Yep, I saw it too. Great shot of the car on full noise with smoke tearing out the back of it.

Congrats on the effort on the car Adam. You have very good car taste :spoton:

The magazine also has a feature on the 'Big Rob' LC. Another guy with good car taste - its got to be one of the best looking LC's ever built. Right colour inside and outside, right wheels, right stance, right engine - and driven hard and at every car show. Nice job.

Did you manage to see the show? Slid around their carpark like it was ice. 275 street slick MT's aren't enough need to go 325, bigger tubs and a clip maybe...

or atleast just look at it.

Hahayeah I will do next time....

Hey get down to Murray bridge (for guys who live in SA), I'll put on a show, hehe. Changing oil, and coolant today as I think the run in period with my engine is over, that's what 5 minutes of burnout at 7000rpm in top gear will do! :spoton:

Well for those that came to Autofest I hope you enjoyed the show. I came second place and Danny Smith Came first, leaving me with $500.00 prize money and a trophy. Car was running a bit rich in 1st for go-to-whoa(so did power skids most of the time), but without trying managed to only be .2 of a second off of the winners time, so next year I will run nitrous and fix my jetting. I must say it left Summernats for shame, I loved every second of it. I went through 8 sets of brand new retreaded tyres. Here's some pics if ya missed it...

Need sponsorship. Gota price of a billet 8/71 complete kit for $4500.00 or a weiand 8/71 for $3500.00, tempting. May put it on layby. Run it on avgas and have static compression of 14:1 running 6psi. :rockon:

Well, even though I have the gtr back, it is no way near as fun as the HB as I love to drive cars really hard. There's another pic in the new street machine mag, I think page 40, and also videos of it in the burnout comp on Saturday night which it won, here's for the slackas that can't be bothered going to general discussion page...

Thanks Notna! It's never finished tho. I still want it painted by the end of the year and possibly a bigger mountain of metal with an 8/71 blower... :spoton:
