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.

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

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.....

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

Gawd!, so Tomcat, you are one of those responsible for ruining the fond memories of the place where I grew up.

The place I caught fresh water cray in the creek.
The place I enjoyed my first cigarette.
The place I'd hang out when wagging school.
The place I took my very first girlfriend.
The place I lost my virginity even ...... hope you are ashamed of yaself

Mid 70's I was in Townsville while you lot were raping my old stamping grounds.

Actually Tomcat, I was delighted to get away from the place .... too sorta southside for me.

Apologies Roger - slight diversion on said topic.

Mr Les.................

Avoided any involvement on the 3rd or is that the 4th bridge Redcliffe is getting - I'm sure they'll get it right in the end.

Currently building toll gantries on the Gateway & Logan Motorways designed to catch all that pass under!

Small tip - the cameras are designed up to 180 km/h - read into that what you will

Been a while on here - hey if you passing your old haunt (Pre-Westfield Carindale) call in for a chat. It must be 3 or 4 years since you graced our presence

Thanks for the heads up re the cameras.

good to know.

Pete, I'd enjoy a stopover at your place if only I could get some time. Send me a phone number by PM in case I am in the vicinity and about to "drop in"

Cheers.

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!

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
