the 1641 challenge hotrod

Dan ran some great times on Saturday & really settled into it in the afternoon ... well done matey!

Glad to hear she got you home without a hitch dude

It was funny as f*ck on Saturday morning when Dan & Graham swopped over the exhausts at 8.30am then fired it up ..... it was a case of wakey wakey campers in the Vzi area!!!!

I bet that made them REALLY popular!!!

Yes quite a few heads popped out of tents & campers including my mate who wondered what the hell was going on!

We're also going to have another low rider in the club as well ... in the shape of my mates T25 on hydros. He's going to come along to the next meet down the Tropicana. Unfortunately he's not got a computer, but I'll stich up a few pics of his van when I get a chance.

Rick, Is that the maroon T25 panel on hydros in Weston??? Who owns that now?? I saw it a few weeks ago turning into Mead Vale....

Yes, it's my mate 'Red' who owns it now
He's had it since last September, but i've not seen him in about 10 months till CTTP where I spotted him cruising up & down the beach lawns on his lowrider push bike.
He was gutted it was in the spray shop when CTTP was on
He's not got a computer so knew nothing about the cruise or the club until the other Sunday .... Dan & Graham met him at Big Bang as he came up with me & Sharon.
He's really up for the club & coming to as many events as possible this season ... so expect to see him at the Tuesday meet this month!

pissing off some of the members of vzi aint such a bad thing really

Rick, last time I saw the van it needed tidying, I guess that's what he has had done.
I know it has been round for years. I really like that van.
Another new memory eh?? Bloody Hell!!

checked the engine over today and found out that as i thought the carb linkage isnt adjusted properly so only getting about half to 3 quarter throttle from the pedal

but that made me well happy as that means the car can run times alot faster than the 18.5 second runs it did at big bang

found out why it was lower on the drivers side than on the passenger side.....


the front shocker has broke and the end has bent where the threads are

but its alright now as i fitted a new shocker and its all leveled up now

Good work bud, so whioch one is coming to tonights meet?
