Google maps. Searching accomodation for a trip to Elles family seat at Georgetown. They are selling off the catalick choich, and we have to go collect the Noonan family stained glass window or somesuch, oh and drink lots of beer of course. We ended up with a booking at the Georgetown Hotel. It’s the pub that dropped out of the sky in a beer ad years ago. We stayed there last about 1985…..

Gave the old girl a mini birthday today - hoping to get one car to the Nats at least Image front wheel bearing was a bit wobbly so checked them both, adjusted the brakes and caster , got half a turn of adjustment out of the steering gear and gave the wheels a polish. Tipped a can of stop smoke in the donk even though it’s probably a waste of time

The old girl had a bit of a miss yesterday, was smoking like it was an extra in a Cheech and Chong movie ….

Pulled the plugs this morning and this was number 6 - I don’t know much about reading plugs but I think this is a bit crook ImageImageImageImage

If it only had one blue door, and the rest red/primer, it could be mistaken for Love Machine :lol:

She got us home - just ….. developed a miss again at Bannister about 125km out of Perth , was surging and carrying on - I assumed it had either fouled that plug again or it was about to sieze as the oil pressure had dropped so just kept the boot into it and hoped for the best.
We said goodbye to Trev Karen and Stoney at Armadale and took Brian and Kerrie to CEVA to drop their FB off , stopped at a car wash and I washed the ute plus degreased the engine bay , this was less than 10km from home and this is what she looked like once back in the shed -

Oil pressure at idle was a bit low ….. Image
