Who's that trouble-maker standing behind the orange ute?  Some pretty eye-catching FCs there. Very nice... RET |

well the guy at work said his mate with the wagon is called Mich, Mich from brookvale, apparently he is a frequent on this forum, must be a lurker good secret keeper, apparently he took it for a drive last week and scared shit out of himself when he put his foot down. it looks very "MUSCLE MACHINES" style.
Mich, are you out there?

 Hi All, Can you imagine the sunvisor staying put if he really put his foot into it. Nice pics Alex and some very nice cars. Cheers Rusty

Hey Leon
Your mate at work sure has a big mouth!!
As for the owner of the wagon, I believe he is a member of our club and a member on the forum. Just because he isn't on here raving about building his wagon, doesn't make it a secret. Just makes him different to you!!
Regards
Alex

well we are a bit the same these days because i dont really put updated pictures of my car on here anymore  if you are one of the few on here that want to see pics, look on other forums. the guy at work isnt really my mate, just some guy who is a mate of this mich guy and yeah, he said he was a club member too, i just thought before anyone started bagging the hole in the bonnet and stuff i might let it be known it was a forum user so the usual shit doesnt happen with comments, sorry if i blew his secret. I'll get up the guy at work tommorow for telling me shit and tell him to just keep talking about his old datsuns again. |

Hey no-name,quite obviously it was me that mentioned about the hole in the bonnet and I was merely suggesting that in my opinion I would have tried to keep the intake under the bonnet.Something I may not have mentioned strongly enough is that I absolutely love the look of this car because it has the attitude of the big tubs but such a stock looking body.I hope the owner gets a lot of cred for such a nice job.... |

Hey Mitch.
Your wagon looked great.
Right at home amongst the show cars.
The display could be seen from across the room.
I had several people ask me if I had "checked out the wagon yet" whilst I was at the show. Even had someone tell me to "check out the wagon" before I walked through the front door.
Congrats on a standout car.
Look forward to seeing it moving......should look awesome on the road.
How about some build up pics. I am sure most would be interested.
Regards
Alex

Mitch,
I saw that car at Slim's, before he sold it. You've made quite an improvement over what it was.
Those other two wagons at MotorEx were quite tidy cars too, beating both of them is quite an achievement.
Cheers
