Well Mo I remember you telling me that these old Mopars want to run almost by themselves sometimes and I kept that in my mind because even though she was running bad she still wanted to run.
I still would not have gotten there without yourself, Bill, Gar, Brian and Vin...big big thanks again...next year will be better I will do loads of prep work on her before I leave.
I will have to meet up with you and Bill and Gar and the lads for a well deserved beer or two on me!!!
I would not even have set out in the first place in a car running as rough as that.
Only 6 cylinders firing, the carb pouring fuel in at a rate of almost a pint per minute, the plugs that were firing fouling up, one exhaust manifold blowing completely and onto the bulkhead wiring....
Christ almighty Wayne. I will not be able to sleep all night the next time I am expecting you.
Have a few of these on me.
Well folks that would be my mandatory ribbing from Robbo, I knew that would be coming around soon enough!!
Well done on the perseverence! Its great to hear these accounts - I mean, not great for sht happening but great to see the determination...
Hope you guys come back for more, and I think Mo will miss out the 12s and go str8 to the 11s!

I actually remember you parking behind the car If Id known it was you I would have said Hi!!
Yeah sorry i didn't hang around I'd promised Daisy a spin on the bike.
I figured if you were gone when i got back you were probably ok.
What did i know eh
have a bit of work to do now, but have something to work from, gears, carb, get rid of bulk weight including belly! slicks, susp etc!
Should be fun. A bit of a learning curve.
Red fantastic report mate and was good to meet you and reading this made me laugh so much but hats off to you mate my report would make you go to sleep.
Got up went to Santa Pod 40 mins to drive there stuck tent up ate and drank too much watched loads of racing all weekend spoke to loads of folks thoroughly enjoyed myself even with taking my 9 year old Daughter for the first time went home no dramas apart from the little being heat exhausted so bit worrying but again no dramas.
