Oh you're very lucky my internet service had been wiped out by a big storm down here until this morning (local tower copped a hammering by hail good thing I was up in the southern highlands eh?) so I could'nt answer these derogatory claims relating to me of owning a Morris ICEAGE! I'm 5 foot nuthin' & still had a hard time fitting in the door!!
There IS a forum member that does own a black one of these..is'nt there Pete???

I had to follow these prime examples of British motoring history back from Bowral to Rusty's home at a huge rate of knots (89 kmh down the freeway ..according to the speed on the sat-nav)..makes a day trip just going down to the shops. The only good thing I can say about the green one is it had the best backoff note I've ever heard.."MMMMOLOMOPMOPMOPMOP"...sounded like those plastic pipe things that the kids used to have in the 70's that you swung around your head and it made an annoying loud noise!

...Axeman's car when incognito...

Pete there was a Minor 1000 running about Wagga in the early seventies with a red hot 179 in it, the engineering was questionable but man did that thing put a lot of the local owners of hot HR's etc to shame

Wonder where it ended up

a mate of mine had one with a hot grey in it and it was quite a rocket aswell
i nearly bought one with a 327 in it, it was legaly regoed many years ago but the guy pulled it apart to tub it and let the rego run out and the RTA said not a chance we're letting that back on the road had rego plates MM 327
we had a chopped 4 door that smooth customs did the chop on it had a hotty datto 1200 5 speed and tall diff gears it was good for 200kmh funniest day was driving FAST beside a LHD ferrari so i was basically side by side with the driver he just kept looking at me and the car with this face then looking back at his speedo we were well over 160kmh admitedly he gave me a thumbs up and then took off like i was standing still

Here's some of my happy snap's of the day...

Hampton Bridge in Kangaroo Valley..IN SUN LIGHT!!! It's the first time in 20 odd years I've gone through K.V. without it raining!!

Now at the show...

Took this for Axeman reference...

Myn Got!! an HB Torana,,I did'nt think any of these survived?

Anyone want custom FB/EK guard vents???

This is exactly the same model BSA that my old man used to do dispatch riding on during the war (before he was shipped out to Port Morsby...

Could'nt find agent Smart anywhere?? Must have missed him by that much!

Poor man's FB/EK....

First time I've seen a Force 7 in the flesh...not a bad looking motor car..

I was going to stir Paul Kelly and tell him Pete just bought the Force 7..but I could'nt keep a straight face!

Get a load of this Custom Morris Minor 2 door coupe..lots of work on making this go together..like the California Kit.



If anyone is going to make another "Woody" take a look at the Minor wagons and do something similar..very Cool.


Nice EJ sedan...but not a Prem in sight..Pete must have bought 'em all!!

Zephyr..not quite a wind...not quite a car!!

last but not least..saw this FJ in Wandandian Wreckers on the way up but took the photo on the way home...all it needs are BAD-179 plates...I love this one!

that's what we need a thread on the embarressing cars we've owned
can anybody beat a marina or a nissan cedric but it was cool in it's own "special" way plus it had a 161 red in it

Thanks for posting, looks like a nice variety of cars
