in Hi Jon, I'd be happy to have a crack at it too. Looks pretty slick already!

Got a reply from an architect yesterday. He reckons that my budget is too tight to do anything worth having and that the 15m x 3m lap pool alone would cost about $120,000.00!

Great Idea Rob & CJ! I've been pushing for spiral stairs but my wife's not keen... now a fire pole will either be really cool or make her realise the spiral stairs aren't so bad. I'll let you know how that goes.

That is a cool website! I just wasted and hour there looking up my car history. Thanks. Now I just need to find some of those movies.

Hi, Just wondered if anyone on here is following the American Top Gear programme? It is a less than serious show about cars that started out in the UK and then caught on with an Australian version and I've now just caught up with the American version through www.finalgear.com (the site offers...

My carby man says that he reckons he's traced ethanol to be the cause of seals disolving that have been in service for decades. Only happens to some cars. He hasn't said anything about extra wear on any metal surfaces. His opinion is that it should run the same and he doesn't actively tell...

Thanks for the ideas so far... Thanks for all the ideas. At this stage I'm not set on anything. The pool idea is a bit over the top but would be glazed, with the lower section of the roof removed. Tim - that explains what the rails on the floor can be used for!

Sorry, didn't mean to mislead but have. I didn't mean to suggest it is stock. Just the numbered bits are matching but not stock. Has roller and upgraded valve train, edlebrock intake, bit of head work, 650cfm carb. For sure the special's 15 seconds is a lot more exciting than the 13 seconds...

Indeed it is my intention to move in. Cars, kitchen, lounge, pool, bar, bbq and guest rooms downstairs with main bedroom upstairs out the front. It's about 5km to the cbd of Sydney and 4 stops on the train to central station. Golf course and fishing spots about 1km away. The rest of the...

Haven't seen them and can't imagine being so lucky to spot one but they look brilliant! You know where they've come from but they are thoroughly modern. Love it.

#2 be nice to Rob and reassure him we still love him so we get to hear about what happens next.

Hi, Exchanged contracts and deposit on this place on Friday afternoon!!! http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Sale/House/NSW/Tempe/?adid=2008679990 Any suggestions on the best way to use my new-found 435 sqm? (that's roughly the same in square yards) Going out for pricing and concepts from...

Took the matching nos GT/CS 302, 4V, C4, 2.79 cogs ran high 14s and low 15s. Reaction time from .080 to .288. Confused that the fastest runs were with the slower reaction times. I thought it felt like I didn't get traction until a fair way through first and slipped a little more into...

Fascinating Arlie. What made you aware of it in the first place? Can feel it when driving? In the meantime I always thought it cool to alter the suspension to compensate for torque flex under hard launches. There's any number of stories lurking here if you're not too committed to the truth.

Hi, part number on mine: 377356 - They look about 40 years old and it is the same part number as the Cougar shop manual so I'd guess they're original.
