Hi, the build quality on your car is second to none. You should be proud of that effort. Just a quick question. That sandblaster you used to underneath did it do the job. I'm thinking of buying one myself and doing the same.

Ruts.

It only looks that way Rory. :D

There is an old line that says "owning a boat is like standing in a cold shower washing $50 notes down the drain"

I used to have a big boat. Sold it to buy an investment property and did a deal with the Mrs to buy an A9X hatch.

You all know the story, i am building the hatch to race with money that won't buy a bunky A9X hatch now.

I think i have a couple of dollars left on the deal. :spoton:

Don't tell the wife...........

When I worked for Frank Matich he was into deep sea fishing fly bridge type boats...He said if you ever wanted to own a boat (That stands for..Bring Over Another $1000!)...you could just stand out in Eastern Valley Way and throw $100 bills down the road...It has the same effect! :huh:
