Re: matt black fb ute
3.36 it is then, i hope that will be a bit quieter at higher speeds. Right now it doesn't matter that i don't have a stereo cos i wouldn't be able to hear it anyway.

Sure do, likes going real fast and loves muscle cars. Went to school with his brother, we all grew up in the same neighbourhood. How do you know him?UTEK wrote:Hey DR, do you know Derrick with a shop down in Rosebud?

Re: matt black fb ute
Well, short storey- i had a HT prem which i sold to my mate. Derrick is one of my mates clients (tattoos), and now Derrick works on the Prem for my mate. I've been the taxi down to Rosebud a couple of times when the Prem had to be dropped off or picked up. We got to talking about EK's and he mentioned one of his mates had a white sedan with a candy lace-work roof, pretty sure there isn't many of them getting 'round!
Re: matt black fb ute
Yep, pretty sure you're right. Derrick is a crazy ass ranga though.... Don't ever get in his daily driver, can't keep up think he's back in a Subaru. In his previous daily, a Lancer he scared the crap out of his apprentice. Great mechanic though. Back in the mid to late 80's had an LC GTR Torana that ran 13's with a six in it.

Re: matt black fb ute
Haha, ok point taken. Thats one hell of a Torrie, and if that's the case i'm NEVER going to get in his Super Bee- then again i think i'd actually love to take a ride in it, just maybe not with him driving.

Bummer, although as a consolation you could drive in front of me for a bit as payback from the nats trip up

Re: matt black fb ute
done! shit it feels good to solve a problem!
problem in honeypot, shifter had come out of the notch in steering tube, hence no first or reverse.
new leads, replaced a headlight... hit the road tomorrow, lookout!
one more thing. what temp should a grey run
at? mines running between 80c - 90c ?
