So many cars so little time!
Re: Frankenstein's Trip to the Nationals
Hey Greg the left stunt is ok just the right one to do now and apparently Frank has his own mind
Frank say "apparently the fat old guy leaning on me has to come as well for some reason and if he stops complaining we'll both get there hopefully"
We are really looking forward to Narioopta Oh so is Robyn

Re: Frankenstein's Trip to the Nationals
Hey Clay yes we did over 900ks and don't worry Stonys wagon has an RB30 in it mate I think he sucks me along in his wake.
No Skylab parts Blacky but I think there are some aliens live out here
It's a very cold morning here in Balladonia, just having coffee before getting ready to start another 700 odd Ks to Nullarbor
The guys at Southern Cross Tyre and Auto were awesome they ended up making 2 bolts and fitting them for Stony only delayed us an hour or so but we ended up driving the last 90ks in the dark which wasn't really that great but amazingly very little road kill along the side of the road, we were told this was because a lack of rain out here for a long time.
Any way will update tonight, Frank says see you soon.
