The pics with this post (don't know if they come through with the quote) here the engine isn't a rat (big block) its a mouse (small block).

I meant the engine pic with the SS Chevy.

Zuffen isn't a tall poppy, he has shown he isn't up himself and full of his own self importance. A tall poppy would tread on people on his/her way to making a fortune, the fact Zuffen paid his staff and went without himself show a moral standard above that of a tall poppy. Australian's do want...

jibbby if my eyes don't deceive me that was a mouse not a rat in that picture.

AWA = Australian Working Agreement, I have to admit I thought it was a good idea to. The problem I saw was a few employers were using the letter of the law but not the meaning of the law. Tall Poppies are people who do really well for themselves but are full of their own self importance. John...

thanks jibbby, they ar classics. The 400 Pontiac was a good motor, strong and could produce masses of power. It wasn't very popular though against the chey or ford motors.

64 GTO and 71-72 GTO Judge for American although I have to admit I really like the 426 Hemi Daytona's with the huge rear wings. I have always liked f-bodies and 60s mustangs, and the shape of a Cobra is a classic. Can't forget the Brits in all this either, an MGB or C with a UZFE in it (very...

It was actually designed in Australia by Holden. Same company that builds Pontiac's GTO. I like it, but then again I have always like the F'body, I had a 1977 Bandit T/A.

jibbey, the worlds fastest indian is a movie about a Kiwi guy. the rest of the post is a joke that probably only Aussies and Kiwis will understand in its totality. I'll explain a little so you can get part of it. In Australia there is a long running joke about New Zealand being not only the...

For all you Salt Lake Speed enthusiast I would recommend you hire "The Worlds Fastest Indian". Its a true story. Our Kiwi friends should know all about it. Just one comment, no sheep were involved but there is a Tranny :eek2:

What rivers? lol.

I have done Sydney to Darwin, was on my P's and we did it in just over 3 days just before Christmas in 1985, was diverted because of Floods in central Qld when a drought broke so had to drive over to Charters Towers and back across to the Mount and then onto the Barkly. Still remember as though...

Thus my saying it was only a baby storm. This is typical of the Antipodes (Australia and New Zealand). The Europeans named the Antipodes and the South Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea with New in their name (Australia was New Holland, for the non Aussies) yet these places are the oldest...

I wouldn't call it a problem, many would and thats up to them, but we have had boat people from Vietnam and for the last 10 years they have been coming from Indonesia, other Muslim countries, and the south east asian countries like Burma cause they are trying to escape a living hell. My issue...

Gee its nice to be able to cyber chat with Americans who aren't uptight about the word Yanks. I'm on a few forums and one of them the guys just hate it and really rip shreds off you for even suggesting it. I don't have a problem with out general tax system, it not perfect but when you only have...

Hard earned tax dollars fixing roads! lol, pretty unheard of actually.Our general taxes don't do roads, what does out roads. or is supposed to do our roads, is the incredible amount of tax we pay on fuel. If the fed gov't alone took its tax excise off, and not even thinking about the GST, our...

A summer storm, I tried to do a few pics but this is the only one that would resize properly. Will try some more on the weekend.

That's the place. I lived 2 streets up from the pub, never went in there though. The Tiger was actually some sort of dog thing and its been preserved taxidermiclly (sp?) and is on a shelf in the pub. I moved to Millicent December 1989 two days before the Newcastle Earthquake, only lived...

I used to live in a place called Millicent and another called Tantanoola near Mt Gambier in South Australia. It was the wettest part of the driest state of the driest continent on earth. Seriously it was cloudy and grey and drizzly for 10 months of the year. That district called the Green...

I have been at bathurst for the race when it has been snowing, I have been there when there is a storm on the top of the mountain and sun shining at the bottom. It is a temperamental place and its no wonder not many international drivers come here to do the race and the ones that do are the best...
