robplum: oh i dunno about that, just two or three would probably suffice


laugh You have to remember that women living in the same house are prone to PMSing at the same time. That considerably increases your personal risk.

wash2u: But Jem, you also live in one of the worst areas in the State for the 2-wheelers to fall over.


yep and I ride with that knowledge, carefully, and as though every other vehicle on the road is out to get me.

I know I am not bulletproof, far from it, but for now it is my transport as silly me lent my car to someone and the returned it with a blown motor after having driven it knowingly without welsh plugs. Once fixed, never to be lent again

Interesting shape. Knowing what I pay for a new European car in insurance, I know that's going to hurt you with insurance... and that's beside the cost of the car...but you will own something unique.

If that's your dream, maybe you should just go for it.

I want to go over and LooK at one close up, drive it, see how I feel seated in it ...

then it has to be converted to rhd on top of other Aust safety standards ... and then yes insurance ...

I read somwhere there are only two of these in Oz ...

I believe that, I just read the stats on the car. It was originally the Plymouth Prowler. Conversions are always a bit of a worry, you have to choose someone very reputable to do the work. I can see why the car appeals to you, but then you are limited by our speed limits... And you would want to take that car out and push it's limits a little.

Sam Newman just spent $750,000 on a new Lamboughini, bet he won't let his girlfriend drive that one

...but it's not just ANY car!

My ex was in Street Machine years ago with an American conversion. That was his moment of fame. It was also the reason that my brother accepted the marriage. laugh

All kidding aside, he always led me to believe that the best converters were in Sydney, but times would have changed.

Yes, it's a lot of money for a dream. However, it's your dream... So really it's up to you. I would probably take that down to Phillip Island and use the track. Although I am sure you have local tracks so you can push it a little.

lol Shell, it's amazing what I find when I have the clean out, gold coins sometimes lol, MINE!!! They love emptying their school bags as soon as they get in the car Grrrrr, half eaten lunch, newsletters, notes.

I'm scared to clean it sometimes, she might get a fright and decide not to go anymore roflol plus she is my work horse, I don't have a tow bar so the only way I can do a yard cleanup is in the back of the wagon doh
