Forget race cars. Bendigo had a holden day at racecourse today, was some nice cars getting around old statesman,s lc/lj torana,s.

Anyone else watching the V8's? It's a boring old race today, there is obviously some good driving out there but it is just cars going around in a circle at the moment.

I was in several taxi's over the weekend.

They weren't racing.

However we have got a cab driver to pull off a line locker before.

Is a line locker some kind of footballer? Did that make him smile or did he get really mad when he woke up in the middle of it?

 

[Dave]

Nope. Foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator.

Get the Mrs to get a video of you trying it Tony.

Well I suppose that's better than being in several divvy vans, but from what you told me that was only last weekend

Pull off a line locker in a cab? What sort of cabs do you have up there, most of our cab drivers have enough trouble finding one pedal at a time let alone both.

Tough Dog front sus has arrived. Canopy frame completed and painted. Canopy roof bent and ready to fit, canvas next. UHF maybe going in this weekend.

Divvy vans, my memory sucks. Cant remember what I did a week ago.

Most of the cabs up here are Falcons, they'll do it.

Divvy vans, my memory sucks.

The modern divvy van is some heavy fibreglass body on the back of various vehicles. Being last aware of the old steel cage construction, we initially thought the police must have suddenly enlarged their dog squad with luxury kennels on wheels.

Apparently they are banned from chases as they have a tendancy to roll over on the holden/ford chassis they are attached to.

Ahhhh the dog box.

Gotcha. Na, never been arrested.

Despite what Krafty thinks. Done some stupid shit when I was younger, but never got caught.

Things like bending street signs etc.

Has anyone got some fuses I can borrow

Over the last 5 years or so my cars have had just about every fuse ever made in the damn things yet now I want some of the bigger blade fuses do you think I can find my stash of the bloody things. I've got enough here somewhere that I should never run out of any size but I can't find the big blade fuses, guess I'm going to have to go and visit SuperCrap.....there goes my day!

 

[siringo]

Just buy a bag of mixed nails ;-)

 

[KraftyPg]

Now there is an idea, I don't need to drop as many IQ points going into the hardware shop as I do going into SCA.

 

[siringo]

Yep and when they blow you can rip 'em out with a hammer!

 

[KraftyPg]

As long as the hammer has an insulated handle

 

[terryc]

do you think I can find my stash of the bloody things.

lol.I'm forever tidying up by merging all the stashes together then putting them in a safe place and then promptly forgetting where I put them. So you buy another lot.

You are obviously not positioning the hammer the correct way. The zap helps you pull the nail out.
