we finally get to see the monaro. hope its going to have a 308 or 350 in it.

also, I just noticed as well,the funnel web, two square rows down, between the 6 and the 7 hand on Extra Balls clock.
Extraball, is that a real spider or is it a "dont touch my friggin clock" plastic spider which keeps the kids away.
Could be a few hundred real onces living inside. Now,u never told us you breed friggin big spiders ! lol

EB, keep us updated, real spider or not ?  ^&^  ohhh, nice car Mark.  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^

Restoring/customising old cars, high end car audio systems and generally bringing things back to life that no one gave a second chance to.

Came from factory with a 430, my new block with an offset grind on the crank came up to 510, and I did not have to touch the bores!

The big improvement will be the fuel injection I am making up for it!

High end stereo systems aka audiophile.  Currently running Genesis 201 speakers with custom tube mono's.  Don't ask about the theater room in the basement.

The ramp business was very very good to me.

I used to collect and restore antique clocks. Got out of the hobby few years ago, but I kept one. Its a 1890's Watsons Scotch Wallclock. I prize this thing more than my pins, keep it wound, hang it in the kitchen, and is the clock everyone here relies on for the time.



Wouldn't catch me near that hing Greg, fake spider not...gives me the shivvers...

Spider is fake, he is a 15 year old refugee from a gumball machine  %$%
Clock is in a mission or arts and crafts style. But Yes Cavey, the spider does make brat kids think twice  *)*

Now I am a volunteer QUALITY CONTROL OFFICER at the local brothel....  :lol :lol :lol
Ditto, have collected VFL/ AFL memorabilia for over 35 years now, also cereal toys + packets/ back panels especially Kelloggs stuff. send hours and lots of $ on Ebay.

Okay since you ask...got a 2.75 meter screen with Altec theater speakers.  Got Magnaplanar Tympani 1D's just for high end kicks, 3-powered subs and lots of amps.  I had to install a separate power panel to handle all the amps in there.
