Granted we aren't coming this year cause of work commitments :(

Bugger.

It dropped all of its water on the way down, didn't it? :)

DCW242;119204 wroteI don't think I'll be able to make it this year, the 264 will only be back on the road around the weekend of the event, and the 240 is looking pretty crappy at the moment waiting for respray, plus I haven't had time to do my P plate test meaning I'd have to have someone to drive with. Both cars should be ready by next year though and if I find someone to drive the other I'll bring both.
Trophies look good James, I'm keen to see pics of the event.

I'm only going for the Saturday. Have you asked around to see if someone can hang with you for a day?

I won't be able to make it now unfortunately.

I offered to help him out with a lift & back, he'd just have to sort somewhere to stay.

Unfortunately I'm out, still trying to recover from last month's little cough. I think trying to do the trip over 4 days is just pushing it too much so I'll wish you all lots of fun.

Nope. Drove nice for most of the way. Had a hiccup with the clutch slave popping out cause I didn't put the circlip in all the way. Fixed that and it was go go go.

Was still two years ago. Still a shame you can't make it. The flywheel is almost ready...

New windscreen and tires going on tomorrow. Super keen.

Am pleased to say Shannons have agreed to support us again this year

Unfortunately I have work commitments in London and cannot be in attendance now.

Anybody else from Tasmania going who may be able to bring home two sway bars for me? Would be much appreciated.

Vee_Que

I can get them to Melbourne?

Hank now seems to be happy with its advanced H cam instead of kg8, torque down low, pulls high enough in the revs. I'm happy with it too.

VolvoMike

I've registered but now can't make it either. Hope it's a good weekend.

Dauntless

I'll genuinely take the KG8 and pay a fair price for it.

Also, confirming I can't make it, due to work commitments.

Yeah, Hank is a blast to drive now. Lots of smiles per mile now!
Thanks again for doing the work Alex.

It literally made the car undriveable with kjet. Would not idle well even with a vacuum tank. H cam does not have that issue. And his head has 38mm valves that are meant to be good for the cam.

Dauntless

Thanks for the warning, but I've already paid for it.

Good project to get it working by the sounds of it. For the 244 or still rocking a 740 as well?

I've had to move dinner from the Northo. They're having a lot of parties on that night, and the owner is really worried that they won't be able to serve our group fast enough. So I've moved it to the Benalla Golf Club Bistro at 6.45pm.
