Hi Rodney

also working on a few mods, waiting for parts from the states, so should be in paint early next year then back to my shed for the re assembly and planning to be back on the road for the next moca concourse .......hopefully

I'll be laid up at the Wesley Hospital Glenn in for a full hip replacement that's what happens when you've run Top Loaders all your life 

[GLENN 70]

Lou thats not good ,sure its not just getting old mate    .Hope all goes well buddy . 

[66vert]

[LEE H 69]

that's not good news Lou, hope you get a quick recovery

[66vert]

Thanks Lee

Lou, we've not met, but I work in the health industry( X-Ray) and wish you good fortune. Hip replacement surgery is common and very successful these days and easier to recover from than Knee replacement, so I'm told by the Surgeons I work with. Before you can spit, you'll have clearance to drive again. Remember this: Growing old may be compulsory, but growing up is definitely optional.    Good luck mate.
Cheers, Ron B

Pedro ,what do you mean most of them ,i did not loose one race out of 17 and got fastest car of the day . I recorded a quicker time than that AC cobra race car in the drag racing .The one that gave me a hard time on our  1st run was that new supercharged camaro ,i got him by 1 car ,but he said he would dust me 2nd run ,ha got him by 3 cars .A lot of cars had big HP and just smoked there tyres and i was gone .

Congrats on the trophy ... great work!

And Lee ... the guy driving that Cobra is a tosser. Last meeting he was trying to set the land speed record in pit lane ... absolute jerk.
