Peter V. in Sydney, has just completed a conversion of his 260Z to a 240 GTO lookalike and has done a pretty good job of it.

See this you-tube video :-

With that out of the way, almost, he's looking for another project and wants that project to be a Bolwell Mark 7. If anyone knows of something suitable could they let us know via this blog? Bear in mind, he's a pensioner and not exactly flushed with money so the bigger the project the better.

One that I missed.

Beven sent me this.

Where are all the Goggos coming from?

They seem to be coming out of the woodwork like old Kombi vans.
This one's been around forever.

But what about these?

They're even getting into a bit of competition.

Although that's not exactly new.

However Colin Will didn't seem to take it all too seriously, lining his ute up in reverse at Coonamia Drags at Pt. Pirie back in the 60s.

The next Gourlay creation.

Finishing touches to the plug for the next Sports sedan body.

You can see the built in flanges for a large diffuser. This new Audi body will be based on the B7 A4 this time and will be all carbon fibre, much lighter than the previous car which has a metal roof and sills.

Ferruccio's Lamborghini boat.

I've always loved this photo. The idea of the man himself messing about in a boat fitted with 2 of his V12s because he could sounds pretty hot to me. But this was no ordinary boat it was a Riva.

The Italian Riva speedboat is the Lamborghini of the water.

I discovered some details.... "The iconic Riva Aquarama Lamborghini (hull #278) was registered and delivered on 7 June 1968 to its famous owner Ferruccio Lamborghini. The boat had some specific and unique features. It was the first and only one fitted with 2 Lamborghini engines and it had special side railing for holding onto during waterskiing and record attempts. The engine compartment was modified to fit the engines and a special exhaust was built just to meet Ferruccio's demands. For over 20 years Ferruccio was the owner of this boat until he decided to sell the boat to a close friend in July 1988 named Angelo Merli. Several speedskiiing records were broken and Ferruccio was very passionate about his Riva as part of his lifestyle and exponent of Italian craft and design, maybe just as passionate as he was about his Muira".

Grey stuff - 43.

The Laydown Special.

Justin's Bolly.

This is Justin, doing what he does best. His other talent is racing Australian sports cars in historic events in the UK.

The Milano is now long gone and the ex-Camp, ex-Kusters Nagari...............

 .........is making huge progress in its preparation to be a Cobra GT beater in Justin's hands. Progress like this...

The next step is road registration where the Nagari will be re-acquainted with its old rego number EKP224K.

Barry's Bolly.

Fanatic or madman?

Who else fibreglasses their bonnet hinges in 41 degree heat?

Greg's Bolly.

This bloke doesn't muck around.

Wants to drive it to Easter.
He hasn't given into temptation and hot wired it though. We know he wants to.

Grey stuff - 42

It'd be interesting to know the history of this one.

A nice little lesson from George May.

George has a business called Racecraft on the Gold Coast and a very helpful man.

2017 World Champion.
