I dragged this Morry out of the tip at Coober Pedy , we got it running except for the brakes and beat up on it all weekend and drove it on the trailer to come home :thumbsup:

This thing is a cack - the Albany boys built it , its a 1995 Fairlane floorpan and running gear with a'57 Chev sedan body dropped over it :shock:

Image

Boris gave the Rambler a pizzling all weekend

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Looks like a great event. Makes me want to build a hack just to do it.

Is that your Indian on the transporter Blacky?

Cheers,

John

No mate , its a Triumph from memory , one of the guys came off it that year in a big way and hurt himself pretty substantially , as did one guy this year when he crashed a Deltek Rockhopper - broken collarbone , 2 broken ribs and a punctured lung :shock:
