4 events this week end. I'm wiped out entirly; sunburnt and covered in spider bites (That's another story) Robbie, Jane, Noel, Juliette and I managed to make it out to 4 different motoring activities.     1. Archerfield Drift. Held by Dylan Anderson at Nizzpro in Gold Coast, Archerfield drift is a run what you brung type drift event every Thursday night for about $60! Reminds me of my precious Capital Drift. 2. Munch Inn (Munchies) Friday night cruise meet. A massive collection of Aussie muscle, filling entirely...

What did you do with your 3 years in Victoria Quinn? Three years ago I acquired a wagon, pre-sold on my behalf by friends of the province I was leaving for my arrival in a new side of the country. This $50 wagon began it's life on epic terms, with a certain doom of epic-ness. Over the next three years the car would evolve using literally scrap junk people rejected as unusable condition goods.

Please, share this with your friends.  Win a 'racing' car!

Either his 4th gear was excessively long, or the rear end ratio is long. The latter is the more likely of the scenarios. His 308 V8 would've needed quite a clean strong, and long power band from low RPM's through to the high ones in order to run such long gears for the first scenario mentioned. The second is...
