If Donkey gets his radiator back by Friday arvo we will come out to the servo sunday morning for a catchup but won,t be able to come for the drive with you unfortunately.
He's having a couple of brake issues atm too.
Speaking of which, who do you guys use for getting brake shoes rebonded?
Lizzie had told me last time I was out visiting but I have lost my note pad I wrote it in.

If I could grab a set of bonded ones that would be great, then I will send mine off to be done with worrying whether they will be back in time for the dot to dot run.
Once mine are back I will drop them into you so that your not without a fresh set.
I knew Napoleon was a champion. Donkey will love him always.
I could grab off you on Sunday morning if that suits.

All good Trish tells me we covered the same km's as we would have 1 way to sydney

We had minimal problems on the first day with no breakdown stops

a bonnet up here and there at a smoko/lunch stops but 2 minute fixes. Today we got to a town with no servo open and 100km

run to the next fuel stop which Missy ran out and we had to milk ol yella to get to the servo. We had a top weekend with good freinds and lots of good food,accomodation and plenty of wise and no so wise remarks

bing on the weekend after next

That RX2 is a beautiful, has had a full rebuild right down to replacing all the Mazda stickers on air cleaneer, coils and windows ect, it belongs to Linsay (opr910) sister and brother in law. every one who has been to the nationals will know them, we also had a beautiful RX7 with us, but they had to leave us early Sunday morning.

The rx2 was on a shakedown also as Geoff said a lovely example, it had a lot of extra effort put into the restoration and it showsit is a credit to the owner's that are well known from past nationals.
