I keep forgetting you blokes have to pay for your time on line, not like NZ where we pay a flat rate, no local call charges per-minute..so my bandwidth is not an issue, I can take all the time I like to download So hows the Landi Steve? Guess what Im doing now..Im working in vehicle sales at a combined Renault and Jeep / Chrysler delaership, and we are getting the Landi Franchise in a couple of months as well...might stop those guys giving me a hard time because Im driving the better pproduct LOL Tim > Hey Tim, don't feel so down.

It regularly gets scratched and this paint is just so cheap. ?35 for 5 ltrs. Put it on with a roller! Given it is matt finish, it actually looks OK. There are stickers on eBay at present that read 'I'd rather push my Land Rover than drive a Jeep!'.... maybe you should buy them one! Or maybe that would loose you your job!

Im there by choice. cant see the point of spending hard earned for broadband or what ever, when dial up suits my needs perfectly well And no Im not going to the fun day this year, I'm working for one, plus its a long way to go to watch others have fun, and until the Jem is completed I have no car to go and have fun with...no way I'll take Maggie on the track again, not after last year, when every man and his dog in a hotted up 1275 wanted to take me on to prove they are faster than a twin pointed injected. I'm afraid looneys in roughies running on a 3:4 diff out to prove a point just have no respect. Maggie is a cruiser not a racer, and the 2:7 diff is designed for comfortable high speed long runs on the open road, not racing tracks....next year maybe > > I keep forgetting you blokes have to pay for your time on line, not > > like NZ where we pay a flat rate, no local call charges per-minute..so [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Does that mean you're not coming to the fun day this weekend?? :) Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed today Tim?

That's not that cool - I went up in any case, and went for a ride in the Haycock race mini - holy fun-tastic! 190-200k down the back straight of the race course in a car that had been rolled the week before!!! Quite a few people even though it was cold as a cold thing. A couple of our club members went out on the track - and said everyone was really respectful this year - probably due to the wet conditions and lower number of people taking their cars out on the track. I was contemplating lowering the ratio of my diff - but nothing was available when I was putting the GB back together, so 1:3.44 is stays! Now I just have to decide what colour to paint the block. splam 2:9 is about as low as you can go with a carb engine, and even thats a bit of a push, the injection has improved tourque so pushes the 2:7 easily, she's quick enough on the open road, but bogs down in the tight hairpins on the track and I really dont like to drop down into 1st gear, its to hard on the mechanicals etc. The main protaganists are a couple of lads up the coast from you a ways, who for some reason seem to have developed a un-founded antagonism towards me. Maybe because they are jealous of Maggie. Who knows, but one thing is certain if they had "served" me up on the track they wouldnt have put their hands in there pockets to repair her. I have it from my local sources that one of them managed to break his "race car" on the very first lap anyway, which is really rather amusing LOL. That will teach him to be a "blow hard" lol Me > > Im not stuck on dial up.
