Title: Whatever happened to Torque FC?
Post by: Sideplate on April 11, 2008, 07:50:23 PM
FE Hotrod and I had a bit to do with him and his dad.  They had a LOT of old holden stuff, he fell off the end of the earth!!!  I just remember the trouble he used to stir up on here.  Might make a visit to his house with a pocket full of cash i think soon............... :o

Hi Gents
Maybe Torque has attended enough swap meets IOT collect every thing required to restore his car and
is now spending his time in his restoration workshop building his dream instead of wasting time stirring us up.

It happens.  What about 20.4seconds.  He was really into it, over 300 posts, a great FE wagon story and then nothing. No reply to PMs etc - just disappeared.

Hmmmm  Jamie and I were good mates with Nick(20.4) but he also fell off the end of the earth.  Hotrod stills calls him and it rings out.  he cdut the wagon up and thats where it probably still is.  Some fads come and go but mine started at 8 and really have never looked back

If I disappear off this forum for more than 10 hours or without warning it can only mean one of the following:

1,   I have gone to Holden Heaven,
2,   I am at the other Holden Heaven "FE FC Nationals"
3,   My PC has shit its self, or
4,   Work has sent me to some remote location with no internet access, and worst of all no Holdens.

Funny you should mention Norm, when the NSW club announced Orange for the 2010 nationals and Gnoo Blas I thought of Norm and his FE Racer.
How cool would it be to have Norm lead us all on a lap around the track.

Cheers Jim

I remember him from when i was a kid, his car used to be in the blactown festival in the early eighties.
 funny thing is i too thought straight away of norm when i heard about the next nationals.

Hi Guy's
Yep , I'm still around but don't get on the Net very much other than researching some medication they put me on 14 months ago & everything went "pear shaped".

After Kiwi rang , thought I'd better log on to say G'day , & had forgotton till now (one of the side effects) "Short term memory loss" afraid I'm not kidding .

Haven't driven a car of any type since March 2007 (mrs said) lucky I'm not on the road , Huh .

Still got the Yellow Beast (yep Craig , still sitting where it was when you came up  :-\ . ) .

I'm putting a Post-it note on my puter to remind me , must give Harko a ring too . I'll have to do some Back reading to catch up .

Take Care Guy's & I'll try & get back on soon

Norm
