Thanks so much. I'll get some ONR.

Like everyone else on here I find your detailed and informative coverage of car cleaning, detailing etc. very interesting so I thought I'd pick your brains. A few days ago the Mustang Owners Club had its monthly mid week outing to a farm shop and cafe sort of thing about an hour into Gippsland...

As a died in the wool blue oval fan, it was particularly exciting and satisfying. For the record, having just completed my 71st trip around the sun yesterday, I was 22 and drove myself and couple of mates to Bathurst in my XY GT covered a while back in my own thread. While drag racing has been...

Their value and desirability helped by the legendary 1.2 finish at Bathurst in 1977. I was there.

Very interesting. I'm about 90% sure the gizmo on the shock tower is an early aftermarket cruise control set up.

I've never seen one but have heard they exist too, There were always the odd special order available to those with the right contacts inside Ford. I've seen a factory produced four speed manual ZD Fairlane and been told about an XF Falcon that emerged from the Broadmeadows factory with a...

Ford heaven. Since I don't have a truck anymore, I'll have the Mainline ute. For our US readers, this is basically a '56 Crown Vic based Ranchero. They came to this country as CKD (completely knocked down) kits from Canada which, as another British Commonwealth country, avoided some hefty import...

OK, I follow that now. Completely different down here in Oz. I'll talk about the process in the state of Victoria where I am but I don't think its significantly different in other states and territories. Contract and a bunch of other documentation is actually prepared, usually by the vendor's...

So what's to stop the vendor from selling it to someone else who is prepared to sign a contract? Maybe it's a buyer's market over there but any prospective buyer here using that scattergun approach would lose them all and forfeit any deposit in most cases. Just wouldn't happen here.

Certainly a lesson there. When I clicked on the link to the product you provided my security app blocked it. That would be enough for me.

Down here, well in Victoria where I am at least, there's no walking away. Contract becomes final and locked in 3 days after signing for a private sale or immediately if it's an auction. What we call the settlement period while the legal and technical stuff about transferring the land title is...

I've only wrestled with those washers a couple of times but no doubt I made the same mistake. What turns out to be the correct orientation seems a bit counter intuitive to me but that might be an aesthetic issue with the lip around the circumference facing out not looking as neat to me. Anyway...

Aren't those washers a pain?

The driveway looks good. Any concerns about it melting when it gets real hot up there?

Are those exhaust valves Varex items? I'm considering some of their mufflers.

I don't know much about small engines but very nice work.

That sure is a lot of work.

Whaddaya mean if I had a Holden? As if!

How 'bout that! We lived there from mid '85 until the end of '89. My second child was born in Canberra. We rented a place in Dryandra Street opposite Black Mountain reserve which was pretty nice.

As much as dive bombing a GM product is an attractive proposition, I'd probably draw the line at a kamikaze mission that might include my garage in the collateral damage.
