Amusing car stuff / funny / stories / pics , print / whatcha got

My 1970 Blazer was $2500 "out the door". My first new car! It is still in the yard but needs some TLC.

 

Look like good solid Aussie gumtrees in the background. Going bij the drain along the side of the road it might have rained a bit .

 

Either that or he was following a road train full of cattle. Best to leave a couple of car lengths behind those. Don't ask me how I know

My brother and I had most of those dragsters, only the ARMY one survived over the last 40+ years...

 

Where were you when the shit hit the fan?

 

You know the snowplow man hates that guy

 

Holy connecting rod Batman !!!!

 

I went to college and my mom gave all my models to my younger cousins, her younger sister's kids. Mom thought they were toys and they thought they were hockey pucks.

 

I had one similar to that connecting rod in my front yard. Very stout, and heavy as well.

​

 

I'd hate to have to balance 8 of those!

 

My son lives there, so drive down there frequently.

 

I do the same thing with timing chain covers.

Sigh… the good old days, when Repco made serious go-fast gear for local engines. There are not enough of us Down Under to support that kind of engineering effort, but the stuff they did was cool. I have one of their I6 crossflow heads to run in the FED.

cheers,

I wish I had done more of this before my shop became the home of the home of so many disassembled components surrounded by piles of unmarked bolts, washers, & nuts.
