Look what I stumbled across yesterday...
@blownhemi:Yes, it is Warwick.Ray with the Cuda, has a Pantara, he broke it at the road coarse, then we had to get a tray to get it home.I had driven his Holden Ute out, so we had wheels. So we stopped at Willowbank on the way home there was a Test and tune and our other friend Andy was there in his BB blown Chevy.
I should have said my friends in Australia call those "Sergeant in arms", not that is what "they" call them, because it appears not everybody in Oz calls them that.
But "your alright mate"
@frankenduster: Yes it is strange.When you get on it, you are sitting on the other side of the torque. It feels real starnge.Willowbank drag strip at the time, used a 4 teenths blink down tree instead of a 5 teenths, that was hard to get used to.
The harder thing is Rays ute is 3 on the tree. It is on the left side of the column, but the pattern is backwards too. So when ever I stop, I have to think about where 1st is, then I always hit reverse shifting. He always tells me he has to put a new clutch and tranny in every time I visit!
We were there durning the big Brisbane floods in 2011. We were on Frazier Island, and came back through Rainbow beach.Only because Ray knew all the back roads to take we barely got back to Brisbane, then the next day, barely got out of the airport, because they closed the big bridge (gateway) over the river because of all the boats and docks coming down. But we did get out, and went to Sydney.
