Yeah they started out as a 33" joke, but that was 5 years ago and now I actually find riding the mongrel comfortable. Going past coffee shops in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney is lots of fun especially with the short shot pipes.

So much to be said, although (this time) none of it by me.
Love the new Zombie by the way Binner.

The flappy paddles and the price stopped me buying a Sport. I'm old and set in my ways and like three pedals for fun little cars. So mine had less grunt and less toys, but with a proper manual and Australian speed limits, it's most of the fun. And frankly, the three cylinder turbo when thrashed sounds great!

And today, the Falcon spits a fuel pump. 
It's getting a brand new XR6 pump dropped in right now, mine again after school. Slightly bigger pump with the already decent sized injectors should give me a tad more braap on the floor
Really hoping this is the last of the issues for a while... first it was thermostat housing, then starter, then a few vacuum hoses blew, then a fuel pump goes. I just want my car!

Binner that is mint, good job. Is that shifter so you can get reverse without having to depress the stick?
Small effort today, headliner. Didn't come out right, cut one section too short so will redo tomorrow with something through the centre to give it a smooth curve along the roof line.

yeah the black knob is reverse shift, pull up and shift. I like the headliner idea man, how are you holding it up on the roof?

Today is just a test, might try and figure out some dowel or metal strip that's strong enough to hold it but not saf up the centre to hold it up, it sags at the moment. $20 worth was enough for two attempts so that's not bad. Couldn't justify a new headliner on a rat.
Is the shifter short shift too? All I know about kombi shifters is stirring a spoon through porridge. Looks the goods, excited to see how the interior comes up. Any work on the beetle?
That's not a bad idea actually, for now it's just a pbr can. Gotta find a new shifter and mechanic is encouraging me to get something like binners but might save that till the new engine. Still on the hunt for a shrunken head to hang from the rear view mirror. If only the girlfriends housemate would donate herself to the cause...

^^ Chris Harris on cars is great. Check out the video about tires in the old lancia rally cars.

Yeah my son has put me onto this guy and have enjoyed his reviews (but then I grew tired of Top Gear Clarkson ego nonsense quite early on).
Mates wife has the previous Clio RS and it is a hoot, and fun even at (close to) speed limit. Ride is remarkably civilised for the handling performance on tap.
Lease is almost up and she is about to replace it with this current version so looking forward to a drive.
Another mate has current Clio GT and loves it.
All up has really changed my view of Renaults.

They're good cars. Not the best built, not the most reliable (not the worst either), but engineered for fun and character. And they just handle so well - frogs and Italians always make great handling cars. They have to, Italian and French drivers are all insane!!

They have some serious collectors there. Where do they get the money?!
They have an F40. *sigh* That car makes me sad because I know I will never drive it. :sad:

I was an Alfaholic for 20 years so get it entirely.
The Alfas were replaced with a reliable family car and a Honda VFR 800 motorbike (for me).
