I'm not surprised.

Robin

Thanks Richard,

That was much easier.

Hi Richard,

I am having no luck at all ordering a 5XL Sports Shirt. I can get a child's size 14 to add to the cart but the mens just opens yet another paypal window that shows I have ordered nothing. If I try again the same thing happens, another paypal window opens showing I have ordered nothing. If I do the kids shirt again the shopping cart opens and shows that I have ordered 2 kids shirts. Can you please help?

I am also still waiting on my 5XL Official Event Shirt as I was supplied the wrong size on the day and the size I did order would have been too small as well. Will this be coming as part of your approaching order?

Robin

Well, I had almost as much response from this ad as I did from Carsales. Although I did get 2 phishing emails through Carsales. So it has gone to the trade.

You don't have to put photos on Photobucket. When posting you reply there is a black dot on the left with the words "Add image to post". Click that and browse to select your photo and it will download. Remember to click the "family safe" button. A small photo appears on your thread which can be opened to show the large one.

The price has fallen to $25990.

It is time to update as the lease has run out. We have for sale a December 2006, bought 2007, VE SS Commodore Automatic sedan, Red Hot colour with matching red interior inserts, mats and gear knob. Travelled 82000km. Asking $27990 o.n.o. The car is located in SA.

Send me a message if you want more info.

Thanks Robin

[Excellent!]

Made it home all OK today apart from one hell of a cold that started Monday night and is still getting worse. Only car problem was an arm fell off the wiper motor. The Nationals were great. 2 laps of Bathurst. Excellent!

The Sophie Lee is back together and going. Now to run it in and go to Orange. Oh yes, and pay for it.

Robin

Thanks John. The guy has replied that he will post items after all.

Robin

The parts including a set of rings, possibly made to order, have arrived and it should be going together today, all going well.

Thanks John for the offer to pick up the rings and I still may take you up on that as I may find myself in this position again with such a fleet of cars if that is OK.

Under seller's payment instructions it says: "contact within 48 hours of close or item will be relisted pickup only payment through bank deposit or cash on pickup" I have asked him anyway if he will post them.

Thanks again and see you all in Orange. The town not the colour.

Robin

Thanks guys. I am pretty sure that the old girl will be going.

I have had a look at the ebay ring set and whilst it would be handy it is listed as local pick up only.

I took the Sophie Lee , so named by my friend and restorer as the car is Castle Grey, for a service 3 and a half weeks ago and she is still is not back.

She was blowing some smoke after a down hill run and the oil light came on when braking sometimes. We thought the valve seals might be suspect. No 1 had the seal changed OK but 2 and 3 had bubbles appearing in the radiator from the compressed air used to hold the valves up. So head off, sump off, pistons out. Sump full of sludge, oil pump worn, ring gaps too big, No 5's ring gaps all lined up in a row, head gasket had it, head to be faced, No 3 bore rusty and we could not find anyone with rings for a 132.

So if we manage to get her all back together Sophie will be bringing us to the nationals as planned. If not, back to the drawing board.

Robin

Good to see you have all your plans happening but your leaving 2 years too early for the 14th Nationals.

We will be travelling in the second group and we'll meet you at Mt Barker interchange as I assume you are going via Pinnaroo from the distance you have quoted.

Robin

Actually, after today, there are only 6 working days left before 31/1/10 as the entries close on a Sunday which means they really close on Friday 29/1/10 for posted entries.

We're coming but I still cannot decide which car to bring or if we will fit all the gear in one!

Robin

PS, I have been too busy building my new shed.

Thanks Ken.
I do have a wagon that I can get the left rear quarter panel from, in fact I thought I already had one cut out but it is the right side.

As for the Detroit Kit, I have picked one up that appears to be complete, but if I can get some bits to complete this one that would be even better.

Thanks Robin

No shed is ever big enough. I am builing another shed now, 16m x 9m or a 50 x 30 on the old scale and it is already all spoken for.

Robin

Finally some photos. The old girl has seen some tuff times. Plenty of work to be done on this one, but now I have completed the set.
