Hey Stu! Yeah, apparently each newsagency only gets a few copies of the Annual for some reason... Theres some pretty sweet rods in there too...

Next Monday the photographer is going to send me all the digi files of all the pics he took so I will be sure to upload them...!

Hey Paul! Just bought my copy of the annual. The newsagents in Wagga mall has a whole pile of them! Great article and a job well done. But you could have knocked me over with a feather when I turned to page 52 and saw my engine builder and old family friend Eric Worner! I was only on the phone to him last week and he said nothing about his So-Cal special being in Street Machine.

I know it was a great article (I'm biased) but Wagga is a bloody long way to go from Sandringham to get a copy!!!!!!

I'll never fprget the episode of Classic Restos with the so-cal special! Eric sure can drive, was great watching him on the track. Plus I'm biased on the driveline... 8)

Hey WB. Yeah mate it is :lol: Was there for my little bro's graduation from RAAF Wagga as an Av Tech. Had an awesome tour of the hangars and engineering workshops. The ignition system for a Macchi jet fighter was like two arc welders!

Eric's very handy around flatheads DR. By memory he can build supercharged versions for around 6 if he knows you ;). His completely restored '34 is beautiful.

I felt quite lucky and relieved to find a copy of the annual. couldn't get an '09 one (if anyone has one i'd love to get my hands on it).
Spent half a day looking for it, only to realise it was the 21st and of course it's not released till the 22nd :lol: first shop i went in to on the 22nd had it :lol:

good onya paul, must make you proud

Yep DR, he'll do it for you, but I should have mentioned that you need to supply the blower :( :oops: . Eric's retired but, as you could imagine, he has a whole flood of work - I've been on a waiting list.
