Yeah, Blackstack...
...although Gary's would have sucked the headlights out of Cheap'n'Nasty! Don't think they ever got the bugs sorted out of it!

Weren't they the first disposable camera

If not should of been..
My Aunty had the first poladroid, you now the instant print version, great camera at the time, but the film nearly cost as much as the camera.

hi Guys, & Gals of course

I have an FB race car in the build, picked up some fiberglass gaurds off Bill in Melb last Fri , thanks Bill(actually he was fishing in NT so got them off his partner), spotted our memeber in Junee on the way through even!, anyway back to the car, I have a full chassis FB, red with white flash, tubs, four link 9", full cage and so on, not much left of the orginal car bit it still looks the goods, picked up the block a couple of weeks back and will start shortly on engine, we have a turbo 383 Holden, shooting for 800-900hp and the obligatory powerglide, looking for 8's. Oh and also have a fiberglass bonnet. Does anyone know the where abouts of a fiberglass bootlid??? have been racing my HG Panelvan for a decade or so in S/St so this will be a big step up.
