Sorry guys, been real busy with hsc and real slack, should have done this a month or two ago. Well the good news is that i got her regoed and have been driving it around for a while now, not sure is steve jackson or ash have seen it around. It flies, does the garunteed 130km/h top speed, not a smidge more though :( . I have had the usual run of the mill problems, break downs in the main street, broken speedo cable, break downs on the entry and exit into the main carpark of the shoping centre, holding up traffic. But once the little problems went, it runs like a dream, it leaks oil from the rear main, and have to drop the motor out to fix that :( . It is going on its first major run this weekend on a rally to tamworth. I also had a major malfunction about a week ago, I had the rear bearing in the gearbox lock up, shattering the extension housing, snapping the main shaft in the gearbox and snaping the front yolk off the driveshaft, causing the driveshaft to hit the ground once, and make the loudest noise ive ever heard, it fortunatly jumped back up and got caught on the handbreak cable, holding it off the ground until i could stop, my best mate was in the passenger seat and i think he went that close to shitting himself it wasnt funny, so did i though :( . it was a big weekend job to fix that, but it is all smooth motoring again. Well enough of that, here are some pics. Please tell us what you think.

Exactly right mate :thumbsup: It takes a man who is pretty sure of himself to drive a pink car + chicks dig it.

One of mine is completely "Cameo Beige" like your ute, and another is "Desert Blush" & "Limestone Beige" (plum and nipple pink) :lol:

Keep us updated with your adventures young Fud.
