That being said I live on the east side ! :)

I was raised at Carina .... now gone all fancy and called Carindale. Where the Carindale shopping center is now was once a wool scour. I remember long, deep trenches full of carcasses laced with all manner of chemicals which killed the grass all the way to Bulimba creek.

I suppose the best thing to do with noxious land is concrete over all of it and turn it into a shopping center.

Those chemicals should have made their way to Victoria point by now. ;):cool::LOL:

C'mon.........you know all the creeks run the other way.....out to the Northside !!:eek::LOL:

Well paid money today for the motive force......so I'm $8500 outa pocket but got a Boss 260 with 50k's on it with a 6 speed, engine loom, computer, ABS engine, Steering column with wheel & keys, fuel pump, pedal box tailshaft and a bunch of other stuff that I could well need.
The engine sounds real strong, has a Herrod racing helix & a new set of extractors & sounds like its got cams as well !
I think that paid a fair price especially with what I'm getting with it

My motto is: Don't force it, get a bigger hammer.

Have you seen how tight a fit it is in a drb2000 which is designed to fit one? You are in for a world of pain.....:)

Does that red bit on top come standard on all of the V8s in the current Fords?
I like the way it sits in the engine bay.

Hi Roger,

I'm the one with the blue / silver striped DRB at Alex Hills - you're welcome to come and have a close look, but not sure whether it will help with your Harrison / huge 260 build.

I was talking to a certain V8 racing driver last year who was looking at doing a similar implant - may be he can offer some advice - he lives at Kilcoy, but spends most of the year travelling!

Take no notice of Les - he used to be a nice fellow then he crossed over!

Seriously you have to question his sanity - would you live in an area where the pelicans sh$t on you all the time?

Would add that the QLD cobra guys are the most helpful bunch of renegades you'll find anywhere - unfortunately I don't get down to Sanctuary Cove very often (Wazza chimes in - never!) as it interferes with my nocturnal habits - sleeping!!

That reminds me - Wazza, are the yearly subscriptions due?

My car unfortunately sits in the garage more often than I would please, but I do occassionally wash it and take it for a spurt. Hopefully I'll be attending Indy (Nitro GP - doesn't quite sound right) in October (if Wazza lets me) so may see you there.

Good luck with the build!

Merv and Sharon 07-18-2009 05:06 PM

I agree with all of that Peter. I had lots of help along the way, especially with the wiring - from Les and Geof. Everyone's car is always that little bit different and there is always something that throws things out until you understand why.

I am not sure about the pelican's down Les's way but I have heard another description of that area as (my memory weakens here ... ) "Ipswixx by the sea" or similar?

Totally unfounded - both ways!

And yes - when are subscriptions due? Is our money not good enough or is more needed to accommodate the President's extravagant and elegant lifestyle?

Merv

Rog246 07-18-2009 05:26 PM

thank you very much Pete, I would appreciate that.
Both you and Merv are right re the club. I already have an appreciation of not just the club but this site as well, the advice and the banter is fantastic.
The banter suits me in particular as I'm a cheecky Pr**k anyway ! LOL

Rog246 07-18-2009 05:29 PM

Ipsw**** by the sea !! ROFLMAO............ well I suppose it could be worse.........not sure how, but I wish I was so sure of picking the Lotto nos, that someone will come back with something derogatory !!

Oi Uncle Pete, I'm still a nice fellow, just ask me, I'll tell ya. :o

As to the pelicans :JEKYLHYDE. Thanks to engineering types like you they are soon to double in number courtesy of the extra bridge. :CRY:

Funny you should make comment as to the toilet habits of these pelicans as one recently made a deposit onto a mate of mine caught in a traffic snarl on that very bridge. :eek:

So all pelicans have been sent off for retraining so they can properly identify Southsiders from those of us who live on the Northside. ;)

Anyways, good to hear from you .. Hope you and your family are doing well. :)
