Reminds me of the old stories of Bathurst, where the works teams would "borrow" parts from the general public paddock parking to keep the racers going.

Cheers,
Harv

Thats how my wife and I got together, I was walking through the crowd at the speedway between heats as my car had shredded a fanbelt and I was hoping to borrow one for the night - I had given up and was at the bar about to buy a beer when she ran up to me with a fanbelt in her hand

Great gesture blacky, well done.
OoooHhhh, how romantic, in an automotive love of cars way, you had a big win that night in more ways than one

Great story

She’s a keeper, that girl.

Hey Blacky,
If you don’t get the Rattler going and don’t want to risk the smoky ute you are welcome to use my 60Special. I think I owe you one.
See you at the meeting tomorrow.
Trevor

Thanks for the offer Trev but the old tart still goes OK , just need to keep the oil up to it - it’s only been like this for about a year- I probably should do something about fixing it

Someone used to say to me that oils always cheaper than a machine shop.

what an awesome effort by everyone invloved, seeing all of this come together in real time- hats off again to the WA crew who organised it and thanks to you all for the updates along the way. safe travels and enjoy the ride, im hoping i can meet some of you guys when you get here.
