Given I’m also getting a car trailer the quad bike concept has quickly morphed from farm utility to trail riding . I used to have an Enduro bike and spent some time thrashing it about in deepest Wales in the UK so I’ve got some idea of how it all works. 

So what’s the go for both jobs? I’m tipping 2 stroke is off the list. Second hand? New? Best brands? Sizes? Roll over hoops ? What else?

If you’ve done all this before then please let me have your wisdom.

TIA.

Can’t wait to go ‘farming’

IF IT ALL WORKS PROPERLY.

So, has anyone got experience and views on this technology?  The property ain't no flat domestic lawn but at the same time there are several sections (the bits near the house) where it's not that challenging.

@Redracn you know you know about this stuff.

This week I first needed to replace the front wheel bearings on the 911 so I could put wheels on it and move it out of the way. I then got into doing a stocktake on my Z to see what it needed, and start formulating a plan for the build.

Here is the episode.

I'm sure we all come across silly things on the internets....Sharing is Caring!!

Here's a kick-off......man locks himself outside of his hotel room....without clothes on...

Post your Random Funnies here!

I wanted to get your opinions, and possibly your feedback, on whether or not I should get paint protection film or paint protection ceramic coating.

I live out towards Penrith, and a majority of my drive takes me through backroads full of stones and rocks, and I was wondering what you would recommend for someone who is trying to keep the paint clean on his Macan. 

I've done a bit of research on them both, so I am fairly well read on both products, but I would love to get a second opinion from someone who has actually gone and gotten either paint protection film or ceramic coating.

Cheers!

It's well documented that some people are afflicted by boost disease and just cannot get enough.

After an engine failure running too much boost a piston ring failed and caused this

A new engine was needed

along with mechanical fuel pump

and other goodies, fat rods

vernier adjustable cam drive

Cosworth F1 flat top pistons

copper head gasket with fire rings and cylinder head porting with modified injector bosses

standard crankshaft balanced and dowelled

Atomic race series Hi-Mass harmonic balancer

Stage 5 camshafts and 14.3 mm headstuds

engine installation

It's expected that the engine will make in excess of 1350 horsepower when tuned to run ethanol accompanied by this turbo

More updates to follow.

So far i've found this but yeah no idea how decent it is...

Also had a bit of a play with an 2005 Gransport,  wow what a sound.  Under $50k, a lot of fun

I have decided to build some short term projects alongside my long term ones. These will be slightly more simple, rolling resto's. Tidy them up, and drive them for a while and them move them on and experience something else.

So that brings me to this project. I have just bought myself a 1971 Super Bug. I have very little experience with Beetles, but I am keen to learn (and it is aircooled of course ).

It should be fun, and I am looking forward to watching it all come together to match the picture in my head. 

The above photo is the family car preparing for a road trip to destination unknown, date unknown but probably late 1970s.  Authentic instagram look not done by filters.  Sadly I know the vehicle in question is deceased, left to rot in a car yard.  The sound of that buzzy glorious injected straight six, rich red interior and massive steering wheel are etched into the memory.

Show us your favourite Benz pictures!

Some interesting stuff, considering most people think there were only Citroens and Renaults on the streets along with a zillion motor cycles

A couple of 1500 kacklewagens, renault dauphine?, an original Datsun Bluebird, Holden with a yellow Alfa sports,  some yank tanks outside the Caravelle, with a Holden Brougham in the background,  

Mighty Mustang Fastback, something that resembles a Ford Consul or Zephyr, Jeep or International troop carrier,  Pontiac GTO ? on the back of a tow truck and a nice little  Kharman Ghia.

I was always amazed at how some of the cars got there..

The last photo shows two trucks of a convoy of South Vietnam soldiers (ARVN) heading out of town.  

There was not a rifle amongst them.

We have a few on another thread, so why not.

This is my cat "Puss".

She was a stray,

With a bit of time she is now a great friend.

I was hoping that someone is able to go and pick it up and give him the cash, its only $100, & i will reimburse them asap. So its to pick up the watch, pay the seller and ship the watch off to me in Gold Coast. Please PM if anyone is able to assist. Thanks, Sohan 

What she is after is old Rolls Royce's or Jaguars or Mercedes etc. If you know anyone or have any leads please post here.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

John

Thought we could have our very own "VENT".  Keep it clean!

I'll start it....

Has anyone seen the St George advertisement on TV where there is a little girl in a dragon suit telling you how to start a business?  Am I the only one who wants to give her a good slap!

End result is I bought this 1992 JDM (turbo MR2's were not imported by Toyota) SW20 in Queensland last Friday. I tested it out by driving it over 1900km back home via the furnace that is inland NSW! Kidneys got a workout on the bumpy roads with stiff suspension as did the air conditioner with the temps being in the 40's!

Some modifications have been already made ( Link plug in ECU running 14 psi. Tein coilovers, front Wilwood brakes, gfb blow off valve and 3"turboback exhaust ) which has the car comfortably putting out 234 hp at the rear wheels.

I had originally planned to strip the car I bought out and fit a half cage, race seat etc But as it is such a very clean unmolested example I will leave much as it is. Biggest tweaking will be the suspension and wider rubber with a track focus in mind. If I get the racing bug bad I will then consider a race only car!

Had a ball there, although it was a tad hot......

There was no shortage of Aussie Flags, 4WD's and V8 Utes.   Plus it was the B&S ball to be held on the Saturday Night.

The old Diggers....

A military Pipe Band.   These guys are off to the Edinburgh Tattoo later this year.

Hot work, doing this stuff.    Hopefully they would have had a few cool refreshers after the parade.

Well Done COROWA, not a protester to be seen...

Probably be back there again next year....

I see a few of these info labels for the windscreen being sold. Inspired by the fear people have of forgetting to renew rego on time.

If you create and account with service nsw they txt you in advance with reminders repeated. Also enables you to renew online.

Spirit of Racing are proudly sponsoring the Group S class at Bathurst and will be having a trade stand in the Group S paddock.

Please come down and say hello as it will be a great opportunity to meet and have chat.

See you all soon - not long to go.......

All original - everywhere, 99% rust free. Its had a paint touch up on one rear guard, but thats it - Paint is amazing for a 42 year old car - especially one of these!

The 351/5.8 litre motor has never been out of the car - it still has its original fuel pump!

Owning another one of these after 25 years, is a real trip down memory lane & I think they are very nice to look at too.

 I'd like to start by saying a massive thanks to Dave (Hughesy) for his assistance with the steering wheel today with calling the seller and organising collection. Many thanks fella, it is VERY much appreciated. I'd also like to thank the other guys that had offered to do the same on my behalf. It means more than you can imagine to have like minded people offering some help.

 JNR356 (Mark) for all of his extremely experienced advice over the years. If you want the RIGHT advice, contact him first and listen to what he has to say, as he has been there, done that.

 There is a few others in the past who have offered their experienced advice, and all of you have been amazing in one way or another, and put a smile on my face

Or you can just tell my what your favourite watch is.

Not necessarily watches by Porsche design.

I found this classic pic of Steve McQueen wearing a Heuer Monaco.
