Emu,

As to catching on real quick, I'm learning from a couple of feathered masters at the game.

As to reaching Guru status, I don't think I have that much bulls*** in me!!!

looks like im guna have to pay martin a visit in south australia to teach him a lesson upset the kiwi and the kiwi will visit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Emu]

Sure you do Martin!!  ;D

[Martin]

This is a little-known fact:  The WA Dept Agriculture pays shooters in the SA/WA border region to patrol and shoot starlings heading west as they are an imported species (there are no starlings in WA & they don't want them). (This is true - I know a couple of the shooters personally from living over that way a few years ago)   :P

What's known even less is that the SA government has patrols to shoot on sight any imported species coming the other way.  In short, Kiwis KEEP OUT.    ;D

I think they should buy all them croweating kiwi shooters thicker glasses , Kalgoorlie is full of them ! ;D

[-KIWI-]

martin is it true that south australians are proof that taswiegens can swim !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Martin]

No intermingling of the blood lines here, Kiwi.  We're all of pure non-convict stock, industrious, pure in through word & deed (!!!) (we have the City of Churches, not the city of shearing sheds), and law abiding (notwithstanding a few bizarre murders - but at least we have a barrel of fun.   ;D

Oh poop!  How can I now admit that my son is marrying a Launceston girl in October?!   :-X

[Martin]

Nuttin' wrong with our glasses, Blacky.  They get to Perth, realise the error of their ways and start heading for SA; they get turned back at the border and congregate in Kalgoorlie.

At least with so many Kiwis in Kalgoorlie, it raises the average IQ of both NZ and Kalgoorlie.

[blacky]

The car that started my incurable addiction with early Holdens , my beloved (but sadly thrashed to death ) EK sedan had "shake rattle & roll" on the bootlid

[blacky]

Nuthin` wrong with kiwis Martin , I married one !

[customFC]

Hey Blacky.
Nice to see a post that is relevant to the thread.
Interesting you should mention Shake Rattle and Roll on your ol' EK, there is an EK running around NSW with the same on the boot. A former club member also had similar on the boot of his red FC sedan back in the early 80's, before the EK.

G'day Guys

Thought I'd throw a real late one in here...  I have not named my FC, but when I joined the ACT Club, members christened it the "green limousine".  That was until the "incident" in 1994 when my FC chucked its tailshaft and tried to pole-vault me down the Barton Highway.  As rumour spread interstate, I picked up the name Tailshaft & my FC was often referred to as "Tatiana".  Which suits me, coz I don't mind Russian chicks  :)

In recent years, a lot of new club members have been confused at meetings when people refer to their cars by name (usually a human name).  You sometimes hear the newbies at club runs, asking about these other members that they've heard about but never met...

[Martin]

What have you got under the lid, Tim?  Somehow I don't think the Grey would wind out that fast.

[gp]

Tim was travelling downhill at the time! But the green limousine does have one of those "Nasco Motorsport" (Stock) engines  ;D

Cheers,

Graham.

Damn, I nearly fell off me chair that is my old car !!!
 I bought it off the bloke who did the special effects for the movie "running on empty" he ended up with all the cars out of the movie including the chev. A mate of mine worked for him and I used to hang around the workshop where they kept the cars.
 It would have been 1982 and I was 17 when I bought it . I think I blew about 5 gearboxes before the old grey threw a leg out of bed then it got broken into and the seats and a few engine parts , twin carby setup , etc were stolen and I sold it . The last I heard of it it was sitting in someones front yard out Blacktown way (this all happened in Sydney) with grass growing through the floor.Do you know who owns it now?

[blacky]

 Just had a closer look at that photo and I dont think it is the same car , mine had slightly flared guards but it is mighty close , those were the days , sob sob dribble etc......
