Irish in Oz

@grog
I'm a flathead fan but not the Harley type, I love the 50's era Dodge 6 have a few of them.

Im pretty much up on them Irish. My Old Man restored cars for his last 30 yrs. Had some beauties. His 1947 Dodge Fluid Drive, manual but with torque converter.Push clutch in, select low gear, let clutch out,didnt move until revs rose. Won best Chrysler Australia maybe 1990. Side valve Ford V8, could remove one head, it just kept running on other bank. Side valve Hardlys, amazing also. GSX has twin cams, they had 4.  :cool: I have lots of old car stories, could bore lots of people.

I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Not today, but last week I saw a woman on an E-Scooter bombing along on the pavement.

Not unusual these days, but the stupid mare also had two kids under 5 clinging onto it for dear life standing in front of her on said contraption :furious: :furious:
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

Bit less mocking might be nice .....she's only trying to save the planet.
Probably one of our Green MP's   :facepalm:

Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Saw a gsx1400 on a small Greek island: Kalymnos.
Doubt he uses all 6 gears because the island is 20km long / 110km2 big.

I took the clubbie for a drive to Berrima today for our usual last Sunday gathering & not only did Bob have someone drive his Caterham but his GT40 made an appearance. Shit it's nice & I want one. If only I could fit in.

That maroon car in the background is a pristine original & very rare Aston Martin Lagonda.
If you look like your passport photo then you're too sick to travel.

Great pic's Pete. GT40 sure looks like a race car.
