hey everyone.  just another post to bump this up to the top.

I'm still looking!!!

The following is the actual transcript of a radio conversation between a u.s. naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland. Released by the chief of naval operations on October the fifth, 1995.


U.S. Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees south to avoid a collision.

Canadian reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

U.S. Ship: This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship, i say again divert your course.

Canadian reply:No. you divert your course.

U.S. Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!!

Canadian reply: This is a lighthouse.....your call....




Gota love the yanks.  Funny how things haven't changed in 50 years!!

I have seen it.

I thought it was a coke ad, with the guy that says dork.

I am not sure about "worth so much".

The $$$ value of anything is only what someone is willing to pay.  This probably ditates why you hardly ever get what you spent when selling a restored/modified car.  For that money people would do it themselves to know what had been done and to personalise their own way.  

Just my opinion.

I was having a flick through one of my dads fishing mags and there is an ad there for pink fishing line which shows one fe/fc (not sure) apparently towing another with the line.  The problem is the ad says the pink is the strongest line since 1898!!

is that a gold lambo diablo??

G'day everyone.

I was meaning to thank everyone who was at the NSW meeting for making me feel welcome .  It was really great to put some faces to names and also meet some other people who are not on the board.  I am definately looking forward to going again (work and uni permitting)and perhaps catching up for a bit longer (i didn't realise it was the AGM ).  Anyway cheers once again.

Chris

By the way i am still looking so if you hear of anything...

The other thing that i forgot to mention is that i think they play older movies.  It mentioned them showing saturday night fever on the opening night but i don't know if this was just for opening or a regular thing.

hang on one at a time.  stop rushing to make a post.

hahaha

well i thought it sounded like a good idea!!

any chance of posting some pics?



Cheers

Hey everyone.  I was just looking at the sydney morning herald website and i saw this article http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/05/07/1083911408938.html

Looks like they are going to be starting a drive in at olympic site at homebush.  There won't be any of the old boxes, replaced by fm radio frquency, but the waitresses will be dressed in "1950s hot pink tops, black mini skirts and stilettos." Sounds like all they need are some period cars, now where could you get those?  

I reckon it would be one hell of a destination to end a run at!!

Oh on the topic i was at the drive in last week and saw an awesome looking chopped yellow with flame pattern american?? classic car (i didn't get a chance to ask what it was).  Sure beat the hell out of all of those crx's and civics!!!

Oh it will only be running for 3 months unless they find a business partner!!

Hey guys.

I don't know if you have seen this before but i was sifting through ebay and found it.

Got to love it!!

the site looks awesome.  I really like what you have done with the members section.

not too sure about the backgound colour though...

well done.

sorry for the confusion.

yes w/ was meant to be with, having said that i wouldn't mind a wagon.

I would definately require nsw rego though as i don't want the hassle and associated dollars of a trip over the pits plus any associated enginners certs.

Thanks for the reply though as it is definately appreciated.

Oz_man (maybe that should be nsw_man!!)  

Hi everyone.

I am looking for a modified fc special w/ nsw rego.  I want a red motor, floor shift auto (maual considered) whilst retaining bench seat plus HR front end.  Otherwise the car must be in very good interior/exterior condition with no rust.

To contact me either post a reply or contact me (Chris) via email at hanaghan@optusnet.com.au

I might be interested leigh.

I would appreciate it if you could send me some pics of the car and damage.  my email address is hanaghan@optusnet.com.au

Cheers

Put it this way, you wouldn't miss me in a crowd. I'm 6'7"

Yeah its a damn shame that i hate basketball and love cars and motorsport!!

I am going to be looking at one fc on friday i was trying to find out if it could be done before i go and buy one.

Thanks for the replys everyone.

Thanks for the reply.

i'm not sure about the column shift manual but i think they did have a 4 speed column shift auto.  

If anyone has put one of these in or knows if you can it would be great. The other thing is that the lady who owned the car had the peddles lifted off the floor so she could reach them, how much movemnet is there in them as she didn't seem to know?

cheers

Its good to hear that i can move the seat as well.

actually i might have been a hz i'm not sure.
