Those air struts aren't too healthy.

President's Trial.

Or should that be the Immediate Past President's Trial?
Anyway, it was a nice day for it.
Here's 3 photos from Roger taken at the Tavern on Hindmarsh Island.

This Cobra is significant for its unpainted aluminium body.
And here's one from Greg.

Not a bad roll up.

From our Bangkok corespondent.

6 kids going to school on a scooter. This is not acceptable to the Thai people. Why, you might ask. It's not because there are 6 on the bike, that's OK. The problem is that the rider must wear a helmet. Not the passengers, just the rider. Which one is the rider? That's a hard question.

Seen at the Sandown historics.

Bring back the original side mirrors!

Kapunda - week 93

This Chev pick-up rolled into town the other day. As far as pick-ups go, I've always had a bit of a leaning towards Chevs. Probably because F100s are 5c a dozen in this country and Chevs are less common. Also, I guess, Chev sedans have featured strongly in our family, having had examples of '39. '48, '55, '56, '57 and '58.

Ikara no.9

This is the only photo I have of B9/9, taken in my driveway when we lived at Parkside. The pale blue one on the right is B9/2. B9/9 is one of only 2 Ikaras that we haven't been able to track down. The other one is the one that went to South Africa. Anyway this lovely dark blue car was built by Tony Cullen in Blackwood and later sold to Jono Foote who, after some close shaves with trucks etc., painted it yellow in the hope that it might be more visible on the road. Jono, a pilot, moved from Adelaide to Brisbane and we lost track of the car completely. However, he did come back with the car in one piece. Some time after that Jono's brother, Peter, wrote it off and it sat around for a while. It was salvageable and Jono dismantled it with the view to rebuilding it. His wife, however, decided that he didn't need a project and it was subsequently sold to someone who did. That was the end of the trail. In recent times, say, in the last 6 months, Jono ran into the guy who bought it and was able to learn that it is now blue again and was bought by someone in Victoria. We can now direct our search to there. Victoria is only a small place.

Soon to hit the road.

Tucked away for some time now, the only Ikara in WA has been gathering dust and cobwebs and waiting for its resurrection. Things are about to change and the red Ikara has been moved over to Barry's for a bit of a tidy up.

Well......more than a tidy up but the bottom line is that another Ikara is destined for the road.

My Bricklin query.

Answered in part by Neil Baker at Coffee & Cars this morning.

Getting old.

Birthday boy. Poor old fellow.

How did he get such a young wife?
