Maiden voyage - Deuce 3W

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by rat bastad, Jan 29, 2006.

  1. Ok guys....I drove my ride on its first serious drive to the Oz capital in Canberra from Melbourne. That constitutes around 7-8 hrs of driving. Jimbob and Sam were following on this trip after attending the Vic Hot Rod show in Melbourne.

    The car ran real well, considering it was 42 deg C...I dunno what that works out to in Farenheit, but it was fuckin HOT, I mean, the air was searing hot. The flatty ran all the way at around 180-195 without using the elec fan.

    To say I was stoked is an understatement. When I left I had around 120 miles or so on the odometer....so it was fresh and untested.

    I made it there but I had to stop for a wheel alingmenet as my tires were toein in too much. That was worth the stop alone in rural New South Wales, it was an old skool art deco styled tire joint so it was worth it.

    Here are some pix....hope u like

    Very nice car. Great stance. You've got to be proud. Too bad you guys must run fenders, although your's are small,neat and almost not noticeable...Mike
