I even remembered how to swear properly. Ok..... I'll hold my peace...... that's quite a gap though. The swearing is just...... well, it comes natural like. 7 hours ago, GT6MK3 said: More to come...

To name just a few….. This Nick? Just finished a four-round trip interstate move, from New South Wales to Queensland (Kingsland?). My 13/60 is on a ship back to NZ, where I've bought a block of land and built a garage. In ten years or so I'll retire there. My GT6 didn't get much done to it while I was living in NSW. It got dropped off a tilt-tray during the move south, and after I'd had the chassis straightened it thanked me by munching a Supra gearbox bearing. I pushed it into my garage and left it, partly because the garage had a grave floor and I couldn't be arsed pulling the engine out with a crane sinking into the gravel, and partly because I'd bought a faster Triumph. But, when the time came to trailer it up to Queensland, I poured in some fresh petrol, installed a new battery, and it started right up. Mackay, where I'm living now, has a thriving classic car scene, which is good motivation to pull the engine and gearbox out, fix it, and finally get the car road-legal. I'll dig up my old thread rather than mess up Craig's. On the move up. Each leg was about 1200km, and I did four round trips with trailers. This was the last one! In its new home. Much nicerer than the last one. Edited November 13, 2022 by GT6 Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Yes, you were certainly on my missing list, though iirc you have popped up a couple of times. Good to hear from you anyway I know Andy T is alive and should be seeing him in a week or so when we are briefly in Perth. Not going to Queensland this time so you are safe! Be good to see your GT6 thread updated. Not so good to hear your W58 is giving trouble. Mine soldiers on, though does show some signs of age and use.
