EUROnats, mate! :D
I agree with Mr BillyGoat 8-) 8-) 8-)

Mopar Sunday (QLD biggest Mopar event) was last Sunday. I didn't attend for a variety of reasons, but it is PURE Mopar, albeit a lot of 16s+ Hemi 6s! :roll: That's the way to go, but there seems to be a healthier contingent of Mopes over here (I include the US stuff!) than over there....Go figure!

JMTCW! ;)

Much Respect to you Ivor!!!

Was the MuskRat your bike?
I remember seeing that bike back in the Day.

We is all ex-bikers, and the clue is in the EX!!! :D
Still got my FZR rotting away quite merrily in da corner, poor thing.
Last rode it when fuel was still under a nikker, a gallon not a liter, only joking! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good luck in whatever you do, just be careful, we ain't as young as we look/feel/think we are.

Hi Bacca, no the Muskrat belonged to my great old mate Paul Josey (sadly gone now, due to a young driver in a rimmed and piped Corsa doing a U turn in front of him) I was the one wielding the spanners and mixing up the nitro with that bike...mine was the Black Bomber, some way behind the Muskrat! ;)

Nothing wrong with nostalgia bikes and altereds, but its the Mopar Nats, if they are going to race they should be from the same period, 1960s and early 70s. No twin mags, no huge fuel pumps etc etc and limited numbers as exhibition classes.
