Hey Norm,
Looking hot!
How much work has ya daughter put in? I'm hoping u answer "Heaps!!" so I can show Sarah.
My Sarah thinks she's the driver and I'm the pit crew or something!
Might have to pack Sarah in "Hilda" and come and watch u guys race. Shouldn't be too long now it seems.
Keep the updates coming.

Hi All
Steve (digger) Think it's FC dash , i'm embarressed a bit , never really taken much notice , normally keep an eye on the Taco & temp :-[
Emu , mmm they must be all "tarred with the same brush" , Ashlea comes home from school and say's "dad whats new today" grrrrrr , also she'd get her hands dirty :-/
Kiwi, your welcome anytime ? ? / geez did I say that , what have I DONE ;D
Chris , Guess what club we gotta join , "Southern Districts Motorsport Ass." Queanbeyan 8) Also gotta get a C.A.M.S. Lic. Most runs are at their track at "Fairbairn" or Wakefield Park
*** Car off to mechanics tomorrow for final check over
Norm :)
G'Day Norm
Let us know when you are running and I would say half of Canberra FC owners will be there,myself included. :D

  Norm  :)
good news  norm
Couldnt get a better number than 59 Norm "Period Perfecto"
Just on an off thought Norm ,I dont think ive asked this before but does the car have a name ? Fighting Chance, First Car Friggin Chariot hehe
Everyone seems to have a name for their cars in here but cant say I remember you mentioning it before - but then again you know what my memory is like huh.
By the way realy looking forward to seeing it again .
Oh I hope your there too hehe
Hey Harko
  Yep  she's got a name , specially when I jam my fingers , hit my head or something don't go right..
   F@######  Car ......... ;D
 Or just " The Old Girl" ..  mm not the Mrs .. ;)
 Car No , thanks to Craiga , I was thinking 1 , 11 or 88 , doesn't matter which way the car is with those numbers :o Â
Norm  :)
PS Car now has "Autopro" sticker across the boot , might work a name out from that . Â Â "the old PRO. ? "
maybe , but don't think it was ever down at "Kings Cross" Â ;D
What about "69"
It doesn't matter which way up ya r with that one either.
Then again, its been done to death, so to speak.
Emu - Bird speaking shite to get to Guru status.
Norm
Good luck with it all And remember its not how you run the race, It's bloody winning the race that counts ;)
Regards
Sarge
Sarge,
were those words of encouragement genuine, or were they motivated by a desire for quick posts in order to beat me to Guru status?
Now Now Emu we cannot been seen to be stealing ever topic on this forum just to reach a new level ;). of course they where word's of genuine encouragement for Norm. If this places me closer to Guru so be it i will just have to take it as it come's.
Regards
Sarge
P.S Norm I meant every word, you go show them all just what an old Holden can do.
Norm i know these are the wrong rim size but it could be cheaper to get these tyres and then scrape up some rims to suit as race tyres are very expensive,i found these set of slicks on ebay tonight,ebay item number 2458436190
Thanks Sarge , will remember that , hahaha
Emu / Sarge, I don't mind ya postin, adds a bit of fun ;D
Nicko , thanks mate , will check it out , I could go to 14's if I have to
Norm :)

258 ya plucked chicken
Norm,here's the race seat i was talking about, it has the race harness holes on side and above shoulders and has nice simple 1inch box tubing frame that will adapt easily to your floor pan
Hey Nicko
Thats a good looking seat. I do have one on the L/H side , but it's not as good as that. Will see what sort of $$ I've got left after this weekend , and will contact you.
Norm :)
