How often does this happen..
Just reading about wheel stands and racing...
I have driven the Cobras around for over eight years and now more recently the GT40, but I must say I have never had as many idiots try to race me as I did on Saturday last.
It must have been a full moon..
At every traffic light I think I had some idiot give me the thumbs up and race off - being a sensible mature driver I let them go. Then on the third light I just let go and disappeared...
I don't know if it was just the luck of the draw or if it is getting worse on the roads..
Then I watched the news on Sunday night and the Police attended 6 major accidents with mainly young guys involved. Three killed in Melbourne alone. They called it street racing or drag racing which reflects on the legal racer.
Maybe I'm just getting old.. ..It is the same when I'm out in the XR8 utility.
Does it happen to you a lot more when your out in the Cobra or your performance daily driver...
Bernie
